Solo domainer
Reviews the scored list each morning, keeps five rules running and sells through the marketplace.
How Domaining works, from the drop list to a sold name
Domaining works in four steps. You scan the daily list of expiring domains, read the value score on every name, backorder the names you want or let a rule do it, and sell what you hold through the marketplace, parking and escrow. All four steps live in one workspace on one subscription.
1. Scan the expiring domains list
Every day the list shows names in the last stages of their expiry cycle, with drop date, age, extension and status. You filter it the way you review names: by extension, length, dictionary words, hyphens, digits, age, category and score, and on Pro and higher you save the searches you run every morning.
- Filters for extension, length, words, hyphens, digits, age, drop date, score and category
- Saved searches on Pro and higher
- Watchlists for names you want to follow before they reach the list
2. Score every name before you spend
Each row carries a value score from 0 to 100 and an estimated value band. Open a row to see the drivers: length, dictionary words, extension weight, commercial category, brandability, hyphens and digits, and pronounceability. The score does not replace your judgement. It shortens the list you judge.
- Value score and value band labelled as an estimate
- Drivers shown for every score
- Bulk appraisal by CSV on Portfolio
3. Backorder a name or set a rule
Click Backorder on any row to place a backorder. For daily volume, write a rule once: backorder when the value score is at least 70, the price is at most $69, the extension is .com or .io and the length is at most 10. The rule runs on every new list and places backorders within your monthly limit and, on Portfolio, within the budget you set for that rule.
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Watching | The name is on your watchlist and no backorder is placed yet |
| Scheduled | Your backorder is placed for the expected drop date |
| Pending drop | The name is in pending delete and about to be released |
| In auction | Several members backordered the name and a private auction is open |
| Won | The name is registered to your account or you won the member auction |
| Lost | The name went elsewhere or another member won the auction |
| Released | The previous owner renewed or restored the name, so the backorder closes |
Your plan covers the service. When a backorder succeeds you pay the domain's registration fee, the price of the name itself. When several members backorder the same name, it goes to a private auction between them and the winner pays the closing bid.
4. Sell through the marketplace with escrow
List the names you win or already hold with a buy-now price or an offer form. Park them on a clean for-sale page, let buyer matching send you inbound wanted requests, and close every sale through escrow. On Portfolio a broker runs outbound campaigns for the names you choose.
- Marketplace listings with buy-now or offers
- Parking with a for-sale page for every name
- Escrow on every sale with no commission
- Buyer matching on Pro and higher, brokerage on Portfolio
