For a while now Pool.com has been backordering possible new TLDs for registrants. The company behind the new TLD backordering is called Quintaris. They are the front running company on the whole backordering going on and have been since Pool.com released the process to the public. As we all know that new TLDs will not be available at all until 2010. The company is also a consultant for people or companies that want to launch new TLDs when that time comes around.
To backorder the new domains cost nothing and there is no contract when doing so. The thing is that they are claiming that they are getting 10,000 new orders a day. This is pretty amazing since there is nothing to be bought or had at the current time. Nor does the backorder even gurantee that person will get that name when the new TLDs do come around.
The fishy thing about the whole thing is how many people are actually doing the backordering. As DomainNameWire.com has stated this figure is way more important than simply pointing out volumes of backorders. DomainNameWire.com had contacted Quintaris about this and they said they did not want to disclose this at the time but may do so in the future.
