<b>Where to point a backorder</b>

<b>Where to point a backorder</b>
Not all catchers are equal. The split we keep coming back to:

— <b>DropCatch / NameJet pool</b>: huge server count, but a catch often routes to a public auction if 2+ people want it.
— <b>Dynadot / Namecheap backorder</b>: cheaper, weaker servers, best for low-competition names nobody else clocked.
— <b>Registry-level (Pheenix, Park.io for ccTLDs)</b>: where the .io / .co specialists live.

📌 Pick of the day: for a name you think is truly off-radar, a single cheap backorder beats paying into a premium pool that triggers an auction.

Why it matters: paying DropCatch only to win a 12-bidder auction defeats the discount. Match the catcher to the demand.
