What this does

Dropping domains are premium domains that are expiring soon and may become available for backorder or direct purchase. Euphyr monitors dropping domains daily and surfaces the names with the widest footprint — the ones already registered on the most other extensions.

How to do it

1. Click "Dropping" in the left sidebar under the Explore section.
2. You'll see a table of dropping domains. The heading shows how many are available.
3. Use the search box next to the title to find a specific domain by name.
4. Click the filter icon to add a filter — pick from Domain, Age, Registered TLDs, Letters, Pattern, Drop date, Previously sold, In watchlist, or Backordered.
5. Each filter shows up as a pill — click "Clear" to remove all filters at once.
6. Click any column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse the order. By default the list is ordered by "Registered TLDs" — the names registered on the most extensions first.
7. Click the plus icon at the end of any row to save that domain to your watchlist. Rows already in your account show a check icon — clicking it opens the domain in your watchlist or portfolio in a new tab.

Common questions

How are dropping domains ranked?

By default the table is ordered by "Registered TLDs" — how many other extensions the name is already taken on — so the most widely-claimed names show first. A name registered on many extensions is a strong signal that the brand is in demand, which makes the version dropping here more likely to be worth catching. Click any other column header to re-sort.

What does the "Previously sold" column mean?

The Previously sold column tells you whether that exact domain has ever sold before, based on the sales Euphyr tracks. If it sold, the column shows the highest price it fetched — for example, $5,000. When a domain sold more than once, you'll see the top price plus a "+N more" note (like $5,000 +2 more); open the domain to see the full sale history. A dash (—) means there's no record of it ever selling.

To list only domains with a sale history, click the filter icon, pick "Previously sold", and choose "Yes" (or "No" for never-sold names). You can also sort by this column to put the highest past sales first.

What does the "Registered TLDs" column mean?

The Registered TLDs column shows how many other extensions that name is already taken on — for example, a 42 next to acme means acme is registered on 42 extensions (like .net, .org, .xyz, and so on). A higher number is a signal that the name is in demand: people have already claimed it widely, so the version dropping here is more likely to be worth catching. The number is colour-coded — red for a low count, amber in the middle, green once it's high. A dash (—) means the count hasn't finished loading yet; it fills in within a day of the domain appearing.

To find the most-claimed names, click the "Registered TLDs" column header to sort, or click the filter icon, pick "Registered TLDs", and set a minimum (for example, 30 to see only names registered on at least 30 extensions).

What does the "Sold elsewhere" column mean?

The "Sold elsewhere" column on the Dropping table tells you whether the same name has sold on a different extension — for example, whether acme.io sold when the name dropping here is acme.com. If it did, the column shows that sale's price and the extension it sold on. A dash (—) means no other extension of the name has a recorded sale. It's a demand signal: a name that already fetched money on another extension has proven buyer interest, even though the version dropping here hasn't sold itself. To order the table by it, click the "Sold elsewhere" column header. This is separate from "Previously sold", which is about the exact domain dropping, not other extensions.

What does the "Wayback age" column mean?

The "Wayback age" column shows how long the dropping domain has had a website saved in the public web archive. Each cell shows an age (for example, 12y) and a snapshot count (for example, · 64) — the age is how long ago the earliest archived copy was taken, and the count is how many archived copies exist. A long history with many snapshots points to a name that was a real, working site for years, which is a stronger catch than a name nobody ever built on. Hover the cell for the full count. Click the "Wayback age" column header to sort, putting the longest-archived names first. A dash (—) means the name has no saved website history, or the archive check hasn't finished yet.

How do filters work?

Click the filter icon next to the title. Pick a field (Domain, Age, Registered TLDs, Letters, Pattern, Drop date, Previously sold, In watchlist, or Backordered), then choose how to match (is, is exactly, contains, etc.) and a value. The table updates as you change filters. Click "Clear" to remove all filters at once.

What do the "In watchlist" and "Backordered" filters do?

The In watchlist filter narrows the table by whether a domain is already in your account. Pick "Yes" to see only domains you've already added to your watchlist or portfolio (the ones showing a check icon at the end of the row), or "No" to see only ones you haven't added yet.

The Backordered filter narrows the table by whether you've placed a backorder on the domain. Pick "Yes" to see only domains you've already backordered, or "No" to see the rest. This is a quick way to review what you've lined up for upcoming drops versus what you still need to act on.

How does the Drop date filter work?

The Drop date filter lets you narrow the table to a specific window. Click the filter icon, pick "Drop date", then click the date button — a calendar opens with two months side by side. Click your start date, then your end date to select a range. The table updates to only show domains dropping within that window. Both bounds are inclusive.

You can pick only one end if you want an open-ended range — for example, leave the end empty to see "everything dropping from May 25 onward". To clear the filter, remove it from the active filter pills.

For quick day-by-day browsing, the filter also offers shortcut buckets — "Today", "Tomorrow", "In 2 days", "In 3 days", and "In 4 days". Picking one of these saves to the page URL, so you can copy the link and share it with a teammate; opening it tomorrow still resolves to "today / tomorrow / etc. from then", not the date you originally picked.

How do the Letters and Pattern filters work?

The Letters filter narrows the table to domains of an exact letter count. Type 4 to see only four-letter domains, 5 for five-letter, and so on. This is the fastest way to scan the 3L / 4L / 5L premium-length buckets.

The Pattern filter narrows the table to domains with a specific consonant/vowel shape. Use C for any consonant and V for any vowel — for example, CVCV matches "moto" or "kaza" (soft and pronounceable), CVCC matches harder-ending shapes like "dant". Only the letters C and V are accepted; anything else is ignored.

You can combine both — Letters = 4 and Pattern = CVCV returns only four-letter pronounceable domains.

Why do some rows show "—" in a column?

A dash means that column's data hasn't finished loading yet — most often "Registered TLDs", "Wayback age", or "Age". The row still appears; the value fills in within a day or two as the daily checks catch up. New rows usually appear within a few minutes of the daily import; refresh the page to pick them up.

How often is the list updated?

The Dropping page is updated once daily. Check back the next day to see newly expiring domains.

What happens on a domain's drop day?

When the drop window closes for the day, the domain leaves the Dropping page — that's the moment registrars close their backorder queues, so seeing it on the list past that point would be misleading. The same domain becomes visible under Second Chance once we've confirmed whether anyone caught it. If you placed a backorder before the drop window closed, the registrar takes it from there; you can monitor the outcome from Second Chance or the domain's detail page.

Can I add a domain from the Dropping list to my watchlist?

Yes. Each row has a "Watchlist" button on the right. Click it and the domain is saved to your watchlist. If you already have that domain — either in your watchlist or your portfolio — the row shows "In watchlist" or "In portfolio" in place of the button, so you can't add the same domain twice.

When it doesn't work

• "No dropping domains right now" — The list updates once per day. If you see this, check back tomorrow.
• A filter shows no results — Click "Clear" to remove all filters and start over.
• List looks outdated — Refresh the page. If domains still look old, contact support.
