Dropcatching

DAC/EPP Hosted Solution

Unlike many other dropcatching solutions that rely on PGP signed emails and system queues, our DAC/EPP Hosted dropcatching software interfaces with Nominet’s latest EPP server, enabling fast real-time domain acquisition of dropping domain names.

We will provide you with DAC hosting, a unique IP address and a web-based EPP dropcatching client/interface. You must be a Nominet member and TAG holder with access to the DAC. The cost is £300 per month plus a setup fee of £150. Our servers are <2ms from Nominet. There is no ongoing commitment other than the monthly fee.

Not convinced?

Why not give our DAC/EPP Hosted Solution a one-week test drive for only £150 plus a setup fee of £150. Remember, Nominet TAG and membership required.

UK Domain Backordering

If you don’t have a Nominet TAG and would like to try and acquire a domain name that you know is going to drop on a certain day, then why not book it with us for backordering? We will try to acquire that domain name for you on a no catch, no fee basis.

You will be charged an upfront fee of £30 for each domain name that you backorder with us. If we're unsuccessful in catching a domain name that you have backordered with us then we will automatically refund your money in full.

Please note: We reserve the right to refuse any backorders. We currently do not double-book names. Also, If you are an existing monthly hosted client, we are currently unable to accept backorders from you, as this would present unfair competition problems -- please use your own account.

To backorder a domain name please click on the 'Book Now' button.

Drop Lists

We provide lists of .uk names that are expected to drop on each particular day of the week. These lists comprise ~500 names per day, and are sent out about 1 week in advance of the anticipated drop date, and are listed by day to avoid confusion. The cost for this service is £50 per month. There is no ongoing commitment other than the monthly fee.

Windows PGP Dropcatching Solution

Nominet are supporting both EPP and PGP domain registration requests, and our Windows PGP dropcatching client will run from your laptop at home, as well as on a fast remote server. Please contact us for a quotation. Again, Nominet membership and TAG are required. Price is for lifetime use.

We will supply you with the software hosted on your own server, for £15,000, including installation. Requires Linux (FreeBSD 6.3 recommended), PHP5 and MySQL.
