Where do they go?: Expired domains

Where do they go?: Expired domains

Here’s a list of which expired domain services have exclusive deals for registrar inventory.

Picture of clock with words "expired domains"

Update: for the latest registrar/marketplace expired domain list, view this post.

One common question I get regarding expired domains is where to backorder them. Certain platforms have direct deals with registrars for their expired inventory. This means the inventory can be exclusively purchased at one expired domain service unless the domain goes all the way through deletion.

Here’s a list of platforms and where they get exclusive inventory from. This can change from time to time, so it’s wise to check the latest info if you’re viewing this post in the future. Also, please let me know which registrars I’ve missed.

For expired domain tips, tune into the Reglike Podcast starting next week for a two-episode discussion regarding expired domains.

GoDaddy: all GoDaddy brands (counting 123-Reg, Uni, Mesh Digital, Wild West Domains), Endurance brands that are now part of Newfold (counting BigRock, Domain.com, Fastdomain, PDR), some CentralNic brands (Key-Systems, Moniker, and perhaps more in the future), Enom/Tucows, GMO Internet, Name.com.

NameJet/SnapNames: Network Solutions, Register.com, Dreamscape, DNS Holdings, OnlineNic, SeaWasp (Fabulous), Ionos (fka 1&1, appears to get domains following they go through Sedo first)

Sedo: Ionos

Dynadot: Dynadot, PorkBun

The following registrars auction their own expired domains: Namecheap, Sav, NameSilo
