Book any .uk domain before it drops. If we don't catch it, you pay nothing. If we do, it's £35, and that includes the first year's Nominet registration.
Search for the name and book it. Your card is saved, but nothing is charged. When the domain drops, Drop Catcher and the independent drop catchers you have selected go for it. If we catch it, you pay £35. If we don't, you pay nothing.
If more than one person books the same name and we catch it, it goes to a private 72-hour auction between just those bookers, starting at £35. Nobody else can bid, and if you don't win, you pay nothing.
Find a domainIf you buy domains regularly, it can pay to become a Nominet drop catcher with a tag of your own. Your own names are chased free, and you earn from every other domain your tag catches. We'll explain what Nominet membership involves and help you get set up.
How to become a drop catcherConnect your tag to our hosted catching system. There's no software to run, no subscription and no setup fee. Book any domain you want and your own tag chases it, free of charge. If your tag catches it, it's yours and you pay us nothing. If you like, you can also let Drop Catcher and the other independent drop catchers chase it for you: then it's £35 only if one of them catches it.
Drop Catcher customers can have you chase their domains as an independent drop catcher. That can be a significant revenue stream: when more than one customer wants the same name, it goes to a private auction, so contested domains reach their market value.
When your tag catches a domain for a customer, you receive 75% of the fee after Nominet's registration cost: £23.33 on a standard £35 catch, and more when a name goes to auction. You can be paid monthly, on request, and we can show you every request your tag sent and which tag won each drop.

Caught: we register it in your name and charge £35. Booked by several people: a private auction between them. Not caught: you pay nothing.
