Expired shopping domains

Expiring and recently dropped shopping domain names, best first: every name on our lists whose words are about shopping, with archive history, a spam check, a quality score and a buy link.

Who buys expired shopping domains

Online shops, deal sites and marketplace sellers. An expired name with real history can bring a head start: people already know it, and other sites may still link to it.

What makes a good shopping name

Short names that hint at what you sell, and names that work across .com, .co.uk and .shop. Sort by Best first (the default here) to see the names with the strongest history and cleanest spam check first, or use More filters to set a length, an extension or words to include.

Watch out: Avoid names close to a big retailer's brand, which can be taken from you in a domain dispute.

How names get on this list

We split every expiring name from the registries' own lists into dictionary words and give it a topic when its words belong to one. Names come only from registry data, never from other expired-domain sites. Before buying, follow our domain history checklist.

What the columns mean

• History: the year the Internet Archive first saw a website on the name, and how many years it was captured. This is website history, not registration age.
• Spam: our own 0 to 100 score from the archived URLs and history: gambling, adult, pharmacy, replica or loan pages, Chinese/Japanese keyword spam, mass-generated pages and long spells of redirects all raise it. Hover or tap the score for the reasons. It is an estimate, not Moz's Spam Score.
• Authority: the name's rank in Common Crawl's public web graph (lower is stronger), a free measure of how well linked it is across the web.
• Wiki: how many Wikipedia articles link to the name (English Wikipedia, plus the country's own edition for extensions such as .se, .it and .hu), from Wikipedia's own public data. Links from Wikipedia are a strong sign the old site was real and trusted. A dash means not checked yet.
• Old site topic: what the old website was about, worked out from the words in the addresses of its archived pages (such as /menu or /recipes), so you can find a name whose past matches your plans. Shown once the name's archive history has been checked.
• MM: the rank in the Majestic Million, Majestic's free daily list of the million sites with links from the most different networks (subnets). Any expiring name in it is rare and still well linked. Hover for its number of referring subnets; a dash means it is not in the list. Turn the column on in the Column manager.
• Old site: how many pages Common Crawl's recent crawls fetched on the name and the main language of their content. A name whose old pages are in a language that does not fit its extension often had spam on it. A dash means not checked yet; turn the column on in the Column manager.
• Words and topic: under each name, the dictionary words it splits into and its topic, so you can filter for keyword or brandable names. Pattern uses C for a consonant, V for a vowel and N for a number, so CVCV finds names like "bako".
• Other TLDs: how many of .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .io, .de and .info are already registered with the same name. Names taken in many extensions are usually valued keywords.
• DA, TF, DR: Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs metrics, shown where we have measured them. A dash means not measured, never zero.
