Gname is a ICANN accredited domain registrar based in Singapore, active since 2020, and targetting the Asian market, especially China. It’s known for dropcatching, domain sales and reselling tools.
Based in Singapore, Gname has become a key player in domain sniping since it scaled to more than 500 ICANN-accredited registrar “shells”, which lets it fire a very large number of registration attempts at the exact drop moment. It was already a SnapNames reseller and still is. On top of that, when we place backorders through Gname they also route them to DropCatch, so coverage effectively spans both SnapNames and DropCatch.
Beyond pure dropcatch, Gname also aggregates many of the main prerelease auction feeds directly on its platform, including Namecheap, NameBright, Dynadot, Openprovider, and Hostinger, while notably not including GoDaddy.
