Frequently asked questions
- What is an expired domain?
- An expired domain is a name whose owner did not renew it. It moves through a grace and redemption period, then either drops back to open registration or is sold at auction, depending on the registry and registrar.
- Are expired domains worth buying?
- Some are. The good ones have a real buyer pool, a clean history and a liquid extension. Most do not, which is why research before bidding matters more than bidding speed.
- What should I check before bidding on a drop?
- Check the extension, the name quality, whether companies exist that would logically use it, whether the exact term is a registered trademark, and set a maximum bid before the auction gets emotional.
- How do I set a maximum bid?
- Work back from a conservative estimated retail range and the time you expect to hold the name, then subtract renewals and your required margin. The result — not the auction clock — is your ceiling.
