Read the droplist and drop times
Understand how Dropcatch.st lists upcoming drops and what the timestamps mean.
Step 1: Open the droplist or Dropping Now page on Dropcatch.st. Names are sorted by upcoming drop time and popularity signals.
Step 2: Read the drop timestamp carefully — times are shown in UTC unless the page notes otherwise. Convert to your local timezone when planning.
Step 3: Click a domain for detail. Review last-known WHOIS or status notes. Status can change if the owner renews.
Step 4: Add a watch if you want notifications when availability changes, or place a backorder immediately if you are ready to commit bids and wallet holds.
Step 5: Near drop time, refresh Dropping Now for the latest state. Do not assume a name is free until catch outcome is confirmed in your account or notifications.
Step 6: If a name disappears from the droplist, it may have been renewed or removed from the active pipeline. Search the domain again later or set a watch.
Drop catching is competitive. Multiple users may backorder the same name. Questions about a specific drop time? Open dot.st/support with the domain and screenshot of the droplist row.
