What arrives

The report, not a dashboard

For domain buyers about to pay for an aftermarket name, we deliver a dated, sourced record of the domain's past, unlike a registrar listing or broker pitch that shows only the asking price.

  1. 01

    Enter the domain

    Type the name you are about to buy from Sedo, GoDaddy or a broker.

  2. 02

    Pay $9.99

    One payment, no account, no subscription.

  3. 03

    Read the record

    The report is built the moment you pay, and each finding shows its source and the date it was retrieved.

Who it is for

Built for one decision

Nobody browses this. People arrive with a question and a deadline.

Buyers of aftermarket names

A listing shows the asking price; this shows what the registry, the archive and the crawl have recorded about the name.

Investors, SEO buyers and small businesses

Check a name's past before a purchase or transfer, with dated sources you can compare against what the seller tells you.

The fair questions

Answered before you ask

Does this tell me the domain is fine to buy?

No. It is a dated record of what four public sources show, not a verdict on the purchase. You read the findings and decide.

Why not just look at the listing?

A listing or broker pitch shows the asking price and the seller's description. This report shows registry data, archive captures, crawl presence and Safe Browsing status, each with its source.

What if nothing comes back for my domain?

If the report returns no usable record, the full refund is issued automatically by the software. You do not need to ask for it.

Questions

Everything else

What is in the report?

Registry data from RDAP, captures from the Internet Archive Wayback CDX index, presence in the Common Crawl index, and Google Safe Browsing status. Every finding names its source and the date it was retrieved.

How long does it take?

Under a minute. The report is built when you ask for it, so the data is retrieved on the day you buy.

Do I need an account?

No. Enter the domain, pay $9.99 USD and the report is delivered. You will need the email you pay with if you want to retrieve it later.

How do I get a report I bought earlier?

Go to /recover and enter the email you paid with. Your earlier report is retrieved there.

When do I get a refund?

When the report comes back with no usable record for the domain. The software issues the full refund automatically at that moment.
