Both of these are fine, I could log in to net/sol or any one of the
authorized ICANN sites for the same thing. :~)
I was wondering if there's an automated process that will run, say,
every day at a preset time, and then notify me if a domain has
returned to the pool? Otherwise, it's necessary to manually check
for availability daily to catch the domain(s) that has(ve)n't been
renewed, when net/sol finally gets around to releasing.
What do the rest of you guys do, when you have an eye on
a domain that appears abandoned? Manually check them? Daily?
Thanks,
tom
