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:

  1. Analyze backlink profiles using multiple tools (Ahrefs, Majestic, Moz)
  2. Verify referring domains quality and relevance
  3. Check anchor text distribution for natural patterns
  4. Review historical content through Wayback Machine
  5. Verify indexation status with Google
  6. Check for manual penalties or algorithmic filters
  7. Analyze traffic history where available
  8. Review WHOIS history for suspicious ownership patterns
  9. Check for spam signals in link profiles
  10. 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.

Domain Transfer

How does the domain transfer process work?

After your purchase is complete, our domain transfer process follows these steps:

  1. We'll request your preferred registrar information
  2. Our team will initiate the transfer within 24 hours
  3. You'll receive transfer authorization emails from the registrar
  4. Follow the instructions in those emails to accept the transfer
  5. The domain will be moved to your account, typically within 5-7 business days
  6. 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.
