Those registrars will work simultaneously on behalf of our customers, submitting multiple requests to increase the odds they'll get a particular domain name. Regland is also set to run registration using the servers of its network of registrars simultaneously, in the hopes of avoiding a system overload caused by too many customers filing requests. For speculators who hope to profit by hoarding valuable domains and reselling them, some registrars are offering bulk pre-registrations at a discount. Taking money for pre-registrations that can't be guaranteed would be misleading. If you're taking people's money, they're assuming they'll get something in return.
Some skeptics say the scam extends beyond the registration period.
