Why is my domain expiring or dropping?

It can come as a huge shock to find your domain name is about to “drop” on the public domain auctions. When this happens, you don’t only lose your domain name, but your website and email addresses stop working too. Not to mention, someone else can buy your domain and start trading on your online brand.

There are many reasons how and why your domain name has ended up being “dropped”, but for now, let’s concentrate on getting it back for you!

When Does Auction End?

Every day around 1500 Australian domain names drop on the public domain auctions. The countdown in the top left menu of this website always shows you how much time is left to bid on your domain name before it drops.

Domain Expiry Process explained

When your domain name expires, you will notice your website and email address no longer work. This also means your current Domain Registrar has let you down, and allowed your domain name to be deleted.

The only way to get your domain name back is to employ the services of a domain drop catcher, like us.

A drop catching service allows a person to lodge a pre-application for a domain name before it is due to drop, and then uses a special software program to ‘catch’ the domain name at the registry as soon as it drops. Without the necessary knowledge or technology it can be quite difficult for the general public to pick up these names.

Here at Oz Registry we ensure your domain name is recovered and placed back in your control.

Once we are successful in recovering your domain name, we also set your nameservers back to what they should be, meaning your website and email will instantly start working again. We will email you your new login details of where you can manage your domain name as soon as the domain auction ends.

We have successfully recently recovered the following domain names and websites:

How Do We Recover Your Domain Name?

We use drop catcher services to professionally recover and catch domain names every day for our customers. We’re confident we can recover your domain name against other people and your competitors from trying to register it when it becomes available on the public auction platforms.

How we recover your domain name – important steps:

The clock countdown in the top left of this website shows you how much time we have before the domain auction ends each day. If you don’t engage our services before the deadline, unfortunately we won’t be able to recover your domain.

You need to make your payment in full before we can perform the drop catcher services. If we are not successful in acquiring your domain name then you will be given credit in your Drop Catcher Services account to purchase alternate domain names in the future.

If someone outbids you for the domain name, we may try to phone you in the dying minutes of the auction, so please include your best phone number when filling out our form.

Your domain name is going through a “drop process” which means it recently expired, or someone complained to have your domain deleted, or you may have forgotten to pay the renewal on time, or your existing Domain Registrar may not have bothered to inform you to renew your domain name. Although there may be many bidders trying to acquire your domain name, we will be using advanced Drop Catcher Services software and we believe we have the best chance at winning your domain name back for you.

Once we are successful in recovering your domain name back for you, we complete a COR (Change of Registrant) to the ABN you provide. Your email and website will instantly start working again and you will have complete control and ownership of the domain within 48 hours, assuming you have paid for our services in full and we were successful in winning your domain at the Drop Catcher Auctions. We will email you your new login details to manage your domain name as soon as we can.
