Get answers to common questions about expired domains and our services
General Questions
What are expired domains and why are they valuable?
Expired domains are web addresses that were previously registered but were not renewed by their owners. These domains are valuable because they often come with:
Established authority - They've already passed through Google's trust phase
Quality backlinks - Natural links from other websites that would take years to build
Domain age - Search engines generally favor older domains
Indexing status - They're already recognized and indexed by search engines
Using an expired domain with good metrics gives you a significant head start compared to starting with a fresh domain, potentially allowing your content to rank faster and more effectively.
How do you verify domain quality?
We use a comprehensive 20-point verification process to ensure each domain meets our quality standards:
Analyze backlink profiles using multiple tools (Ahrefs, Majestic, Moz)
Verify referring domains quality and relevance
Check anchor text distribution for natural patterns
Review historical content through Wayback Machine
Verify indexation status with Google
Check for manual penalties or algorithmic filters
Analyze traffic history where available
Review WHOIS history for suspicious ownership patterns
Check for spam signals in link profiles
Verify domain metrics (DA/PA, DR, TF/CF)
Only domains that pass all quality checks make it into our inventory, ensuring you're getting a clean domain with real SEO value.
What's the difference between your domains and those on other marketplaces?
Unlike many other marketplaces that list virtually any expired domain without thorough vetting, we take a curated approach:
Quality over quantity - We reject 95% of domains we analyze
Thorough verification - Each domain undergoes our 20-point quality check
No spam domains - We verify clean history and natural backlink profiles
Accurate metrics - We provide real data, not inflated numbers
Transfer support - We assist with the entire transfer process
Money-back guarantee - 30-day guarantee if you discover undisclosed issues
Our business model is built on providing genuine value rather than high-volume sales of low-quality domains.

After your purchase is complete, our domain transfer process follows these steps:
We'll request your preferred registrar information
Our team will initiate the transfer within 24 hours
You'll receive transfer authorization emails from the registrar
Follow the instructions in those emails to accept the transfer
The domain will be moved to your account, typically within 5-7 business days
We'll verify successful transfer and provide any additional support needed
Throughout this process, our support team is available to assist with any questions or issues that may arise.
How long does domain transfer take?
Domain transfers typically complete within 5-7 business days, but this timeframe can vary depending on several factors:
The domain registrar you're using
The domain extension (.com, .org, .net, etc.)
How quickly you approve the transfer request
Any verification processes required by ICANN
Some registrars process transfers more quickly than others. While we initiate the transfer within 24 hours of purchase, we cannot control the speed at which registrars process these requests.
Which registrar do you recommend for domain transfers?
We've found the following registrars to be reliable and user-friendly for domain transfers:
Namecheap - User-friendly interface, good customer support, competitive renewal rates
Google Domains - Simple management, free WHOIS privacy, reliable service
Cloudflare Registrar - At-cost pricing with no markup on renewals
GoDaddy - Widely used and compatible with most services
Dynadot - Clean interface and good support
That said, we can transfer domains to virtually any registrar of your choice. If you're unsure which to choose, our team is happy to provide recommendations based on your specific needs.
