Dynadot Domain Marketplace

Dynadot's Domain Marketplace offers expired domain auctions where customers can bid on expired domains before they are deleted. Dynadot also offers domain backordering where customers can submit a backorder request for pending delete domains. When a customer puts in a request for a domain backorder Dynadot will attempt to catch the domain when it is released.

Dynadot customers can list their domains for sale on the Dynadot marketplace and when they are sold they receive payment in Dynadot account credit.
