How to Find Expired Domain Names

Ready to get into domaining, or just looking for a better way to find the domain names?

There’s a site out there called Findeteer, that makes it very easy to find the right expired domains.

It’s a simple search box allowing you to put in a word and select if you want to see recently expired domains, about to expire domains, or both. Your search will probably return a LONG list of domains containing your chosen word, but you can filter the results by length or choose “exclude numbers,” which should help cut out the crap names.

Findeteer will list the domain name, expiration date, and quick links to check Whois data, indexed pages, and backlinks for the domain. If there was a PageRank checker too, it would be perfect.

Note: There is a PR checker at the bottom of the page, but if it was integrated, it would probably be much sweeter! But it would probably slow down page loads, which would suck!

The other link is to “buy now” which forwards you to what seems to be their sister site, Buyeteer. You could buy there or just go to your current registrar and get the name.

Overall I’d say this is a useful tool for domainers going after expired domains.

It could also help out if you can’t decide on the right domain name. Maybe someone else had a good one and let it expire, and you can find it there.

Update: Now that I think about it, what would make this site a lot better is if the site could read your mind and automatically narrow down the list of results to the ones that you would like! I’ll be looking for that in Web 3.0!
