Backordering is no longer an easy market to get into. Each millisecond counts as so may services are competing for the same high value domains. You need to have your servers "in the same building as the registrar" or the sorts.

This is why there are large competitors in the BO niche closing doors right now. Also competition for .com is insane right now, although there is still plenty of junk floating around that nobody needs.

It's an open possibility indeed.

At this time still considering things. There's no public version, nor there will be one unless we get the product packaging right (if there ever gets to be a public product). There are so many angles to look at it from and we're pretty much completely unsure on how to ever open this to public, if at all.

The system we have internally, already does this.

A (likely small) number of domains will probably be registered by us directly, as some users suggested above. Otherwise, 99.9% of domains will remain available for the quickest user to snatch. So it looks this can still be valuable to others. We also monitor uncommon TLD's , this is perhaps a niche we can be good into.

We considering adding a separate keyword generator platform, related (with free domains checker), with AI to generate the most valuable combinations. This is a marketable tool. We don't have it yet but it's no problem to build

Then a short, branded domains generator, again with free .com domains available to get right away (our system knows already which are available or not, or can determine that in a fraction of a second). The bulk of the work for this is pretty much done already.

One of the best ways would be to sell data via an API to other keyword generator sites. This can be our main asset. It is, in fact, a sort of bigdata service where domain availability tools are just one branch of data.

But for the expired domains data access side, it seems more difficult. Advertising seems the toughest part.

Been thinking of advertising it here in a paid post. But I don't see this as suitable for a WSO, or I might be wrong - but it doesn't seem to fit this advertising model. I'm looking at how WSO's look and it just doesn't look right there. A normal post would be deleted (maybe there's a paid option for it but I have no idea).

Anyway, at this time there is nothing to sell as the tool is for now and remains private. And unless we manage to package it correctly and get advertising right (reaching perhaps domainers with significant revenue), there's not much point in opening it to public because the best domains are quite high value and in such low number, that only a small number of users will be able to get any. Side note, due to the explosion of PBN's out there, only a very limited supply of good domains actually still get dropped. The supply is getting even more scarce with each day passing.

Best place to list it would be in forums and communities for SEO and stuff, but they tend to hate and block ad posts, even if it's a highly useful product.

Still scratching heads a bit, it's a mixed situation (both things that are clear and things that are very unclear at this stage). The safest bet right now seems, at this stage, to keep the tool private and use the data ourselves. But we'll see.

All comments and suggestions are considered, thanks!

I must say that you are wrong. I already have a collection of such domains, some quite valuable, and even sold some. Revived a few with decent authority and using them, but still have a long list to use next. Can get several a day.

On .com's, maybe, but I also have .coms and sold as well.

And if we talk about ccTLD's then I can confirm what you said is only valid in a few cases. Registered some valuable 3-digit ccTLD's for example. and still plenty expiring to choose from.

Be careful, your own beliefs might be limiting your choices.

Not if owner cancels domain, but if owner too late to renew in so many days,
domain will be placed for 60 redemption period days so no one but owner can
renew it but it comes with heavy $100 penalty price in addition to domain cost.

Good angle, but that is already in the process.

Changes for gold.com are very small, but you can still get gold.net or gold.biz and they still sell for a tidy sum, enough to make good profit even if you hold on them for years.

And you might ocassionally get goldminers.com ... or similar, and that will yield some $. However not everybody is looking for the same thing. Many are looking for authority domains, well, that's one side of operations where our tool is at its best.
