How the catch works

Good expired domains are taken within seconds of the drop. A backorder puts you in line before that moment comes.

  1. 01

    Find it on the board

    Sort by DR, referring domains, age or drop date. Check its history with the free tools linked on every list.

  2. 02

    Request a backorder

    Click Backorder, find the name in the backorder list and request it before the delete date. Works for .com, .net, .org, .co and more.

  3. 03

    Caught — or free

    If the domain is caught, you pay and it's yours. If not, you pay nothing — and the names nobody caught land on our free-to-register list.

What are SEO domains?

SEO domains are expired or expiring domain names that still have backlinks from other websites — earned by the site that used to live on them. Those links (and the trust that comes with them) are why people buy them: a new project on an SEO domain doesn't start from zero. Every name on our lists shows the numbers that matter for free: Ahrefs DR, Moz DA, Majestic TF, referring domains, archives and age.

Rebuild the site

Bring back a useful site on the same topic as before. The old links still fit, and visitors who follow them find what they expect.

Redirect to your site

301-redirect a closely related domain (an old brand, a competitor that closed) to the matching page on your own site.

Start a new brand

Launch a new project on a name with age and clean links — a head start over a brand-new registration.

Resell it

Good short or brandable names with history sell on the aftermarket. Auctions and closeouts are where you buy them cheap.

How to check an SEO domain before you buy

  1. History: open it in the Wayback Machine — a real past site in your niche beats a high number on a spam domain.
  2. Referring domains, not backlink totals: 50 real websites linking are worth more than 50,000 links from a handful.
  3. Anchor texts and language: casino, pharma or foreign-language spam anchors are a warning sign.
  4. Use it honestly: Google's spam policies target expired domains bought only to push unrelated, low-value content. Build something people want on the topic the links were earned for.

Questions before the drop

What is an expiring domain?

A registered domain whose owner did not renew it. After the grace and redemption periods the registry deletes it and it becomes available again — unless someone catches it with a backorder first.

Are the SEO metrics really free?

Yes. Every domain on the list shows Ahrefs DR, Moz DA and PA, Majestic TF and CF, backlinks, referring domains, Wayback snapshots and registration history — no account, no trial, no paywall. These numbers normally sit behind several paid subscriptions.

What are SEO domains?

Expired or expiring domain names that still have backlinks from other websites. People rebuild a site on the same topic, redirect a related name to their own site, start a new brand with a head start, or resell them. Our list shows DR, DA, TF and backlinks for every one, free.

Expiring or expired — what is the difference?

Expiring domains are still registered and will be deleted on the date shown: you can only backorder them. Expired (deleted) domains have already dropped and nobody caught them: you can register them right now at the normal price. Our "Available now" list shows only those, and every name on it is re-checked every hour.

Won't drop-catchers grab every good domain first?

The strongest names are fought over, and nobody can promise a catch. That is why you pay for a backorder only if the domain is caught. Many good names are missed by the big catchers every day — they end up in our "Available now" list, free to register.

What does a backorder cost?

Requesting it is free — you pay only if the domain is caught. The starting price is shown before you confirm; for a .com it is typically around $25.

When does an expired .com become available?

Usually after a grace period of up to 45 days, a 30-day redemption period and 5 days of pending delete. It is then deleted and can be registered again, often within minutes of the drop.

Do I need a credit card for the free hosting trial?

No. Every shared hosting plan starts with a 30-day free trial and no credit card is required — you only pay if you decide to keep the plan.

Are expired domains good for SEO?

They can be, when the backlinks are clean and relevant. Always check referring domains, anchor texts and the Wayback Machine history before you buy.
