Expiring Godaddy Domains

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by tonyuk, Oct 23, 2009.

    I have been tracking a couple of domains that are registered on Godaddy. It seems that the owner has lost interest in his domains and one by one he is letting them expire. There are a couple that I would like that expire within 2 weeks.

    How easy would it be for me to get these domains and what is the best process to get them?

    "Snap" domain website:
    Snapnames.com, Pool.com or Namejet.com is good :)

    The best way is contact the domain owner and ask them to sell it to you.

    Are they in redemption period already? If not, go to tdnam.com. This will happen to domains that are not renewed by owner at godaddy:

    25th day after expiry date it will enter tdnam.com auction for starting price $10
    After 10 days if not bids are made it will go to to fire sale for $5
    After 5 days if not sold in fire sale it will go to redemption period after few days

    Than you mostly know the story already

    snapnames or get a backorder from GD. Contacting the owner and just buying them is a good idea, too.

    it's stupid and nonsense at all since you let the domain owner know you are interesting for their domains, the price will go to sky.

    I would back order it so you know you will get it as soon as it expires.
