Drop is an auDA-accredited registrar focused on catching expiring .AU domains, publishing next-day drop lists and running daily auctions that close at 11:30 AEST/AEDT. The company has a agreement with auDA and is the only dropcatcher for .AU.
Founded in 2008 by George Pongas and Anthony Peake, later sold to Fabulous and acquired by Trellian (now Trillion) in 2017, it has caught over 100,000 domains. It also offers Dutch auctions, keyword-based alerts, and exportable lists with analytical data, which together with recent auDA policies sustains an active investor aftermarket at near-wholesale acquisition prices.
