Abstract
A method for distributing a domain name to one of a plurality of registrars, in communication with a drop zone server, the method executing stored instructions by a computer processor to: recognize a delete command of the domain name; determine if the delete command is inside or outside of an Add Grace Period (AGP), the AGP defined as a period of time post registration of the domain name by a registrar; if the delete command is inside of the AGP, then send the domain name to the drop zone server in a path that bypasses a delete queue for subsequent purchase by said one of the plurality of registrars; or if the delete command is outside of the AGP, then send the domain to the delete queue.
