LLL .com domains.
Domain investors looking for a chance to acquire DNZ.com might be disappointed: the youngest LLL .com in the world—including rogue states like North Korea, Belarus, and Russia—was NOT caught by DropCatch.
The domain DNZ.com dropped because its Ukrainian registrant failed to renew it, most likely as the result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The domain dropped at Net-Chinese, before being caught by a domain registrar specifically designed to acquire premium domain drops.
Which domain registrar caught DNZ.com at the drop?
According to WHOIS records, that’s Win Names LLC, a drop-catching registrar belonging to Web.com / Network Solutions. The domain was essentially picked up by a registrar primed to auction it off on SnapNames.
DNZ.com is currently in auction on SnapNames, with dozens of bids. Among them are bidders that backordered it via NameJet, as their “nj-” prefix shows. The current high bid already stands at $13,333 dollars but it’s expected to end considerably higher; the auction ends in 2 days and 22 hours from now.
The losing domain registrar, Net-Chinese, would not address our questions regarding why such a valuable domain asset was allowed to drop in the middle of a war zone in Ukraine; they simply confirmed that the domain was about to be deleted.
Update April 2, 2021: The domain DNZ.com was auctioned off at SnapNames, closing at $34,003 dollars.
