Last time I used snapnames.com to grab an expiring name. But snapname did not work and someone grabbed the name. This time I have decided to use expirefish to grab a name. But again same thing happened. I am wondering if anyone know that what is the fastest and most effective way to grab an expiring name other than snapname and expirefish.

The WLS will make these other two services (and alike) irrelevant in the deleted/expired domain industry.


That'll be your best bet, when it's live.

True, but when the time comes SnapNames' system will convert existing subscriptions to WLS subscriptions (if available) I believe. Not sure about ExpireFish.

When will WLS Subscriptions become available? Any ETA?

DropWizard (www.dropwizard.com) has apparently has some success against SnapNames. It is more expensive, but you don't pay unless you win.

Keep in mind that different drop services have relationships with different registrars, so some services may have more luck than others depending on the registrar.

The fastest method: do it yourself with a custom-made script and sacrifice some sleep :D
