The domain name Aviator.gg recently expired and it was caught by Docky.ly where it is currently being auctioned.
This domain doesn't have a high resale value, but it's good for an end user.
The numeric domain name 44.co.uk has recently expired and dropped after 22 years.
It's currently being auctioned at DomainLore. Only one bid @ £2,500 with more than 2 days left.
Do Chinese buyers like .co.uk domains?
Sedo broker Dave Evanson confirmed the sale of the domain name MC.com for "approximately" $3,000,000. Sedo represented the buyer and Saw.com represented the seller.
That's a very rare and valuable two-letter domain name. Many big companies could use it.
The current registrant is based in Tokyo, Japan according to the WHOIS record.
NameNews.com would make a good domain name for an industry news blog. Maybe that's the plan of whoever just bought it for $6,433 from an expired domain auction at GoDaddy.
The domain name Twig.com has been mostly uselessly registered since 1993! The previous owner even insisted that this domain is NOT for sale!
Here's a screenshot from the site taken in 2020:
Well, looks like he (or another owner maybe) gave in eventually.
This domain has been sold for $695,000 at ApexMoon.com (X post).
Twig.com is now an agentic development environment.
Just because it's not for sale doesn't mean it's NOT for sale. Even if it's NOT for sale, it might still be for sale for the right price!!
It's not easy to sell a .gg domain name, unless it's a short one-word that's related to gaming. Clan.gg is a perfect example of such a name, and it's just sold for $15k at Afternic.
This domain was previously bought for $686 in 2022. It looks like that buyer let it expire because the current registration date in the WHOIS record is 27th September 2025.
Someone who apparently doesn't value a three-letter .com domain name just let AAE.com expire and drop. It was caught be DropCatch and it's currently at auction.
Don't bother, you can't afford it!!
Current bid is $45,000 with more than 3 days left. This may close in the low six-figure range.
I used both Namecheap's and Spaceship's cPanel shared hosting, and both worked well for simple (nothing heavy) websites.
Namecheap is still stuck in an age where they make you pay extra for a premium SSL certificate. You get 50 free PositiveSSL certs for the first year, then you pay a renewal fee for each one.
Spaceship offers both PositiveSSL and Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. I use the latter since it's free.
At least Namecheap doesn't charge you a renewal fee for email accounts like Spaceship does.
I noticed that my site hosted on Spaceship gets a lot more bot traffic than the one hosted on Namecheap's servers. This could just be a coincidence since bots randomly target any/all websites.
Overall, Spaceship's cPanel shared hosting is more affordable than Namecheap's if you consider the renewal fees of the plan + extras (SSL at Namecheap & email at Spaceship)
Pricing breakdown:
Renewal prices can be tricky to notice on their sites. They could be more straightforward about it.
Has anyone tried hosting a heavy site or app at either of these providers - like an eCommerce site? How did it go?
There are more than 30k registered .ninja domain names, but you can't see any of them!
According to nTLDStats, 18.8% of .ninja domains (or about 1 in 5) are registered at GoDaddy.
Why do ninjas like GoDaddy so much?
GoDaddy sells .ninja domains at $16 for registration and $48 for renewal. At Dynadot and Porkbun, it's about $5 for registration and $25 for renewal.
"Millions of German websites went dark, and apps stopped working on Tuesday night as Germany’s top-level domain (TLD) .de became unreachable."
The domain name Ninja.io has been sold for $95,000 at Atom. It was previously used for a multiplayer game and it has backlinks.
GoDaddy has a separate registrar called GoDaddy Corporate Domains - this targets large corporations and brands.
They offer "expert management" with additional services like domain blocking and recovery.
Prices aren't listed on their website, but if you're asking about the price, you probably can't afford it.
Here's an example of a domain name registered with GCD: "GoDaddy.sucks"
Do you know any companies that register their domains with GoDaddy Corporate Domains?
The .fi domain extension is Finland's ccTLD. Anyone can register a .fi domain name for a maximum period of 5 years.

| Registrar | Registration | Renewal |

Tucows OpenSRS is one of the largest domain reseller platforms that's used by many web hosting providers, agencies, and domainers.
GoDaddy's domain reseller program is used by smaller providers, especially those looking for a plug-and-play storefront.
Tucows OpenSRS also offers a storefront, but most of their resellers seem to prefer building their own using the API.
GoDaddy's reseller program includes email, website builder, and web hosting services.
Tucows OpenSRS also offers email and web hosting (this is still in beta).
Domain pricing depends on the plan. At Tucows OpenSRS, the price for a .com ranges from $11.50 to $14.50. At GoDaddy, it's $13.19 (Basic plan) or $11.59 (Pro plan)..
If your target audience is small businesses looking to buy a domain + website, GoDaddy is a better fit.
If you're just looking to sell domains, Tucows OpenSRS would probably be the better option.
Which would you choose?
The .store registry offers "premium" domain names with registration and renewal rates significantly higher than the regular rates for this TLD.
Here are some examples of registry premium .store domains:
All of these are available for registration at $2,500. The renewal price for each one is $10,000 per year. (note: these are the minimum prices - each registrar sets its own prices for premium domains)
Are these realistic prices for a TLD rarely used by actual websites? Why no one has yet purchased any of these or the many other one-word premium .store domains?
GoDaddy allows you to transfer expired domains to another registrar, except for some ccTLDs.
One help article on GoDaddy's website says "Many domains can be transferred up to approximately 40 days after expiring."
The "40 days" is usually the grace period during which the domain can be renewed at the standard renewal rate.
But another help article says something different..
>+18 days (after expiration date): The domain is no longer active in your account. You can attempt to recover the domain, with an additional redemption fee.
So, it seems that you can only transfer an expired domain from GoDaddy to another registrar up to 18 days after its expiration and before the domain gets removed from your account.
It's risky trying to transfer an expired domain because unexpected delays may cause the loss of the domain. Always better to do it at least 2 weeks before the expiration date.
The domain name Accessible.io has expired and it's currently at auction at the current registrar: Porkbun.
The current bid is $2,248 with about one day left.
That's a good domain name but the resale potential isn't very high IMO.
The 26-year-old domain name Reconnect.co.uk has expired and dropped. DomainLore caught it and it's currently at auction ending tomorrow.
I think this is a very "sociable" domain name.
These .cc domain names have been sold at GoDaddy in the past few days:
