Backorder domain, don't waiste your money on

[steveteva]

I want to tell people that it's no way to waist money on Snapnames.com, I ve subscribe and have many backorders of great expired domains and everytime they send email telling me, "sorry, were unable to secure and register....." After a year with no domain secured, they take your $60.00 as fee.
I waiste my time and money, also great domains were secure with their competitors like pool.com or enom.com....
If you had any similar experiences, tell here.

I currently have a couple domains on back order..but none of them have come to their expiration dates yet.

Is it too late for me to call the whole thing off? I didn't know they took $60 either way after a year...I backordered names I never expected to get.

Snapnames is nomore a first come first served backorder service provider.

Now they follows pool's auction model.

So u never lose ur money. It will be in your credit. If you bid for a domain now and if that domain have several bids, it will go into auction. otherwise, you will win the domain, if atall they snaps back that domain.

I m very mad with snapnames, see why, all these great domain fail to register by them (these worth thousand and was taken for very less during auction on their competitors backorder system):

body.net
j8.net
portablepc.com
kayak.net
keypads.com
.....

Their message receive by email :-( everytime I try to secure a fantastic domain name :

"We attempted to secure the domain name:

body.net

...as it was released by the registry, but the attempt was unsuccessful. We're sorry that we were unable to acquire the domain name."


If you were me and ready to spend thousand dollars on it, sure you will want to say that they are not serious at all.
Don't forget to read their policies, if after a year unssucces registration, they take your money as fee so if over thousand subscriber like me did not get a domain, they make $60 000/year
or you can snapback a no value domain for $60.00 + registration fee with network solution $35.00
