Domain guides

Short, plain guides to expiring domains, drop-catching and domain marketplaces. Each one answers the question first, then shows the detail, with numbers from our own data that refresh through the day.

• Domain expiration timeline: from expiry to drop

  Every phase between expiry and the drop, how long each lasts and what you can still do in it.

• Drop-catching services: who catches expiring domains

  Catch share per service over the last 30 days, and how a backorder works from order to auction.

• Domain marketplaces compared

  How many names each marketplace lists, what they ask, how many cost $100 or less, and what sellers pay.
