How ReCatch & Redomain interact
ReCatch and Redomain are two sides of the same cycle: Redomain takes in domains from holders who no longer need them – ReCatch passes exactly these domains on to new holders on the final day before the drop.
If a domain is sold during the monetization attempts, the cycle ends earlier. If nobody acquires it via ReCatch either, it can then drop as usual.
The previous holder's perspective
- Avoid costs: No further renewal fees for an unused domain.
- Hand over in an orderly way: Instead of quietly expiring, a defined process with clear rules.
- Chance of proceeds: 50 % profit share for general monetization or 15 € for a ReCatch sale – without guarantee.
- No right of return: After the handover, the domain no longer belongs to you.
The buyer's perspective
- Access before the drop: Selected domains from the Redomain process, before they become publicly available.
- Fixed price: Currently 25 € net, not an auction.
- A quick decision is required: First come, first served – the list usually appears on the day before the drop, at around 06:00 (CET).
- Checking remains mandatory: You still have to verify history, backlinks and trademark rights – see evaluating a domain.
Both paths run via the same platform: DomainCatcher.com handles account, purchase, submission and payment.
