If you have eNom account you can beat GoDaddy backorder system!

Here is how it was programmed:
Created 3 eNom accounts (Credit card info needed)
These three accounts were used for ONLY checking domains.

I used forth account for purchasing with an account I found on here that gives you $1.00 refund... This guy is legit so sign up if you get a chance! His name is acts238

I realized that .75 delay was optimum WITHOUT being banned, I checked for the ban code as specified before, if ban code came up I added .50 second delay.

With this setup you can check 4 Domains every .75 seconds!
With this setup I beat a domain that was on backorder with GoDaddy!

I realized that small time players have advantage because we focus on mainly 3 or 4 High Traffic Domains.. Where as, GoDaddy must have 100-200 items in the que.

hahaha good one

godaddy is known to its slowness since tons of orders and only 2 registrars work to get them compared to enom, snapnames and pool with tons of registrars

you basically you sent CHECK command via eNom API and then PURCHASE if the reply is AVAILABLE ?

At least you'll save a handful of dollars per name. Good for you.

The other day I actually used GoDaddy to grab a drop since I had to be away from my computer in the afternoon (Eastern time). I know that it is not a much sought after name, but I'm afraid when I got back in the evening, it *might* be gone. So, I used GoDaddy for just the cost of 1 extra registration, and got the domain name I like. Not bad.

nothing is impossible, sometimes your register command slips between milliseconds and register the domain for you :D

but checking then register i sthe impossible thing
