Frequently asked questions

When is a domain eligible?

Registered names that expire within 90 days, or that are already in redemption / pending delete. Available names should be registered normally. Restricted TLDs such as .gov and .edu.tr are rejected.

Is catching guaranteed?

No. Drop-catch is a race. We poll every second from our registrar account, but another registrar may win.

What does $28 include?

The watch and catch attempt only. The first-year registry/registrar registration fee of the domain itself is separate if the name is won.
