Catch drops at registrar price
When a domain drops cleanly, anyone can register it at standard price (around $10 for .com). The same name on the aftermarket would cost hundreds or thousands.

FAQ
Common questions
Quick answers about when expiring domains drop and how to catch one.
How long after it expires does a .com domain drop?
How long after it expires does a .com domain drop?
Up to 80 days. The domain expiration timeline walks through each phase, and our guide shows which drop-catching services catch the most names.
Why drop watching pays off
Three phases worth knowing
Grace (renew normally), Redemption (renew with fee), Pending Delete (about to drop, can no longer be saved). Most domains move through all three over 60 to 65 days.
Estimates, not guarantees
Drop dates are estimates based on standard ICANN timing. Actual timing varies by registry, queue depth, and weekends. For high-stakes catches, layer a paid backorder service on top.
