Suggestion: Create a "My Searches" listing that tells us when a domain we want is coming available? -- meaning, I dont have to go over to about 5 other places and check their soon-to-be-released lists but can add to my search list here at Dynadot. I have one now at Namejet, with about 25 names being searched every day. When it finds something I am looking for it sends me an email that xxxx.tld is coming up and do I want to bid on it? If I do, then the domain is put into auction. If not it just gets released to the public.
These are rarely owned by Namejet but they have some form of connect to the pooling system. Result is, if I am intersted I will put up a real-time min bid, which then informs them to pick up the domain if they can, then try to sell it to me. They make some serious cash in doing so. (Their profit is a minimum of $60. If goes to auction, so much much more.) But I pay for getting the jump on a few hundred to thousand people. I have won (in auction) several VERY important Names this way -- well worth the money (to me). One domain I was tracking for 5 years and could only have known about it coming available by being on such a list. Another I just put in a min bid and no one else bid so I got it at the min. bid price.
So, can dynadot do this? At least have a "coming available to a neighborhood near you" list? The categories are, "pre-Release" and "Pending Delete". Problem with Namejet is that is only does the top 4 tld for the US, not even .us, and no other geo area.
