In the interest of transparency, I would let the readers of this article know that I have an interest in the topic of the following article. Other than being a regular user of Recommission’s system, I am related to the Owner/Operator of the Site. He’s my brother.

Every morning, before I head off to work, I check Recommission’s Expired Domain List to see what is on the chopping block for that day. Recommission updates its expiring dictionary list every morning so there are always interesting domain names to find and if I’m quick I can backorder one before anyone else does.

I wrote an article before on using different systems to backorder domain names.  In this post I will focus on why I use Recommission to find and acquire expiring domains.

Find Expired Domain Names

I’m a big believer in picking up dropping domain names because domain names always seem to rise in value.

Expiring Dictionary word .com’s are always winners and Recommission makes finding those easy. Even if I can’t backorder from that system at least I know it’s dropping and I can jump over to another backordering system, like Pool, and backorder it there. When I use Pool though, I always make sure the domain name is worth the $60 backorder price tag.

Recommission also features a list of expiring three character domain names. These include three letter, three number and CCC (character character character) combinations. I love grabbing three character domain names. Check out 3character.com to see why it is a good idea to own 3 character domain names. Three character domain names in the .com and .net extensions are long gone and increasing in value every year. Right now is a great time to pick them up as they have declined in market value because of the current economic situation.

Recommission also lists expiring 4 letter .com domain names. Four letter .com domain names have all been registered as of November of 2007. With the climb in value of three letter .com domain names, some companies have focused on acquiring and developing four letter .com domain names. If you do decide to collect a few of these, avoid combinations that include the letters Q, X, Y, Z. These letters most difficult to use as acronyms.

I have looked at other sites on the web for a place that will show you Dictionary lists of expiring domain names but I have not found one as of yet besides Recommission. Every site I find concerning ordered lists of dropping domain names always charge to see their lists. Recommissions system is free to use as of the time this article was written and should remain so for quite awhile.
