Frequently Asked Questions

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.
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.
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.
