Already inexpensive drop catching service to offer cut rate pricing as it boosts number of registrars.
Expired domain name backordering service Pheenix is offering a new tier of expired domain backorders at just $13.99 per domain.
The new “Super Saver” backorders are usurped by any standard Gold backorders. The Gold backorders cost a little bit more: currently they are $18.95 for .com/.net/.org, but they will rise to $21.99 on September 15.
Pheenix also announced that it has increased the number of registrar creds snagging domains for it by 500%.
The service is strictly an old-school pending delete dropcatcher. It does not have exclusive direct-transfer deals with registrars in which the expired domain service gets first dibs on any expiring domains.
While not a household name, Pheenix is used by a number of volume domainers.
They added 100 new registrars which will increase their operating cost significantly. Not sure how they can compete with the likes of Snapnames and Dropcatch but we will see… They are small and the others will likely bulk up their connections as well. This puts them back where they started with 100 additional registrars to maintain each month.
