Compare 13 listed routes for .net, including catch fees, auction rules and delivery conditions.

Confirmed routes13 4 public auction · 3 private · 1 no auction
These services offer a catch, queue or auction path for .net. They are not necessarily independent networks,
so check the custody and collision notes before placing duplicate orders.
Price & feesLive order price Funds must be available for the selected catch. Registration cost and the published marketplace commission are separate where an auction occurs.
Auction rulesPrivate auction for prior orders When more than one user ordered the name, the auction is limited to those backorder customers; NameSilo publishes a 20% commission plus registration cost.
Supported extensionsLive eligibility only Named examples from the public service pages, plus .ai early catches identified by the operator. The operator describes hundreds of extensions without publishing a complete list here; confirm other extensions in the live catalogue.

Price & feesFrom $25 Examples currently published include .com/.net/.org at $25, .io at $129 and .ai at $199 for two years.
Auction rulesPublic 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 extensions518 exact TLDs Combined and deduplicated from Catched's public country-code and general-TLD coverage tabs.
Low-cost standard drops and selected Dropzone extensions
Operated by GrepApps
Pending deleteEarly access not listed for .net
Price & feesStandard 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 rulesPublic 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 extensions63 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.
Resellers who value a fixed order slot without post-catch bidding
Pending deletePending-delete registration attempt
Price & feesFixed price shown in account The platform holds the order amount in advance and charges it only after a successful catch; subsequent renewals use the normal renewal tariff.
Auction rulesOne accepted customer · no auction Only one customer can hold a backorder for a specific name at a time.
Supported extensions300+ stated TLDs The provider states 300+ eligible TLDs and explicitly publishes .it among its ccTLD routes; exact per-name eligibility is checked in its search.
Pending deletePre-releaseNo public Dropzone tier map
Price & feesNo catch, no charge The current minimum, bid or pre-release amount is printed on the name; there is no safe universal fee for all inventory.
Auction rulesDaily public auctions Contested catches move to auction. Pre-release names are separate partner inventory and should not be mistaken for registry early access.
Supported extensions100+ stated TLDs The official site states 100+ TLDs but does not publish a stable complete extension file; use the live name search for exact eligibility.

Price & feesPrice 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 rulesBackorder auction on a tie A successful sole order receives the domain. Multiple backorders enter an auction restricted to eligible participants.
Supported extensions228 exact TLDs Read from the live extension selector; availability still depends on the individual name appearing in the backorder list.
Pending deleteNo public Identity Digital early-tier map
Price & feesChannel 1 from $65 The strongest channel currently starts at $65 for many TLDs and $180 for .ai; cheaper channels trade coverage and published success rate for price.
Auction rulesAuction on equal-price collision A sole successful order receives the name. GNAME confirms an auction when competing orders use the same price, but does not publish a stable participant-scope rule for every channel.
Supported extensions48 exact TLDs Exact strongest-channel coverage from the current order interface; lower-priced channels support smaller subsets.
Price & feesMinimum bid shown per name Placing a backorder is free; the listing shows the minimum acquisition bid and any auction exposure.
Auction rulesPrivate 3-day auction if contested For a caught backorder with multiple order holders, NameJet documents a private three-day auction restricted to those customers.
Supported extensions3 exact TLDs The FAQ explicitly documents the core .com/.net/.org pending-delete path. Current inventory can contain other partner extensions and must be searched live.
Price & feesMinimum bid shown per name Backorder placement is free; payment is due only if the name is acquired or an auction is won.
Auction rulesUsually 3-day auction if contested A sole order can be fulfilled directly. Multiple orders generally enter a three-day auction; the terms permit some inventory to be made public.
Supported extensions8 exact TLDs The public storefront explicitly exposes these pending-delete categories; live partner inventory can be broader.
A partner-expiry and pending-delete marketplace closely linked to NameJet's fulfilment network.
Managed & monitoring alternatives
useful routes · not equivalent to a direct drop catcher
These providers publicly accept .net requests, but expose either a consultant-led acquisition or periodic
availability monitoring. Their cards state the missing technical, refund and collision evidence explicitly.
Price & feesQuote required NeoWeb states that cost varies by extension and domain popularity and asks the customer to request a detailed quote.
Auction rulesNo public collision rule The public page does not say whether competing customers enter an auction, follow a queue or use an external platform.
Supported extensionsLive eligibility only The public page explicitly names .it, .com, .net and .org and says further extensions are available by live request.
Price & feesFrom €49 + VAT/year The annual monitoring fee is separate from the prepaid credit needed to cover registration if the name becomes available.
Auction rulesNo 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.
Supported extensionsLive eligibility only Shellrent says the annual monitor is compatible with all extensions and explicitly names .it, .com and .net in its public domain catalogue.
A paid availability monitor that automatically tries ordinary registration when a name becomes free; useful, but not documented as a precision NIC drop-time catcher.

These providers publish only a broad total or resolve eligibility in a private/live search without naming .net.
Domain.Guru will not turn “100+ TLDs” into an invented extension list.
Compare 13 listed services for .net: Catch.club, Catched, Docky, DomainNameAPI, DropCatch, Dynadot, ERANET, GNAME, NameJet, NeoWeb, Sav, Shellrent, SnapNames. Coverage comes from provider lists, named examples or an identified registry portfolio. Each card explains its basis; an extension listing does not guarantee eligibility for a particular domain. Unverified catalogues are listed separately.
Will a .net backorder go to auction?
4 confirmed service routes use a public auction, 3 use a private auction among eligible order holders, and 1 accept a no-auction route. The exact outcome depends on which service catches the name and whether another customer ordered it.
Does backordering guarantee a .net domain?
No. The current holder may renew, a registrar pre-release partner may sell it before the public drop, another catcher may win, or .net registry eligibility rules may prevent delivery.
Should I compare the .net renewal price before backordering?
Yes. A catch fee is only the acquisition cost. The winning registrar's renewal, transfer lock, account custody and auction fee can matter more over several years. Domain.Guru links the price board when a verified .net market exists.
