The New Domain Hunter Gatherer Website Is Live​

New domaining resources, premium domains and 33% off DHG Pro​

The latest in a long run of major updates to Domain Hunter Gatherer has arrived.

This weekend I finally released the long-awaited new DHG website.

I know a website redesign may not sound like the most exciting update, but there are some genuinely useful additions included with it.

The New TLD Codex

Our new TLD Codex contains information covering domain extensions and TLDs from around the world.

It is a useful reference when researching extensions, checking registration requirements or looking for new domain opportunities.

Compare Domain Registrar Prices

The new domain registrar comparison tool makes it quick and easy to compare registration and renewal prices for your chosen TLD.

Registrar prices can vary considerably, especially when renewal time comes around. This gives you a simple way to check where the better deals are.

Premium Domains for Sale

For years, people have contacted us asking whether we find domains for other people or have any domains available for sale.

We now have a dedicated premium domains section.

The initial selection includes:

• Short domains, including domains as short as three characters
• Pure numeric domains
• SEO domains with established authority and backlinks
• Brandable and commercially useful names

We will be adding to the list regularly, so the available stock will change often. Transactions will be completed through Afternic to provide a safe process for both sides.


DHG Pro gives you access to our complete collection of domain research tools, including:

• Domain Auction Hunter
• Expired Domain Hunter tools
• Easy Expired Domains
• DomDetailer
• DomRecovery
• Plus the other tools and resources included with DHG Pro

The new website is only one part of the work currently underway. Development has already started on the next major updates to Domain Hunter Gatherer and DomDetailer.

Take a look around the new website and let me know what you think. If there is anything you would like to see added, post your suggestions in the thread.

The rebuilt Domain Hunter Gatherer website is here - first spotlight: the Registrar Finder​

I've rebuilt the DHG website to make the useful tools easier to find, faster to understand and more transparent about the data behind them.

There is a lot to show, so instead of squeezing every improvement into one update, I'm going to cover the main additions individually. The first is the new Registrar Finder.

Why I built it​

A low registration price does not always mean a domain will be inexpensive to own. Renewal and transfer pricing can change the picture considerably once you look beyond year one.

The Registrar Finder brings the main costs into one comparison so you can inspect the published registration, renewal and transfer rates, then compare the ownership path over 1-10 years before choosing where a domain should live.

There are three ways to use it:

• Single - compare one extension for registration or transfer and see how the cost develops over time.
• Basket - compare several extensions together, including the difference between keeping everything with one registrar and splitting the basket across providers.
• Exposure - paste in a portfolio to estimate annual renewal exposure, compare cost by extension and examine transfer break-even points. Your full domain list stays in your browser; only the extensions are used for the calculation.

The tool also shows source and freshness context for its pricing evidence. Promotional prices and affiliate relationships do not control the ordering. Registrar prices can change, so the final checkout price should always be confirmed with the registrar.

Open the free Registrar Finder >

You can also read what the comparison includes and how to interpret it.

Other improvements on the new website

The redesign goes well beyond this one tool. It also includes:

• A new TLD Intelligence Console for researching extensions.
• A clearer data-sources and technology section.
• A searchable expired-domain video library.
• A reworked Domain Auction Hunter section.
• Clearer navigation, pricing information and an expanded customer testimonials section.

I'll give those areas their own focused posts rather than burying them here.

For now, try the Registrar Finder with an extension or a small portfolio and let me know what you think. Feedback from BHW members has helped shape DHG for years, and it is always useful when deciding what to improve next.

Free tool: compare domain registration AND renewal costs before you buy

The cheapest domain in year one isn't necessarily the cheapest domain to keep.

I've added a registrar comparison tool to the DHG website so you can compare published prices for an extension without opening a load of registrar tabs.

It's free, requires no signup and has no usage limit. You don't need a DHG subscription.

Enter the extension you're interested in and compare registration, renewal and transfer prices, with estimated ownership costs from one to ten years.

A useful way to try it:

Start with an extension you already own. Look at the first-year comparison, then switch to five or ten years and see whether the cheapest option changes.

That gives you something more useful than an introductory price when you're choosing where to keep a domain for the longer term.

This compares registrar fees, not the auction or purchase price of an aftermarket domain. The multi-year totals use current published prices, rather than promising that renewal fees will stay unchanged. Check the registrar's current checkout price and conditions before ordering.

Compare domain registrar prices and renewal costs

Try it with the extension on your next renewal notice. You might decide your current registrar is already the right choice, but at least you'll have compared more than the first-year offer.

DHG Pro users: before you pay for another domain-finding tool, have a look at what's already included in your account.

Easy Expired Domains Pro is part of your package. Link the accounts and you've got browser-based domain research alongside the DHG desktop tools, with no separate EED subscription while your DHG Pro subscription is active.

Your next shortlist could start with two words.

Try a niche phrase in the AI Domain Suggester. Something like:


The important difference is what happens next. It searches real domains already in EED's inventory, rather than inventing a batch of names and leaving you to discover whether any of them can actually be bought.

You can look at the suggested names alongside their metrics, history signals, source and pricing information, then investigate the ones that fit your project. Treat it as a way to find candidates—not a reason to skip your usual checks.

Prefer getting stuck into the filters yourself? The main domain search is there too. Use the suggester for ideas, the search tools for a more hands-on hunt, or move between the two.

Here's how to activate your included EED Pro access.

In one of my recorded DHG hunts, I came back to roughly 90,000 expired domains with Wikipedia backlinks. There was no chance I was going through that lot one by one.

The tempting approach would be to sort by the biggest DA and start shopping. Instead, I used extension, name length and baseline metrics to bring the list down to 775 candidates before doing the more detailed research.

Here's the walkthrough:


The interesting part isn't just making the number smaller. It's deciding what deserves your attention afterwards: checking the topic behind the links, opening historical pages and looking at the backlinks themselves.

A Wikipedia link was the starting point for this hunt, not a reason to buy everything that turned up. Likewise, an impressive score earned a closer look rather than an automatic place in the basket.

This is where DHG's filtering becomes useful. You can collect broadly, then tighten the list around what you're actually trying to build instead of researching every result equally.

Open the full lesson and research checklist

This is a recorded hunt, not today's availability list. Use the process on fresh results rather than assuming the domains shown are still available.

Here's a domain cost I suspect quite a few people don't calculate properly...

The cost of keeping the portfolio they already own.

I've been expanding the registrar research section on the new Domain Hunter Gatherer website. It started as a simple way to compare an extension across registrars, but there are now three useful ways to look at the numbers:

SINGLE — compare one extension across registrars.

BASKET — compare several different extensions together.

EXPOSURE — paste in your actual portfolio and see what the extensions are costing to maintain.

That last one gets interesting if you've accumulated domains over the years.

Paste your domains in and the tool uses only their extensions to work out the published renewal exposure. Your actual domain names don't leave the browser.

So instead of asking:


you can ask:


There are currently pricing records covering thousands of extensions and over 100 providers, with the source and freshness of the pricing shown alongside the comparisons.

Try the portfolio exposure calculator here — it's free and needs no signup →

If you've got a pile of domains renewing across several TLDs, I'd be interested to hear whether the result comes out roughly where you expected it to.

Still running the same domain search on several different sites?

You can spend quite a while moving between auction sites, closeouts and expired-domain lists, repeating roughly the same search on each one. Easy Expired Domains brings those different sources together so you can spend more of that time looking at candidates, rather than finding the next place to search.

For example, suppose you're looking for a domain for a gardening site. Start with relevant keywords, exclude numbers and hyphens if they don't suit the project, then set your price ceiling and the metric filters you care about. You can compare the resulting auction, fixed-price and expired candidates without treating each marketplace as a separate research session. The purchase route still matters, of course: an auction bid isn't the same as a closeout purchase or a normal registration, so check the source and current status before committing.

Once you've put together a search that gives you useful results, save the filters and return to it for the next hunt. You still need to inspect the backlinks and history, but you don't have to keep rebuilding the initial shortlist from scratch.

This is already included with DHG Pro. It's another of my tools, and you can use the browser-based research alongside the desktop hunts without paying for a separate EED subscription while your Pro access is active. Have a look at Easy Expired Domains here, particularly if you've been using DHG Pro without trying this part of the package.

Have you tried starting a domain hunt from a website rather than a keyword?

A resource page, specialist directory or established site in your niche can give DHG somewhere useful to start. Instead of searching for names that contain a particular word, you're investigating the domains that those pages actually link to.

That's one of the ways to use Expired Domain Hunter. Give it a site to crawl and it follows the outbound links, collects the domains and checks their availability. For example, a woodworking club's resources section might lead you to old project sites or specialist suppliers that a keyword-only search wouldn't bring to your attention.

The appeal is that you have a reason to investigate a result beyond its name: you can go back to the linking page and see the context. I'd still check that the link is live, inspect the domain's history and confirm availability before registering anything, but you've got a useful starting point for that research.

Here's the recorded walkthrough of finding expired domains with authority links. Use it for the method, rather than treating the domains in the video as a current availability list:


This is a good complement to searching EED or other domain databases, particularly when you know your niche well enough to choose some worthwhile sites to investigate. See the different ways to run a hunt with DHG here, then try it with a site you already know.

Downloaded DHG but not got your first hunt going yet?

For anyone who's installed Domain Hunter Gatherer and then put off working through the settings, this is the video I'd start with. It's the full DHG v3 setup walkthrough, so you can follow the configuration on screen rather than trying to work everything out from the settings panel alone.


For a first run, I'd keep the job small enough that you can check what it's doing. Choose a niche you understand, start with a few relevant keywords or websites and look at the results before broadening the search. It's easier to spot an overly restrictive filter or an unhelpful starting point on a small job than after leaving a huge hunt running overnight.

There's no need to turn every setting up as far as it will go. Get a useful test run working, inspect a few candidates and then adjust the search around what you've learned. The aim is to build a process you can repeat, not just produce the largest possible list on the first attempt.

DHG Pro gives you the wider workflow as well as the desktop hunting tools: an included DomDetailer credit allocation for the metrics, Easy Expired Domains access for browser-based research and DomRecovery for archive recovery. They're there to help you move from finding candidates to investigating what you could actually do with them.
