Frequently Asked Questions

About redemption.

Q.01 What does redemption volume reveal about a TLD? +
The volume of domains entering redemption, and the proportion that get recovered vs. abandoned, reveals owner commitment for a TLD. TLDs where most domains pass through redemption to pending delete have a higher churn character. TLDs where domains are frequently recovered suggest registrants value those names enough to pay the premium redemption fee. This is one of the commitment signals we use to build broader domain name intelligence across the lifecycle.
Q.02 Why does the age of domains in redemption matter? +
Older domains in redemption are more likely to be valuable. Younger domains in redemption typically reflect speculative registrations being abandoned. Comparing age distributions between redemption and pending delete reveals which segments the market is willing to pay premium fees to keep. This is the last chance to get a valuable domain before it enters the dropcatch auctions.
Q.03 How does redemption fit between auction and pending delete? +
Redemption is the middle exit path. For most registrars, domains first go to auction (market chance). Unsold domains enter the 30-day redemption window (owner chance). Unclaimed domains move to pending delete (5-day countdown to deletion).
Q.04 How often is this page updated, and where can I see more redemption data? +
