is it worth to order "domain back order"

[asantha]

How a domain could deleted? only if it expired right? (is there any other ways that a domain could be grabbed by a backorder)

do you guys thinnk a good domain will not renew by the owner?

I saw its $99 for domain backorder on netfleet.. is it worthy to do?

Domains only become available on the "drops" if they have expired, or if they have been "Policy Deleted".

If it's a good name, it is worth the risk paying for a backorder on Netfleet - imho. I say this because they have been quite successful in snapping most names lately.

But - and it's a big but - nothing is guaranteed! Best to cover yourself on Drop as well.

i tried to back order a domain on netfleet.. but i cant.. if it is been listed in any auction in netfleet or if it is two letter..

it says

"This domain has been reserved by our system and if released will be sold via our Snapper auction
You can signup for a FREE Alert and we will email you if the domain is due to be purged."

I think netfleet trying to own all two letter domains.


just try to put any two letter domain,, it will give above error msg.. i think its unfair..

If i recall correctly Netfleet previously stated here on DNT that they have a reserved list of names (premium generic domains) that are not available for back order. These names will go to drop auction if they expire.

I'm guessing 2 letter domains fall under this category.

I tried recently given the expiry date was drawing near and the website was down as were a bunch of other sites the same person owned. I figured there was a good chance of it dropping but it didn't happen. Worth the $100 punt in some cases if it looks like everything is lining up.
