We are in the process of building an in-house domain-finding tool to find auction/dropping domains for our clients.
Problem is we're having a hard time finding a vendor for the initial data, especially for extensions like .com/.org/.net. Obviously auction domains are easy as are most regional extensions because they have drop lists, or there are vendors that sell droplists. But for .com etc finding good data appears to be difficult.
We would prefer to analyse domains at the point they enter the redemption grace period as this would give us more time before they drop. However we are also open to analysing just pending delete domains in the five-day window.
It's important that we are able to find the drop date of the domain, or are at least able to approximate it to within a day or so, so that we know when we need to place a backorder to secure the domain.
We have investigated Whoisfreaks and found that it can be helpful but the drop date is not provided, and it's hard to estimate from the data they are providing.
Is there another service that would be a better fit for this?
