Catch.club Official Thread

[Catch.club]

Hello NamePros community!

We are creating a single thread where we can share announcements, talk about product updates and people can ask questions!

We are fine-tuning the system this week, please feel free to check it out at www.catch.club

We are also adding a domain keyword / domain type monitor service, so you can get notification free of charge if there is any preferred domain in pending delete status.

https://catch.club/how-it-works

If you have any questions, please let us know!

Catch.club Team

P.s. At www.catch.club/auctions we list daily the English 1 word exact match .com and .net domains in pending delete status.

P.s. More TLDs are coming! -> https://catch.club/how-it-works

For example, I have just received a caught domain into my Namesilo account, but I received this domain 78 days after the registration, instead of the promised 66 days, so I lost 12 days. The domain was registered 78 days ago. Technically I could have received this domain 66-67 days after the registration date. There is the 60 day transfer lock from the date of registration (not from the auction end), and then it takes 5-7 days to transfer the domain into Namesilo.

I wanted to list this domain for sale, and I can't do until I have full control over the domain name. Because upon selling it I must transfer the full ownership to the buyer. The buyer needs full control over the domain name, not just the "remote management". I also need to set my own nameservers, but it is not possible with the "remote management". So I had to wait 78 days to use this domain, instead of the promised 66 days.

On a domain I wanted that has much value to me but little value to others, I went to sleep seeing no bids at all with about a day left before deletion. The next morning, hours after sending it to catch.club, there are 25+ bids on this domain on SN/NJ and I believe I just set myself up for a bidding war with others who likely would have never even been aware of this thing without me accidentally setting the throngs of backorder snatchers on it by accidentally listing it with catch.club.

Well, I'm not catchclub user, but this alone makes me wonder should I think about it at all! Is the club what NameSilo is exclusively busy with now? How about fixing general system bugs (=regressions), together with catchclub development, such as: 1) if you transfer a domain TO namesilo, and activate whois privacy at the time you request a transfer-in - the privacy would NOT be applied after successful transfer? Or, even though namesilo offers setup of CorrectCapitalization for domains listed on marketplace - the domains are still shown in lowercase. Capitalization is simply ignored. Not a single domain with configured capitalization is shown - both on forsale landing pages and the marketplace itself. I understand that the issues I mentioned are not exclusive to catchclub-powered domains, but posting it here as the main namesilo thread died long time ago...

Is catchclub still being worked on? It seems the front page is outdated "Find the domain name of your choice. Currently we support only .com"

I would also like to know all registrars being used so I don't compete with myself.

 

[King]

Also we are happy to announce that NameServer update feature is coming soon to Catch.club, meaning the limit of using DNS records to manage your domain will be removed in few weeks!

Has this been added? I successfully caught a name but I only see DNS no NS update, I need NS or at least a redirect option.

 

[King]

We work with all major and minor backorder platforms. If you place 80+ USD bid, we will submit your backorder with all of our partners, if you offer a lower amount, we will place the order with fewer platforms.

https://catch.club/how-it-works

Ok, I was more saying that the page was outdated, but yeah I asked to see all platforms so that I don't place a competing offer, I mainly use Sav though. Is that one of the platforms used? As most of my names are very niche, I don't want them to go to auction and get attention as 99% of domains I have caught thus far go to Sav, and 99% of those were no auction but if you guys place the order there too then it will go to auction.

I have a big list so they alert me of an upcoming backorder, then I know to monitor it more closely. Plus their win rate for my niches is pretty good only sometimes losing to Dropcatch/HugeDomains or snap.

 

[King]

If you are monitoring keywords probably our Domain Watch tool could be interesting for you as well.

You can use it free of charge at www.catch.club/account/watch, then if there is a domain matching your requirement we will send you the domain name list directly to your mailbox.

If you are happy with catch rate of SAV there is not much argument to use Catch.club at the moment as using our service is a balance of increased average catch rate VS the chance of increased average price.

Most of our customers value their time highly, and instead of spending hours daily placing backorders on different platforms manually, they just spend minutes placing orders with us.

And we also take over the task of keeping track where the domain is caught, then transfer the domain to your NameSilo account. So no matter where the domain is registered, the domain will be moved to your NameSilo account automatically.

Sav currently holds currently 1.26% of ICANN accredited registrars, so by using Catch.club you can dramatically increase the chance of getting your preferred domains.

So you can't say if you use Sav or not?

Hi! We are working on the NameServer update option. In the meantime you can reach out to our support and we will manually change the caught domains' nameservers.

I sent a message yesterday in chat and they told me to email but still nothing, no response or NS change. This is one of the main reasons this seems less attractive of an option to me as the current DNS settings are of no use to me. As you say your clients value their time highly, that includes me, so having to jump in to message you guys to change the nameservers is not a good use of time. Additionally the longer it takes to get these domains pointing to where they need to be pointing the less value is extracted from them, especially after a drop where traffic is slightly higher. I need a URL redirect option or at least those custom nameservers and be able to set that as default. I will be attempting other domains here shortly but I can't keep relying on Namesilo support to change nameservers for me every time so please do get those features out soon!

 

[Catch.club]

We are happy to share that auction prices can be followed now on one single dashboard at Catch.club, so no matter where the auction is happening, you can keep track the prices.

Once a domain auction started just go to

https://catch.club/account/approved

then you will be able to see the
- domain name
- time left to bid
- winning bid
- your proxy bid
- winning/losing status

on one single dashboard, no matter which platform caught and listed the domain for auction.

Let us know what you would like to add next!

Have a great weekend!

[Catch.club]

We are happy to share that our bulk backorder tool is ready!

Just visit https://catch.club/account/place_pendingdelete and type in your offer in this format:

domain.com,79

You can backorder up to 500 domains in one step using this tool!

If you want to lose domain names, you can use Catch.club.
Catch.club may remove domain names that you have successfully pre-ordered and that have been caught and auctioned by their partners from your account before the end of the auction period!

I learned by experience today that Catch.Club is a ridiculous platform!

As usual, Catch Club failed to catch the domains I pre-ordered, and the domains were caught by their partners and put up for auction.
In total, 6 domains were removed from my account and there were still 24 to 40 hours before the auction period expired.

While the auction is still running, I ask why the domain names have been removed from my account?... They say that you did not increase the bid, so it was removed.
The highest bid was already mine from the very beginning and when I checked a few hours ago, I say the highest bid was still mine...
"Someone else made a higher bid than you"; It says "The domains were therefore removed from your account".
I said that this was an auction for a dropped domain name so there was no reserve price and therefore it was not possible for me to have lost the auction before it was over.
“Yes, there is no correct reserve price,” he says.
Then I ask how the 6 domains whose auction is still going on are being deleted from my account.
They continue to say the same sentences again and again.

The auction is still going on, I can see the auction on the other platform and I say my bid is still the highest bidder.
“They bid high on another platform,” he says.
I'm saying this is an auction and someone else can always bid higher than the current bid until the auction expires.
Again, they say "your offer was low, we removed it".

I say, "Well, why didn't you remove the domain name whose auction will end in 8 hours?"
They say "if you don't make an offer, we will remove it".
I haven't made any offers since the pre-order anyway...
I say, "The domain already has an offer amount that is 10 times more than my pre-order offer."
"Well, why didn't you remove this; you removed it even though other domain names had "Winning" status" I say.
They can't answer!

!!

Other nonsense!

Even if you lose the domain name auction, they keep it in the "Approved" section until you write to the support (5 days).
They will delete domains from your account whose domain name auction period has not expired.

They do not show instant offers made on other platforms.
If you see it as "Winning" when the auction is over, you can't count on it.
Because..
There were 7 minutes until the domain name auction ended, and every second I checked, I had the highest bid amount and was the winner.
But I lost the domain name.
I write to support, they do not respond for days.
When you insist on the subject; someone else made a high bid; but not reflected on the site; They say they are looking for a way to attract offers from other platforms to the site.

Even if you explain each problem separately to the support unit in a single e-mail, they only answer one of them.
Then you have to ask the other problems over and over again.

 

[Pluto]

If there are 2 or more Catch.club users who create a backorder on Catch.club for the same domain, then only 1 Catch.club user (the one with the highest bid) can create the backorder successfully, the other Catch.club users will miss that domain.

Let's say the domain name example.com is expiring and you submit a backorder with $100 proxy bid. But then I submit another backorder using Catch.club for the same example.com domain with $110 proxy bid, then only I will participate in the domain auction and you will miss this domain through Catch.club.

Once the domain is in auction, then use the platform of the dropcatching company which caught the domain to monitor the auction and don't monitor it on Catch.club.

You completely misunderstood the issue.

The subject does not mention the auction situation of Catch.club during the backorder.
There is talk of Approved Bacorders.

For example, you created a backorder for example.com and the domain name appears in the "Approved" section.
The domain name was dropped and one of the partners of the Catch.Club caught it.
However, they put the domain name up for auction.
And your proxy offer is the only one that has won from the very beginning.
You can check and watch this from the "Approved Backorders" tab.
You have 24 hours until your auction ends; but Catch.club directly says you lost the auction.

 

[Pluto]

You are the one who doesn't understand it.

The support has already answered your question:



it means that someone else had made a higher bid than you on Catch.club, so you couldn't submit your backorder via Catch.club.

This is not the same auction as the Dropcatch.com auction.

First there is a pre-auction on Catch.club. Looks like another Catch.club user had outbid you, so you lost this pre-auction on Catch.club. And now there is a second auction on Dropcatch, but now you cannot participate in that auction via Catch.club.

What you don't understand is that there are 2 auctions: the first auction is on Catch.club, then the second auction is on the dropcatching platform, in this case on Dropcatch.com.


You lost the first auction on Catch.club, so now you cannot participate in the second auction via Catch.club. Therefore this domain was removed from your Catch.club account. This is the expected behavior. There is no bug here.

It's not about multiple people bidding during the catch.club pre-order and therefore the domain name being auctioned off.
If more than one person bids at the time of pre-order, the domain is auctioned.
This is a different matter.
I was the only bidder for domains already on Catch.Club and pre-orders had already been successfully created.

If you win the pre-order, the domains will appear in the "Approved Backorders" section.
And your offer is sent to all partners of Catch.club.

If the company that catch the domain name is one of the partners of Catch.club and puts this domain name up for auction; Catch.club will notify you of this and you can participate in the auction via Catch.club.

6 successful domain name backorders were catch up by catch.club's partners.
However, domain names were catch by partners (DropCaths SnapNames etc.) and put up for auction.

No need to log into DropCatch to participate in the auction.
You can already participate in this auction via Catch.Club.
I was already winning the auctions and there were between 24 and 40 hours before the auctions ended.
Although the auction period is not over, Catch.Club says the auction is over and you lost the auction.
That's the problem.

 

[Pluto]

It works for me, maybe you have an issue directly with the catch.club website, try to clear your browser cache and cookies, and / or try a different web browser. Use the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc.

It has nothing to do with browsers.
Because they also sent an e-mail saying that I lost the auction.
But as I said; The auctions hadn't expired and I can't be losing because they haven't.
Auctions are still going on; but they removed it by saying "Lost" on my account.
I can't show the evidence as I can't attach pictures.

 

[Catch.club]

We have addressed the issue regarding the domains which did not show the auction details. Thank you for reporting the problem! @Pluto

 

[Catch.club]

We are happy to share that paying for backorders with Bitcoin is supported at Catch.club!

Uhm there are a lot of irrelevant info about domains on your service, many are not expired at all, just check it for yourself, check 4 letter domains for example, all of so-called ’available LLLL list' I got from your email after setting up an alert are already registered! It's just nonsense, I'm sorry, waste of time.

Hi,

We have 2 types of Available domains.

1: pending delete
2: expired

We are marking the domain type clearly on our user interface, and you can also use the Refine Search filter on the left side to unselect the expired domains if you wish to do so.

If you give us a domain as an example, we can help you to double-check if the domain is expired or pending delete.

Thank you!

Jesus... sure! I wonder why don't you believe me in the first place.
Here is the list of 20 4-letter domains that are 'available to backorder', I've got this on my email (check screenshot in attachment too):

Spoiler: domains list

tmly.com
vzog.com
boqp.com
fwbm.com
gjdz.com
hbfj.com
hzsf.com
jyjd.com
mfqy.com
uvcp.com
xlsc.com
bkkr.com
jwxb.com
rkgr.com
wkpr.com
eyqp.com
uavc.com
cxvu.com
fbmh.com
fbyg.com

Now kindly please bulk check expiry date of those domains at domainschimp.com for example, you'll notice that 'pendingDelete' status have got only one (!) domain from your list, most are in use.
Just fix the damn thing, happy Halloween!
