Common questions
Quick answers about how auctions work, when expired names drop, and how the major auction houses differ.
What are domain auctions?
What are domain auctions?
Bidding on a domain instead of paying a fixed price. Two flavors: expiring auctions, where the registrar puts a name on the block because the previous owner stopped paying, and voluntary auctions, where the owner picks bidding over a fixed sale. Highest bid at close wins.
Which auction marketplaces does DomainToolBelt cover?
Which auction marketplaces does DomainToolBelt cover?
Eight: GoDaddy, NameJet, NameSilo, Dynadot, Namecheap, Sedo, DropCatch, and SnapNames. Bid counts and prices refresh every 30 minutes. Recently ended auctions stick around for a few days so you can see what cleared.
Expiring auctions vs pre-release drops: what is the difference?
Expiring auctions vs pre-release drops: what is the difference?
Timing on the registration calendar. Expiring auctions run during the 30-day grace window where the original owner could theoretically still come back and renew (it rarely happens). Pre-release drops are later, after redemption closes, when the name is days away from going public again. GoDaddy and NameJet run the expiring kind. DropCatch and SnapNames run pre-release backorders.
When do expired .com domains drop?
When do expired .com domains drop?
About 75 days after expiration. The clock breaks down as 30 days of auto-renew grace, then 30 days of redemption period (the last window for the original owner to pay and recover the name), then roughly 14 days of pending delete before the registry releases it. Drops run daily at registrar-specific times. The /drops page tracks upcoming ones by date and TLD.
Which auction marketplace has the lowest fees?
Which auction marketplace has the lowest fees?
The winning bid is what you pay. The auction house takes its cut from the seller, not on top of your bid. Buyer extras are the small print: GoDaddy and NameJet charge no buyer premium; DropCatch and SnapNames bill a $59-79 backorder fee, but only if you actually win. Fee comparison matters more on the selling side, where Sedo and Afternic take different cuts on voluntary auctions.
