Why short names are valuable

Short names are easy to type, say and remember, and they look good on a logo, a van or a business card. Almost every short .com was registered long ago, so the best chance of getting one is when it expires and drops.

What to look for

Pronounceable names (try the CVCV and CVCVC patterns in More filters) are easier to build a brand on than random letters. Names that are taken in many other extensions are usually wanted by others too, so expect competition at the drop.

Names come only from the registries' own lists and zone files, never from other expired-domain sites.

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.

Before you buy

Look at the old captures, check the backlinks and search for trademarks before buying: our domain history checklist covers each step. Other lists: just dropped, caught domains, dropping in 24 hours, all expired domains, top picks, .uk drop list, .se drop list, .nu drop list, .hu drop list, .au drop list, .fr drop list, .it drop list.

Browse by topic: business, finance, health, tech, travel, food and drink, real estate, home and garden, shopping, fashion and beauty, car and motoring, education and training, legal, sports and fitness, pet, media and creative, local business.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a short expired domain?

Short names are popular, so a backorder with a drop-catching service before the drop gives you the best chance. Use the Get it button on the name for a partner registrar.

Are four-letter domains still available?

New ones rarely are, but four-letter names expire and drop every day. Set the maximum length to 4 in More filters to see only those.

Are short domains worth more?

Usually. Short names are easier to remember and type, and almost every short .com is taken, so short names in good extensions are in demand.
