Never miss a domain drop.
Type a name you love. We read the registry and tell you exactly where it stands, when it will realistically come free, and the moment it does.
Where a name goes when it’s let go.
Almost none of this shows up in a registrar’s search box. We follow every step and show you the registry’s own words, with when we last checked.
- Day 0
Expiry
The term ends. For .com, .net and .org the registry auto-renews it on the spot — routine, not the owner renewing.
- Days 0–45
Grace
The owner can still renew. Many registrars auction expired names here, weeks before any drop.
- 30 days
Redemption
The registrar has deleted it. The old owner can still buy it back, at a premium.
- 5 days
Pending delete
Locked. Nobody can renew or restore it. The registry releases it on schedule.
- Release
Free
We confirm it twice, check the zone, then email you within minutes.
Our track record, in public.
Every drop window we give is a prediction. We score each one against the moment the registry actually let the name go.
We’re building this record in public, one drop at a time.
A percentage built on a handful of drops would flatter us, so the number appears once 25 drops have resolved. Until then, here’s exactly where it stands.
- Drops called and scored0 of 25
- Predictions in flight0
- Voided (owner renewed or restored)0
What we promise, and what we won’t.
We sell timing and the truth about where a name stands. Not miracles.
We will
- Show where every name stands in the registry’s own words, and when we last checked.
- Give you a drop window as a range with a confidence level — never a fake-precise date.
- Tell you when a name goes to auction, with the link, because most good names never reach a drop.
- Email you within minutes of a confirmed drop.
We won’t
- Pretend to out-catch the pros. Drop-catchers with hundreds of registrar connections win contested names in milliseconds.
- Call a name free because a lookup failed. Unknown says “checking”, never green.
- Guess. If the registry didn’t say it, neither do we.
Email only when something real happens.
Each alert fires once, from fresh registry data. Stale data never sets one off.

Locked for deletion — nobody can renew or restore it now. Expected release: Nov 3 – Nov 4 (high confidence).

Questions people ask.
Will NameHeart register the domain for me?
No. We tell you where it stands and when it will realistically be available; you register it at any registrar you like. For contested names, a backorder service is your best shot, and we tell you when it matters.
How accurate are the drop windows?
Once a name is pending delete, the registry’s schedule is fixed and our window is tight. Earlier, it depends on the registrar and whether the owner renews, so the window is wider and says so. Our scored record is public.
Why does an expired .com show an expiry date next year?
At expiry, the .com, .net and .org registries renew the name automatically and the registrar decides within 45 days whether to keep it. That new date doesn’t mean the owner renewed. We track the real expiry and tell you which is which.
What does “likely registrable” mean?
The registry has no record of the name and it’s gone from the zone. A few names are reserved or priced as registry premium, so confirm the price at your registrar before celebrating.
Which endings do you watch?
.com, .net and .org today. More are on the way.
Where does your data come from?
Directly from each registry’s RDAP service, the TLD’s own nameservers, and registrar auction listings. Every status links to the registry response behind it.
