I have a lot of abandoned .com domains how can I make money on this?

nukem · May 5, 2023

Hi all! I have a list of abandoned domains that can be set to any A record, which means I can upload any site on my hosting. Domains of different ages, different remaining lifetimes, with a small 3-5% chance of failure. How can I make it easy to monetize them? I heard about the ability to take a copy of the old site through web.archive.org, but there are only screenshots of the site. Thank you.

Do you own all these domains? If yes, how many are they?

No, I'm not the owner. The owners are different and just abandoned these domains.

No. I just have a list of domains to which I can specify any DNS entry other than NS.
i can set any A record for list of domains.

Without registering them? You must have access to the registrar account they are registered to, how else can you possibly do this?

re-direct their traffic into CPA offers based on their site's niche

an important point - domains currently do not refer anywhere. they don't have a website, but some of them have a history, some are indexed in google.
as an option - they are trust domains for advertising in Google or Facebook for example. but it's a whole specialty that I can't dive into.

Same thing, different angle instead.
If it's a niche that you can't tap into via CPA.
Is it a niche someone else can tap into? Surely someone wants those juicy metrics.
Create a site based on that niche, sell guest posts on it instead.
Or offer them a 301 redirect for xxx monthly
refund the difference if it drops off early.

He doesn't need to renew them, they are already pointing to the server.
Let's say you buy a domain www.cooldomain.com , and host it on digital ocean, then you add that domain to your account (you can add any domain) and then you are told to change the DNS settings for you domain A records to point to DA servers IP.
All good - your domain is now pointing to your DA server IP.

A few months go by, the project doesn't work out and you cancel your server, but your domain is still pointing to that IP address, and remember that there's usually a single IP shared across a ton of users.
So our amigo has an account on one of these hosting providers and finds the domains that are pointing to the IP address that he has. He has no control over the domain, he only needs to add that domain to his account and since it already has the DNS settings pointing to that server - he 'kind of' controls it, hope it makes sense )

Not such but close. I can set any A record, bratishka, so i can use any hostings or vds/vps servers.

Hmm interesting, Do you mean to set any A record for the domain?

yes. i can set almost ANY record. txt, mail, A, AAAA, etc

If you're interested in using the old site's content, you can try using the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) to see if there are any archived versions of the site that have more than just screenshots.
Just:

Go to the web.archive.org website.
Enter the domain name of the abandoned website in the search bar.
Click on the "Save Page" button.
Web.archive.org will then create a copy of the abandoned website and store it in its archive.

Also, you can try listing them on domain marketplaces like Sedo or Flippa.

Nice, and how many are we talking about 100 or 10k?
If you are able to modify all the records email sending could be a good option, even if you use them for something else at the same time, if you'd like to do some sort of a JV on this one drop me a DM, I could set up the email sending campaigns and you'd have to set up the records.
