ReCatch for domain investors
For domain investors, ReCatch is a sourcing channel with a calculable entry price: currently 25 € net per domain. Whether it becomes an investment is decided not by the purchase but by your thesis, your holding period and your exit path – profits are never guaranteed.
Acquisition thesis before the purchase
Formulate, for every domain, in one sentence why someone should buy it – and who. Without a target buyer (industry, company size, region), a purchase is a bet, not a thesis. Check the domain beforehand like any buyer would: evaluation guide.
Liquidity and holding period
Domains are illiquid: most portfolios sell only a small share of their names per year. Calculate realistically how long you can hold – and what it costs: renewal cost × holding period quickly exceeds the purchase price over long periods. Work this out with the portfolio cost calculator.
Pricing strategy and exit paths
- Domex: quick sale to other domainers at fixed prices between 9 and 99 € – suited for volume, not for premium prices.
- ODM: public sale with no price cap – suited for retail prices with a longer wait.
- Sales landing page: the domain itself as a showcase with a contact option.
- Direct outreach: actively and professionally contacting potential target buyers.
- Development: turn the domain into a project and build value through use.
A two-price strategy (Domex and ODM in parallel at different prices) is possible – details on the models: ReCatch vs. Domex and ODM.
Measuring your portfolio ratio honestly
Measure your actual sale ratio (domains sold ÷ domains held per year) and your cost per sale. These two figures decide the viability of your strategy – not the prettiest single sale. Annual portfolio hygiene is part of it.
Domain trading carries risk. Neither a low purchase price nor good metrics guarantee a sale or a profit.
