What is Domain Tasting ?

[ak47]

I just signed up for a domain account at dynadot and they say they offer domain tasting facilities to all users. What does that mean exactly ? Domains and Tasting just don't sound like they go together  ?

I am not sure, but it seems that you should pay for domain, then after some period you can refuse this domain and demand money back.

Yeah I figured this out yesterday, I realised that it's not available at all registrars but Dynadot lets you do it for free. Although they do limit it to a certain percentage every month so you can't do it willy nilly and of course you have to pay a little bit of a fine!

Domain tasting is the practice of purchasing numerous available domain name s and then exploiting a five-day grace period to determine which names would be profitable to own

Domain tasting is the practice of purchasing numerous available domain name s and then exploiting a five-day grace period to determine which names would be profitable to own. The usual intent is to resell domain names likely to command high prices, although there are a number of ways that domain tasters (sometimes called "domainers") make money from the practice.

Domain tasters make money from the practice in a number of ways besides selling profitable domain names. In some cases, they repeatedly register and unregister domain names, in effect obtaining the use of the name for free.

“Domain tasting” is the practice where ‘domainers’ or ‘domain registrars’ make use of the five-day ‘grace period’ to decide whether to keep the newly registered domain or to delete it and get a full refund (minus ICANN fees).

Domain tasting is the practice of temporarily registering a domain under the five-day Add Grace Period at the beginning of the registration of an ICANN-regulated second-level domain. During this period, a registration must be fully refunded by the domain name registry if cancelled.

According to wiki: Domain testing is one of the most widely practiced software testing techniques. It is a method of selecting a small number of test cases from a nearly infinite group of candidate test cases. Domain knowledge plays a very critical role while testing domain-specific work.
