Common Questions & Answers
Find answers to your top questions about domain monitoring and expired domain investing.
What is domain lifecycle intelligence?
Knowing where a domain stands on its road from registration to expiry, grace, redemption, pending delete and release, and what that means for you. Domainyze reads registry, DNS and SSL data for every name you track, places it in a lifecycle stage, forecasts when an expiring name is likely to drop, and alerts you when anything changes.
Can I ask Claude or Cursor about my domains?
Yes. On Pro and Business, you connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code or another MCP-compatible assistant to your account with an OAuth sign-in. It can then answer questions like which names expire this quarter or when a watched name will drop, from your own watchlist and portfolio. On Business, the same data is available through the REST API.
Does Domainyze use AI to monitor domains?
No. Every check is a direct read of registry, DNS and SSL data, and every stage, forecast and alert follows fixed rules you can inspect. AI comes in at the other end: your own assistant reads those results and answers your questions about them.
Is my data secure and private?
Yes. We store only what we need to monitor your domains (domain names and your email for alerts). We do not sell your data. Monitoring is read-only, we never modify your domains or DNS.
Do you need access to my DNS or registrar?
No. We check public WHOIS, DNS, and availability data only. You do not need to connect your registrar or grant DNS access.
How often do you check my domains?
On a name you are waiting on, Free checks every 12 hours and Pro and Business check every 6 hours, tightening automatically as the name nears release and running as often as every minute in the window before an observed drop. On a name you already own we check steadily rather than escalating, because DNS, SSL and your renewal reminders catch a change there first.
Does Domainyze guarantee I'll get a dropping domain?
No. We are not a backorder registrar. We alert you the exact moment a domain becomes publicly available, so you can register it manually at normal retail cost without auction premiums.
How is this different from standard uptime monitoring?
Uptime monitors check if your server responds. They ignore the domain asset itself. If your registrar credit card fails, your domain drops silently. We monitor the domain lifecycle, not just server responses.
What are expired domains and why are they valuable?
Expired domains often retain previous SEO authority, backlinks, domain age, and indexed pages, which can save months of link-building. The key is verifying the link profile is clean before registering.
What is the difference between 'Redemption Period' and 'Pending Deletion'?
Redemption (usually 30 days), only the original owner can renew at a higher fee. Pending Deletion (usually 5 days), the domain is queued for release. After that it becomes publicly available.
Can I buy an expired domain immediately after it expires?
No. It must pass through redemption and pending deletion phases first. We alert you at that exact moment so you can register it at the standard price.
