    Wouldn't that be nice if such list existed and constantly been updated as domains expire? Or is there one?

    I did create one (for personal use :) the trick is that when you call WHOIS information 10,000 times your IP gets blocked. So now I first check if www.DOMAIN exists, then if there is a NS records, a SOA record an if that still fails I will call for WHOIS information.

    I could put up a website that lists these domains? It's quiet a long list btw. A lot of domains that are 'on hold', 'pending_delete' etc.

    when I tried to (re-)capture a domain (lost one before -- forgot to renew it in time) I failed: some australian company beat me to it.

    thanks for some great info. if i were you, i'd probably put up a site with these names. i'd only include ones that have been deleted so that the list is not that long and is immediately usable.

    Actually expired: no domains. They are al (re)captured as soons as they are free.

    If you want to hijack a domain, you must know when it expires and then quickly claim it as yours and hope you were the first to do so.

    secureservers (Godaddy and alike) offer a sort of BackOrder system where you can buy domains that are not yet expired. As soon as they do, they will try to capture it for you. I tried that a couple of times (20$ (!)) but no luck so far.

    I *did* have a bookmark for a site that listed all the expired domains still in DMOZ.

    I tried to find it the other day but had no luck...

    I'll look again and see if I can't dig it out.

    Edit: Nope... Can't find it - Sorry :)

    If you look at the categories you'll see they're no longer listed. Don't be fooled by the outdated search database, give it a few days and it'll be updated also.
