Frequently Asked Questions
What is domain sniping?
Domain sniping happens when a registrar registers a domain you searched for before you can buy it, then resells it at a premium. It's a controversial practice that DomainSpy helps you detect.
How does DomainSpy detect suspicious registrations?
We record the exact time you submit a domain and monitor WHOIS data. If the domain gets registered within a short window after your search, we flag it and alert you immediately.
Which registrars are known for sniping?
Several large registrars have faced accusations over the years. DomainSpy doesn't name names — it gives you the data so you can draw your own conclusions.
