Finding a valuable domain name takes time and effort, whether you're looking for expired or premium domains for your own projects or for resale.
There are many metrics to consider before deciding whether to acquire a domain:
- Age
- Meaning
- Length
- Backlink count
- Domain rating
- Extension
- Brandability
But that’s only half the challenge.
Why Traditional Domain Buying is a Nightmare
Domain auctions and drop platforms are full of headaches. Too much competition leads to bidding wars, often resulting in overpriced domains.
You also waste a lot of time:
- GoDaddy auctions last up to 10 days.
- Backorders don’t guarantee you’ll acquire the domain.
- Even if your bid is the highest, it can take weeks before you finally get the domain.
It’s frustrating, stressful, and inefficient.
I don’t have time for that—and I’m sure you don’t either. You just want to grab a great domain name today, with 100% certainty that it will be yours. Whether it’s for marketing, SEO, or a new product, you want it now, not in 10 days.
The Solution: Instantly Finding Available Expired Domains
One day, I saw a great domain on a well-known website and checked if it was available for registration. It was. I grabbed it.
That made me think—what if I could find all available domains from that site? What if I could automate this process?
For example, imagine finding expired domains from Forbes. A backlink from Forbes is incredibly valuable for SEO, but getting one naturally is almost impossible. However, if you acquire an expired domain that already has a Forbes backlink, you get the benefit instantly.
That’s how GoneDomains was born.

GoneDomains scans major websites like:
- ProductHunt
