Unfortunately many of the top
domain sales are under NDA.
Has GoDaddy entered the drop-catching business in Australia?
Looked up the ABN – I’ve seen the registrant pick up domains on Netfleet and Domain Shield too.
@Andrew – that’s my point. He’s a regular buyer – I was just amazed that GoDaddy picked the domain up (given Netfleet’s snap technology). Never seen that happen before.
So it wasn’t caught by Drop or Domainshield either?
@Alex – didn’t see a bid on Drop, though there could well have been a $1 bid. Not sure if there was a bid on DS.
I tried updating an existing .com backorder to a .com.au and no dice. Could it have been a hand reg due to a software glitch at Netfleet? Sometimes it happens, albeit probably not so close to the drop window.
I know it is a strange occurrence Richard, that’s why I wrote about it. 😉
I looked everywhere on GoDaddy’s site to see if there was some magical new offering, but came up with zilch.
Netfleet’s platform performed yesterday without any apparent glitches – 14 contested domains; they won 10; and lost 3 to Drop.com.au and the one to GoDaddy.
I imagine there will now be a flurry of people trying to hand reg a good domain on GoDaddy come 1pm each day. LOL!
