Will they just notify me when I can register it or will they do that also automatically? This would mean I should be behind my computer even more :(
Snapnames will not guarantee that you will get the name. I have heard a lot of people who missed out using their service. Your 69 will stay in limbo until snapnames can grab another deleted domain for you. You might want to try expirefish for $10.
There are others out there. Snapnames does not have inside info from verisign. They are left out in the cold like all the rest.
