GoDaddy expands it’s ICANN accredited registrars to make the total 8 registrar accounts, this is so that they can improve on the capture / Domain Snatching abilities.
The reason is that Verisign imposes a limit on every registrar, a limit on how many requests a registrar can send in per hour, and in the 2 hours domains are dropped, every registrar has better chances of fulfilling back orders when they have more registrar accounts to send the requests from
So this explains why godaddy’s abilities to catch domain names once they become available again has improved, here is the list.
GoDaddy, Inc.
Blue Razor Domains, Inc.
Wild West Domains, Inc.
Go Australia Domains, Inc.
Go Canada Domains, Inc.
Go China Domains, Inc.
Go France Domains, Inc.
Go Montenegro Domains, Inc.
So if you find that a domain you have backordered with GoDaddy or one of it’s affiliates has been assigned to one of the registrars above, congrats, godaddy has secured the domain name.
It is worth noting that if a domain name is registered with GoDaddy, godaddy will undoubtedly and certainly secure it, but the natural lifecycle of the domain name will be different because GoDaddy will drop the domain early so that only they can anticipate the drop and recapture without a redemption fee.
