Expired Domain Grabber Tools

Expired domain grabber tools were more popular in the past when the likelihood of an individual grabbing a domain name as it expires was quite high. This was before expired domain dropcatching services like NameJet, SnapNames and Pool came to the fore – the likelihood took a downturn especially recently when most registrars started sending most of their expired domains to auction at one of the above mentioned aftermarkets.

Enom domain grabber and Moniker domain grabber are tools that allow you to scan for domains as they expire and register them using the Enom and Moniker registration API.

If you have the computer and bandwidth resources, you can compete with the backorder companies in grabbing expired domains. Again you should note that a lot of registrars send their expiring domains to auction, rather then letting them expire directly.

As an alternative, I recommend you visit the DNXpert domain name forum where you can find lists of keyword-rich expired domains posted regularly. Additionally, you can list your domain names for sale and interact with other domainers.
