Thread: Where to Search for Expiring Domains

By putting some time and effort into your search, you can buy very nice domains for next to nothing after their previous owners have let them expire. These domains sometimes come with inbound links, PageRank, and even traffic.

Here are a few web sites which will help you to search for expiring domains

• Old Domains
• FreshDrop
• FreshDropped
• Expired Domain Up
• Just Dropped
• Dope Domains
• Register Compass
• Drop Day
• Premium Drops
• Go Drops
• Network Solutions
• Domain Superstar
• Domain Stryker

Which site do you use to find expiring domains and what do you like about it?

Thanks a lot, I mostly use JustDropped!
I found 3 great domains last week, bought them for 28.5$ in total (3 .com at Dynadot)
And sold 2 of them already for 175$ in total, now trying to sell the third one too

I have always used Expired Domain List & Buy Expired Domains Names its a great site

Is there a script to catch expiring domains that I can use?

You can setup a Dynadot account with API access (you need to fund your account with at least $500) and then develop or buy some ready script. (ready scripts cost around $100)

PemiumDrops is another website in this category.

Here's what they allow you to search:

• PendingDelete - Domains dropping within the next 5 days

• Redemption Period - Expired domain names dropping within 31 days.
• Registrar Hold - Expired domain names dropping within 37 to 82 days.
• Dropped - Domains which have at some point dropped and may still be available.
• Dropping Tomorrow - Domains which are scheduled to drop tomorrow.
• Unexpected Drops - Domains which have been force deleted (tasted, TMs, etc)

http://www.godrops.com is a nice one where you actually watch domains as they drop.
