Dropped & expired domains

Every domain has a lifecycle. When an owner does not renew, the domain enters a grace period, then redemption, and eventually gets deleted by the registry. At that point it becomes available for anyone to register at standard pricing — often for names that previously sold for hundreds or thousands.

For .com, .net, and .org domains, we pull recently deleted names from the DomainsDB.info API, which tracks zone file changes across major generic top-level domains. For .io, .ai, and .co, we maintain an extensive watchlist of over 2,000 premium word patterns and check them against the RDAP protocol hourly. When a previously registered domain drops off the registry, we surface it here within the next sync cycle.

We also generate brandable domain candidates using linguistic analysis and verify them via RDAP. Every name listed on this page has been confirmed available in real time — no stale data, no false positives. If you see it here, you can register it right now through our Dynadot partnership at competitive pricing.
