 | View Full Version : Successfully back-ordered my first domain Jasber 12-03-2003, 06:23 PM I got it! A little happy. I feel kind of stupid tho because I did it through GoDaddy and Pool, but I just wanted to be sure. Pool ended up getting it and it makes me wonder if I hadn't done it through pool if GoDaddy would have gotten it. Ah well, was worth it. :) Two thumbs up to Pool. kohashi 12-03-2003, 06:27 PM Congratulations, mind sharing your precious domain that you successfully won? Jasber 12-03-2003, 06:52 PM Well I don't think it's official as of yet, because the status still says "Acquired - awaiting payment". I entered my credit card info as required and now begins the waiting. I assume everything is ok, but the domain is juped.com. This might not mean a lot to lots of people but a friend and myself were looking at this domain for three months hoping it would drop so we could rename our IRC network. And we finally can! I do have a question tho, it seems kinda off that Pool didn't require me to input my credit card info before it back ordered my domain. Seems some people could just walk away from the order.

A nice brandable name for your IRC network. I wish you the best of luck! Knogle 12-04-2003, 09:59 AM Congratulations kfreak. Do you plan to setup the network with Bryan of DarktidesNET by any chance? :) Jasber 12-04-2003, 06:55 PM No, unfortnuately I haven't talked to Bryan in a few weeks :( Hard guy to get a hold of now-a-days. snapnames 12-05-2003, 06:21 AM Congrats! I think anyone can backorder names . I do it my self. Yes it is a little bit work. But by doing so I learn a lot about how domain deletion works and ofcourse don't have to pay 60$ :-) Division Host 12-05-2003, 10:41 AM I like the domain i thinks its worth alot in my mind but congrats dmaven 12-05-2003, 03:57 PM Originally posted by kfreak Two thumbs up to Pool. Agreed, they have been doing well lately Jasber 12-05-2003, 04:05 PM Finally accepted my payment. I think I put my credit card info in wrong. Don't wanna do that too many times :( cpureview 12-05-2003, 07:49 PM Congratulations! I too have had much success with pool. It's hard to rely on just one snap service though - I think you did the right thing by trying to grab the domain through multpile sources. wshd 12-06-2003, 01:24 AM Anyone ever experience trying to backorder from Godaddy a domain that is deleted but you get an error that it cannot be backordered at this time? And in thier registry it shows as taken but has no whois information? kohashi 12-06-2003, 02:51 AM Could you provide an example please? |
