Does anybody know where I can get a database of all of the domain names that have expired or that are about to expire?
I've bought from this guy http://www.odditysoftware.com/page-domaindeliveryservice.htm But haven't gotten a domain related database yet. Seem like a good deal for $50 mo. thousands of daily drops in database format, and ftp access to them so you don't have to worry about the other guy getting his list email first.. If your looking for free just try a google search, I'm not sure what kind of quality you'll get though.
Creating a list of expired domains is no easy task. Because of this I doubt you'll find anyone just giving away such a database. However, there are many free services where you can view this information online: snapcheck.com pcnames.com justdropped.com
I'm a subscriber of Expireddomains.com. Expensive but their list is not accurate. Some domains shown as just expired despite already renewed/registered long time ago. I wrote to them about this but they were probably too busy to write a reply.
