Drop Catch Service
A platform that uses fast automated systems to register expiring domains the moment they become available.
A drop catch service is a platform that attempts to register expiring domains the moment they are released from the pending-delete phase, using server infrastructure co-located with registry servers for maximum speed. Major services include DropCatch, SnapNames, NameJet, and GoDaddy Auctions. Most charge a flat fee to attempt the catch, with multi-party backorders going to auction. Co-location gives these services a significant speed advantage over manual registration attempts.
