Good Lard...$69 a year? $9.95 a month? You've gotta be kidding. Let's see...Even if we take the $69 a year cheapo, you may be waiting forever and a day for a domain with the company making a bundle by doing absolutely nothing. If anyone had half a brain (which I don't), they'd get in on this scam ASAP.
A simple php script would check for domain availability...
Expirefish has stopped functioning--but it still takes your money.
There are only three services that I've heard favorable reports about.
http://www.snapnames.com $69 (No gurantees. You can still pay if you lose but you can transfer you snap onto any name during the 1 year period your snap credit lasts.) http://www.namewinner.com $8.75 (It's an auction system though; your snap is publicly displayed and somone can outbid you for it. I've seen really good names go into the thousands. You only pay if the snap succeeds.) http://www.dropwizard.com $120 (Another payment after success service)
