.ac questions
Can anyone register a .ac domain?
None. Anyone, anywhere, can register a .ac name; no residency or business requirement.
What happens when a .ac domain expires?
DomCop polls the .ac registry directly and lists a name once its expiry date has passed, about 45 days before it drops.
How do I buy an expiring .ac domain?
Bid in the registrar auction where the name is listed (Namecheap, DynaDot, park.io), buy it at the fixed price when it has one, or place a backorder so a drop-catching service registers it for you the moment it drops. Every row on DomCop links to the listing and shows the metrics before you spend anything.
How often is the .ac list updated?
New listings and drop lists are loaded through the day and the metrics (Majestic, Moz, Ahrefs, Open PageRank, SEMrush and more) are fetched as each name arrives; availability is re-checked on a ladder after a listing ends.
How many .ac domains are expiring right now?
308 .ac names are in the list at the moment, 33 of them ending in the next 24 hours.
Every single day since 2014 I log onto DomCop.com and look for valuable expiring domain names. Literally. I've found so many great domains there that I've either put into my domain investing portfolio, built on and created a revenue generating site that I later sold, or used in my efforts to create other valuable websites. I cannot recommend this tool enough--it is robust and powerful, and I easily filter out the thousands of terrible expiring names to consistently find the diamonds.
