Acquiring an Expiring Domain Name: Case Study Launches

June 6, 2010 - PRLog -- So you’ve been eyeing a domain name for a while. The front page features one of those run-of-the-mill link farms, and the owner doesn’t seem to be doing anything with it. You have checked the WhoIs listing, and you saw that the domain will expire in less than a year. This makes you wonder: What if they don’t renew? What if...?

In the olden days, you might have waited until the day of the “drop” and tried to register the domain manually. But times have changed. Thousands of eyes monitor the list of expiring domains every day, and sophisticated programs compete to register the hottest domains automatically. Is all lost? Far from it.

A Site About Nothing is pleased to announce the launch of a case study showcasing how expiring domain names can be caught. “I hope to have created the best page about name catching,” says Andy. “Or at least, one in the top hundred.” Joke aside, it’s a great resource, and it's free.

The case study takes you through the process of registering a domain name that is about to expire. It discusses the pros and cons of retaining a domain catching service, compares the available services, and presents the strategy that the author followed to catch the domain he had been hankering for.
