Is there a tool out there...

[leegor]

Is there a tool out there that will show what domains have expired and are now available again? Ideally updated in real time. I see that there are lots of tools to indicate which domains are about to expire but if I don't want to spend $70 and backorder how can I find domains that can now be hand regged?

Thanks guys!

I've tried Justdropped and the search engine is very unreliable for your requests. I'll check out the others though.

Rep added.

Hi leegor, would you please elaborate? What did you find to be unreliable? Thanks!

It's two things Gene. The first is that there is no difference between the "contains some words" and "contains only words" check boxes. I just searched both using all TLD's over the past 24hrs at the results were the same for both; 15 dictionary words. Secondly I just did a strickly dot com search of dropped domains within the past hour and 362 results came back. All were beginning with the letters "g" and "s" only. What about the other 24 letters? I then searched dropped domains that begin with "w" using the same search criteria and 18 results came back. How can this be? There is a search result limit of 2000 which is understandable but I was well within the parametres and the 18 "w" domains should have been there in the original search. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, just time consuming, but since Justdropped is charging me by the search (500 for $10) I want reliability.
If I have to add a third issue it's speed. This experiment I just did took about 20mins to wait for about 10 pages with several "timed out" screens.

Hi leegor, I think you're getting reliable results, it's just that the 'window' of time you're searching with is very limiting. For example, doing a search for all expired's within the last hour may only yield domains that begin with a particular letter, because that's the chunk of the alphabet most recently processed in the last hour. Hope that makes sense. The result you got with the 'w' search that only yielded 18 results is likely due to the same reason.

Try the same searches with a 24 hour window.

As far as speed is concerned, I have not experienced any type of lag. All the searches I've done are very quick.

I don't have a lot of experience with this site, but those are just my observations.

Searching dot coms over 24hrs yields over 2000 results so it wont work for what I'm trying to say. I joined Justdropped because they advertised updates hourly. So I have to disagree with you Gene because after I searched "w" I went back to the original search and the results were still 362 with no "w" domains to be found. Therefore, sad to say, an unreliable search engine.

Fair enough. If you do discover a source with more accurate results on an hourly basis, please let me know. Thanks.

There are lots of website out there that randomly search dictionary domains to see if it's available.
If you are a register you can write your own program that will do the job, other register won't share that with you, unless you paid them or backorder with them.
