Domain Availability Alerts & Drop Monitoring

An availability alert watches a domain that is currently taken and notifies you the second the registry reports it as registerable. Domainyze reads the registry record over RDAP, tracks the domain through expiry, redemption and pending delete, predicts the release window from the registry's own drop schedule, then tightens its polling until status flips.

Availability watching is the part of Domainyze that is free forever, including the release alert itself, on 5 names checked every 12 hours. What paid plans add is the approach to the drop: Pro tightens to every 2 minutes and Business to every minute inside the release window, where Free holds at every 6 hours, and both add lead-time warnings before a predicted drop, larger watch lists (Pro 200, Business 500), CSV import and signed webhooks.

Usually weeks. Deletion at the registrar starts a roughly 75-day clock, and the final pending-delete stage lasts five days with a predictable release window. You are told at every transition, and once the domain enters pending delete you get a predicted release time drawn from that registry's published schedule.

No, and no honest service can. This is a detection tool, not a backorder or auction service. We alert you at the moment of release so you can register the name yourself at standard price with no broker fee. For heavily contested names a drop-catching service with registry connections will usually win; for the long tail, a fast alert is enough.

A backorder is an attempt to catch the name for you, priced accordingly, and it converts into an auction whenever someone else backordered the same domain. An alert simply tells you the truth at the moment it becomes true, and you register at the normal registration fee. Different tools for different names.

Accurate enough to plan around, and the page tells you which kind of estimate you are looking at. A window computed from a registry's published phase durations is arithmetic, not an observation, and it is labelled that way; a name we actually watched enter pending delete carries a stronger forecast and is the only kind that unlocks the tightest checking cadence. Where there is no expiry date and no observed entry, no date is shown at all and the page says why.

Yes. Paste or import a CSV of names, and each one is tracked independently with its own lifecycle state. Domainers typically run lists in the hundreds; the portfolio view sorts by predicted release time so the next opportunity is always at the top.

Any TLD that publishes public registry data over RDAP or WHOIS, which is nearly all of them. Drop schedules differ per registry, so .uk, .de and .io each run their own timetable and predicted release windows use each registry's published schedule rather than the ICANN gTLD default. Some registries have no pending-delete phase at all, and Domainyze does not invent one for them.

Delivery is immediate by email and signed webhook once a check sees the change, so the real question is how often the check runs. Inside a predicted release window that is every 2 minutes on Pro and every minute on Business. A webhook is what you want if you intend to register programmatically, since it removes the minutes an inbox costs you.

Yes. A watched name that is picked up by someone else raises a registered alert with the new registrar and creation date, so you can stop watching or decide whether to approach the new owner. If the name dropped and was taken before we could tell you, that is recorded as a missed drop rather than quietly dropped from the list.

Yes, and it is common. A name held by a company that may fold, or a domain parked for a decade, can sit on a watch list indefinitely at no cost. If it ever lapses, the lifecycle alerts start automatically.

No. We are a monitoring and intelligence platform, not a registrar. We alert you the second a domain becomes registerable so you can take it at your own registrar, at standard price. A signed webhook makes that step scriptable if you want to close the gap yourself.
