NameNotifier tracks domains that leave registry zone files, scores them with Domain Quality Score, verifies lifecycle state with DNS and RDAP evidence, and alerts you when a domain matches your rules.
Free users can browse the graveyard, use public tools, and see limited previews. Exact high-DQS drops, catchable inventory, lifecycle intelligence, alert delivery, exports, and full dossier reasoning require a paid plan.
The main ingest runs daily after the registry zone files update. After ingest, NameNotifier verifies alert/watchlist candidates first, then continues RDAP and DNS verification work in the background.
DQS measures structural domain quality: length, TLD fit, dictionary/category strength, commercial phrase quality, pronounceability, brandability, and history. It also applies hard caps for numeric spam, hyphens, trademark-like terms, offensive language, and weak token matches.
No. DQS is a ranking and triage signal: is this domain worth inspecting? It is not a promise of resale value, auction outcome, buyer demand, traffic, backlinks, or trademark clearance.
The domain is not safely registerable. The previous owner may still restore it. Treat redemption rows as watchlist candidates, not available-now opportunities.
Pending delete is the final registry delete window. It usually means the release is close, but drop-catch services, registrar timing, and registry state still matter.
Catchable means the lifecycle layer has enough evidence to treat the domain as released or actionable. For valuable names, use a backorder/drop-catch service rather than assuming manual registration will win.
Yes. Watchlisted domains are prioritized for RDAP and DNS verification. Opening a dossier can also trigger a targeted live RDAP refresh when the result is authoritative enough to update the stored lifecycle evidence.
Alert rules match domains by TLD, length, keyword, negative keyword exclusions, minimum DQS, and lifecycle stage. The pipeline verifies high-impact alert candidates before sending notifications so stale or renewed names are suppressed where possible.
No. NameNotifier is the discovery, verification, and alert layer. You still register or backorder domains through registrars and drop-catch services.
Yes. API access is plan-gated and designed for structured integrations. Public tools and free previews are not intended as a bulk data substitute.
