Frequently Asked Questions

About pending delete.

Q.01 What does the pending delete age distribution reveal? +
The age of domains entering pending delete tells different stories. Older domains (10+ years) being deleted may signal business closures, brand changes, or portfolio cleanup. These often have established backlinks and search history. A high concentration of young domains (under 2 years) suggests speculative registrations that did not pay off. Comparing age distributions across TLDs reveals which markets have more speculative vs. committed registrants.
Q.02 What is the re-registration rate and what does it tell us? +
Re-registration rate measures how many of a day's pending delete domains are registered again within a follow-up window, typically 7 days. High rates (above 20%) suggest active drop-catching on high-value names, including short domains and keyword-rich names. The current value is shown in the "Re-registered" stat at the top of this page, and it is one of the sharpest signals in our broader domain name intelligence across the lifecycle.
Q.03 What happens to domains after they are deleted? +
Once the 5-day pending delete window closes, the domain is removed from the registry and becomes available for anyone to register. High-value domains, particularly short names and keyword-rich names, are often caught within minutes by automated systems. These re-registrations will appear in our newly registered domains tracking.
Q.04 How often is this page updated, and where can I see more drop data? +
Daily, once the latest .COM, .NET, and .ORG pending delete snapshots are processed. This page shows today's aggregate view across the three main gTLDs. For searchable and filterable lists across the full expired pool, continue on Expired Domain Search.
