PendingDelete.net

PendingDelete.net is a free web app for finding expiring and deleted domain names before they are released. Every day it reads the registries' official zone files and shows which names are in redemption or pending delete, and exactly when each one drops, confirmed directly with the registry rather than estimated.

Search and sort the full drop list by extension, length, age, linking domains and Wayback Machine history to spot aged names with real backlinks and history. The homepage's Daily Traffic Picks highlight the strongest names each day. Run WHOIS and RDAP lookups on any domain, and save the names you want to a tracking list with a free account.

For people who prefer raw data, the Datasets page offers daily drop lists for 15 popular extensions, including .com, .net and .org, as CSV, TXT or JSON. The files need no signup, are rebuilt every ten minutes, and sit at fixed addresses your own scripts can read.

PendingDelete.net is built for domain investors, drop catchers, SEO professionals and anyone hunting for a name with history for a new project. It is run by Pending Delete LLC in Tampa, Florida.
