Each day at 2pm EST, Verisign, the registry behind .com and .net, releases a list of domains that have been dropped by people and are now available to the general public. What we do is take this list and filter out all the domains that have already been registered.

You’re not the only one looking for a deal, so the better domains tend to get snapped up quickly. Our filter scans the list every few minutes to clear out domains that have already been registered, but there will inevitably be a few on the list that are no longer available but haven't been removed yet.

To give you the best chance of getting these domains before other people from other registrars, orders from Daily Drop skip the cart and go right to the order process. The idea is to get you from click to registration as quickly as possible.

Because they're all first-come-first-served, the best way to increase your odds is to be prepared. Be on the page right at 2pm EST, make sure you already have an account on Moniker with filled-out contact information, pre-add some funds to your account so you can skip the credit card transaction process, and be sure to do some finger stretches. Warmed-up fingers are scientifically proven to click faster.
