Shellrent says the annual monitor is compatible with all extensions and explicitly names .it, .com and .net in its public domain catalogue.
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 service is sold for a one-year monitoring term; review the checkout terms before purchase.
Delivery
If ordinary registration succeeds, the domain is registered in the customer's Shellrent account.
Cautions
- Do not compare its annual monitor fee directly with a success-only catcher fee.
- No public evidence establishes a dedicated 09:00/16:00 .it drop-time engine.

Price & fees From $25 Examples currently published include .com/.net/.org at $25, .io at $129 and .ai at $199 for two years.
Auction rules Public auction when orders collide A sole successful order is delivered at the backorder fee. Catched's terms say competing interest in the same caught name moves it into a public auction.
Supported extensions 518 exact TLDs Combined and deduplicated from Catched's public country-code and general-TLD coverage tabs.
How this service works
Broad international backorder coverage with public per-TLD pages and no charge when the catch fails.
Identity Digital pre-release and ordinary drop registration
Pre-releaseRegistry windowPending delete Identity Digital pre-release route
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

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.

Shellrent says the annual monitor is compatible with all extensions and explicitly names .it, .com and .net in its public domain catalogue.
What happens if several people backorder the same name at Shellrent?
No public collision rule. The page warns that other backorders or faster buyers can win, but it does not publish an internal auction or queue-allocation rule.
Does Shellrent support early access or pre-release names?
