FAQ

What is domain drop catching?

Domain drop catching is the practice of swiftly registering expired domain names as soon as they become available for registration again.

How does Domain Parachute work?

We continuously monitor domain drop lists from Nominet, the .UK domain name registry, to identify expiring domain names. You can use our service to search and backorder expiring domain names, and our system will swiftly try to register the domain names for you once they become available.

What domains can I catch through your service?

You can catch UK domains (.co.uk, .uk, .org.uk, .me.uk) using our service.

How much does it cost?

We operate a pay-on-catch service, meaning no upfront costs to backorder your expired domain names. We charge a fee only when we successfully catch your domain name.

Can multiple users backorder the same domain name?

No. Our service accepts domain backorders on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Are there any guarantees of successfully catching a domain with a drop catch service?

Unfortunately, no. Competition among numerous drop catch services, the use of sophisticated automated systems, and factors like network latency and server response times introduce uncertainty. Your chances of acquiring the domain name are significantly improved by using one or more drop catching services compared to manual registration, but success is never guaranteed.

What domain names have you caught recently?

We don't publicise domain names caught using our service for privacy reasons.

What Nominet tag does your service use to catch domain names?

We catch domains using the tag SUBMERSIVE.
