C
A TLD on this list means the provider publishes a catch path for the extension. It does not guarantee that every expiring name is orderable or that registry eligibility rules are satisfied.
Before you place the order
the operational details that decide whether a catch survivesCancellation
The public deadline is 18:45 UTC on release day, 15 minutes before the 19:00 UTC CIRA TBR session.
Delivery
A sole catch is placed in the customer's account; a contested catch is delivered after the public auction and payment flow.
Cautions
- The CA$18.88 fee is the published backorder price, not a guarantee that CatchDrop wins the registry race.
- A collision becomes a public auction rather than a private contest among the original order holders.

Price & fees Shown per release Paid pre-release access and an ordinary registration attempt are different options. Check the selected option and total in your account; there is no single published backorder fee for the whole portfolio.
Auction rules Live release terms DomainCostClub does not publish a public customer-collision rule for this route. Read the name-level order terms before committing funds.
Supported extensions Identity Digital portfolio Extensions from Identity Digital's published portfolio. Check the individual domain in DomainCostClub: portfolio coverage does not mean every expiring name is available for pre-release.
How this service works
Backorders across the Identity Digital portfolio, with paid pre-release access for eligible names or a registration attempt when the name becomes publicly available.
A single registrar account plus selected registry-priority tiers
Registry windowPending delete Verified high-priority tier on eligible inventory
Price & fees Price shown per name Choose the standard backorder amount or, for eligible inventory, the optional higher-priced priority tier. The exact amount is displayed per domain before ordering; an early-access surcharge is not required for a standard drop attempt.
Auction rules Backorder auction on a tie A successful sole order receives the domain. Multiple backorders enter an auction restricted to eligible participants.
Supported extensions 228 exact TLDs Read from the live extension selector; availability still depends on the individual name appearing in the backorder list.
How this service works
Registrar-integrated backorders with a large live TLD selector, standard and high-priority paths, and delivery into a Dynadot account.
Low-cost standard drops and selected Dropzone extensions
Operated by GrepApps Pending deleteRegistry window Dropzone on 5 listed extensions
Price & fees Standard drops from $15 Standard .us, .at and .xyz are listed at $15; .com, .net and .org at $19. Registration is included and payment is due only after acquisition. Selected listings also offer Dropzone access: check the quoted tier rather than treating an early-access amount as the standard drop price. Premium names and auctions are priced separately.
Auction rules Public auction when orders collide Multiple orders on a successfully caught domain trigger an auction open to other bidders, not only the original customers. Equal maximum bids favor the earlier bid. Late bids normally extend the closing time.
Supported extensions 63 exact TLDs All 63 distinct extensions in the public pricing table. The live domain list shows a smaller subset; an extension's presence does not guarantee that a particular name can be ordered.
How this service works
A drop-catching service with a published 63-extension price list, payment after a successful acquisition and public auctions for competing orders.
FAQ
CatchDrop backorder questionsHow much does backordering with CatchDrop cost?
CA$18.88. Published successful-catch fee per domain, plus applicable tax. The public FAQ separately lists the ongoing .ca registration cost. A backorder is not a guaranteed acquisition, and a contested name can follow the service's auction rule: seven-day public auction on a tie.
Which TLDs does CatchDrop support?
The public source currently enumerates 1 supported extension. Domain.Guru reproduces that exact checked list below; individual-name eligibility and registry restrictions can still differ.
What happens if several people backorder the same name at CatchDrop?
Seven-day public auction on a tie. A sole successful order receives the name. If two or more customers ordered it, CatchDrop places the catch in a live seven-day public auction.
Does CatchDrop support early access or pre-release names?
CIRA TBR route—not pre-release. This is a weekly registry release session after the former holder's lifecycle, not an Identity Digital-style early tier or registrar pre-release sale.
