29 registrars that send expired domains to GoDaddy – Domain Name Wire

Go to GoDaddy Auctions to buy domains expiring at these registrars.

Knowing where to go to acquire domains when they expire can be tricky. Most large registrars now send their inventory first to major auction services. If no one buys them, they then go to Pending Delete, at which point they can be acquired through dropcatching platforms.

In August 2025, I published a list of registrars that send their domains to NameJet/SnapNames. Below is a list of registrars that send their domains to GoDaddy Auctions. Please let me know if I made omissions.
