Domains in DomCop can be found in Three different lists

1. Expiring Domains:
This is the list of all domains that are either Pending Delete, or in a Pre-Release state or are in an Auction.

2. Expired Domains:
This is the list of all domains that have just expired or the auctions have ended. DomCop continously works on this list to find available domains as soon as they drop.

3. Archived Domains:
This is the list of all available domains that have dropped in the last one year. In addition, we add between 10,000 to 50,000 available domains daily from our crawling service to this list.

Why do you have three different lists?
Short Answer: Speed
Long Answer: Based on our research we found that our customers look domains in three different states : Pending Delete, Just Expired and Available. To ensure that each search would get the best speed we decided to break out domain list into three lists corresponding to these three states.

If you are searching for the metrics on a specific domain follow the steps below.

Enter the domain name in the search box at the top right corner and press Enter or click the search icon. You can also search for partial domain names here

Single Domain Search

When you want more control over your searches you can use the Simple or the Advanced Search.

  • - Offer/Counter Offer: These are domains that the sellers have put up for sales, but at not obligated to sell

In order to conserve your device screen space, we only show some of the domain metrics in the domain table. However, if you want to see all the metrics or choose which metrics are important to you, you can Customize the Columns.
You can drag and drop the columns you want to see into the "Current Columns" section.

Customize Columns

You can monitor domains by adding them to your watchlist. To save a domain to your WatchList you can click on the or select it and click the "Add to watchlist" button.

These domains will show up in your watchlist and will be there as long as you want them

Reasons to use the watchlist:

  • - Quick access to domains you have bid on or interested in buying
  • - Domains that are no longer available (of after auction ends) are removed from the DomCop lists. Saving this to your watchlist means that these domains and their metrics are accessible by you

You can save your searches so that you do not need to change the search parameters more than once

To create a saved search, first execute a Simple or Advanced search within any of the three lists. Click the "Save Search" button. Enter a "Name" for the search and select whether you would like a daily email with a list of domains that match the search parameters. Saved searches show up in the drop down at the top of your page. To execute any Saved Search, you simply select it from the drop down.
