Yesterday I spent a good part of my day searching multiple names to see if they were available, and jotted them down on a list. Today - after thinking it over I decided to purchase several of them. To my surprise, names that cost $9.75 yesterday now are considered Premium Domains for an asking price of $3000 and $5000. How is this possible just 24 hours later. I theorize my searches are tracked. How else can this be explained ??. It sickens me because I have been a loyal customer and have promoted this company every chance I've had. If true.. this is an absolutely unforgivable business practice.

Please accept my apologies !!!

I was searching dozens of possible name combinations - and got into a groove where as soon as I saw the name in bold, I checked it off my list as available, and moved on.

I realized this after catching myself a few times, for other names that already had hefty premiums attached (vs. the $9.75).

Now I make a point of checking every price as well.

As I said, I hope I was wrong. I forget who referred me to Dynadot. I do feel safe & secure with this company.

Thanks

Maybe you used some public whois checker?

We don't track (excluding the premium domain searches, which you are able to opt out of) or sell your search data .  Are you sure the domains you were interested in weren't already owned and listed as premium?  What is the registration date?

I really hope I'm mistaken. I just can't believe I wouldn't notice the inflated "premium" prices. Hopefully someone at Dynadot can restore my faith in their practices, and tell me when these domain names status changed. I want to be wrong, because I'm so upset to think that this is possible. Please help.
