The most important questions about ReCatch and Redomain – answered briefly, with links to go deeper. Product information as of: 22 July 2026; in doubt, the current information on DomainCatcher.com applies.

What is ReCatch?

ReCatch is a feature of DomainCatcher.com: selected domains from the Redomain process can be acquired on the final day of their Redemption Grace Period – that is, before the public drop – at a fixed price of currently 25 € net. More: What is ReCatch?

What is Redomain?

Redomain is a feature of DomainCatcher.com for monetizing domains that are no longer needed: the previous holder irrevocably hands over the domain and retains a claim to a possible share of proceeds. More: What is Redomain?

Which domains appear in ReCatch?

Currently exclusively domains that were previously handed over via Redomain and are on the final day of their Redemption Grace Period. Not every RGP domain is a ReCatch domain.

Is ReCatch an auction?

No. ReCatch uses a fixed price; there is no bidding. Allocation follows first come, first served.

What does ReCatch cost?

The current starting price is 25 € net, including 3 months of registration fees, plus any applicable VAT. Further costs (renewal, checking, project) may apply – see ReCatch costs. The current price list in the DomainCatcher account is authoritative.

What does the previous holder receive?

For a successful ReCatch, currently a fixed share of 15 €. For a general Redomain monetization, currently 50 % profit share is provided – two separate situations, see proceeds and share.

Can I reserve a ReCatch domain?

No. There is no reservation and no reservation guarantee. Whoever completes the purchase first gets the domain – a domain may therefore already be taken.

Do I need a DomainCatcher account?

Yes. Purchase, payment and domain management take place exclusively through a user account on DomainCatcher.com.

When does the ReCatch list appear?

The ReCatch list is published üblicherweise am Vortag des Drops gegen 06:00 Uhr on DomainCatcher. The live status there is binding.

What does RGP mean?

RGP stands for Redemption Grace Period – the protection period after a domain is deleted or expires, during which third parties cannot register it. The duration depends on TLD and registry. More: RGP explained.

What is the difference from a backorder?

ReCatch takes over a domain before the public drop, at a fixed price and only from the Redomain process. A classic backorder tries to re-register at or after the drop – for all other expiring domains. Comparison: ReCatch vs. backorder.

Can I get a Redomain domain back?

No. The handover to Redomain is irrevocable. Once the process starts, the domain no longer belongs to the previous holder.

Do I need an auth code?

As a rule, yes – you get it from your current provider. If the domain is already in the DomainCatcher portfolio, the release in domain management is sufficient; for .de domains, the auth code can be entered directly in the Redomain process.

Is a share of proceeds guaranteed?

No. A share only arises if proceeds are actually achieved. There is no guarantee of sale and no guarantee of payout.

What happens if a domain is not sold?

If a Redomain domain is neither generally monetized nor acquired via ReCatch, it can ultimately drop as usual. In that case, no proceeds and no share arise; in any case, the domain no longer belongs to the previous holder.

Does the domain still belong to me after Redomain?

No. Your ownership ends when the Redomain process starts. Only the claim to a possible share of proceeds remains.

Are backlinks guaranteed after the purchase?

No. Backlinks can be devalued, removed, toxic or topically unsuitable – and search engines are not obliged to carry old signals over to a new project. Guide: checking backlinks.

Do I have to check trademark rights?

Yes. Trademark and name rights must be checked before registration and use – in doubt, with qualified legal advice. Start here: trademark check.

Where does the purchase take place?

Exclusively on DomainCatcher.com. deinrecatch.de explains and links, but does not carry out any domain transactions.
