Expired domain finder + broken link checker

Lock on to expired domains with real backlinks

Give Domain Sniper one domain. It crawls the whole site, finds every link to a dead domain, and checks with the registry which ones you can register today.

Desktop tools make you do the heavy lifting

Domain Sniper moves the whole job into your browser and runs it in the cloud.

The old way

  • Install software on your own machine
  • Buy and manage proxy lists
  • Plug in your own API keys for metrics
  • Leave your laptop running until the crawl ends
  • Trust a dead link to mean a free domain

The Domain Sniper way

  • Runs in the cloud, nothing to install
  • Polite crawling built in, no proxies needed
  • Moz Domain Authority in one click, no Moz account needed
  • Crawls keep going with your laptop closed
  • Every Available domain confirmed with the registry itself

Four steps from seed to snipe

1

Enter a domain

Give us one domain. We start at its home page and sitemap. Include its subdomains, or stick to an old archive like /2015/.

2

We crawl

We visit every page up to your page cap, follow robots.txt and keep to a couple of requests at a time. You can close the tab and come back later.

3

We confirm

Every linked domain gets a DNS lookup. Any with no nameservers go to the registry's own RDAP server. Only names the registry has no record of get marked Available.

4

You snipe

Fetch Moz DA, check Google's index and the old Wayback snapshots, then export a CSV or head to your registrar.

Results you can actually trust

Every status shows when and how it was checked: DNS first, then the registry. Moz DA only loads when you click, so lookups go on the domains worth a closer look.

Everything you need to find the good ones

Whole-site crawl

Enter one domain. We crawl it from the home page and sitemap, subdomains too if you want them.

Source filters

Only collect links from the paths you care about, like old archive pages under /2015/.

Domain filters

Whitelist TLDs and keywords, so you only see names that fit your niche.

Moz DA on click

Fetch Moz Domain Authority for any available domain. Only the ones you click use a lookup.

Wayback snapshots

Jump straight to a domain's old snapshots to see what it used to be.

Index check

Run Google's site: search for a domain in one click and mark what you see.

Exports

Download a plain domain list or a CSV in one click.

Saved projects

Every crawl gets saved. Stop it any time, or run it again for fresh results.

Pick the crawl size that fits. Every plan includes the full check: DNS, then the registry.

Built for clean wins

Google's spam policies call out expired domain abuse: buying an old domain mainly to rank low value content. Domain Sniper is built for rebuilding relevant sites, reclaiming lost links and securing brand names.

Questions people ask

How do you know a domain is really available?

We look up its nameservers in DNS, then ask the registry's own RDAP server. We only mark a domain Available when it has no nameservers and the registry has no record of it. Every status shows when it was checked. Check the price at your own registrar before you buy.

Do I need proxies?

No. Domain Sniper crawls politely from its own server. It follows robots.txt and any crawl delay, and keeps to a couple of requests at a time per site.

Does it check if a domain is indexed in Google?

Yes, in one click. Google's site: search for the domain opens in a small window, and you mark what you see. Google doesn't let other sites check its results automatically or show them inside their pages.

Which domain extensions do you cover?

Any extension with a registry RDAP server in IANA's list. That includes .com, .net and .org. Where there isn't one, like .jp, the domain shows as Unknown so you can check it at a registrar.

Can it crawl sites built with JavaScript?

Not yet. Version 1 reads plain HTML, so links that only appear after JavaScript runs get missed.

Does it respect robots.txt?

Yes. We skip any page a site blocks in robots.txt. If the whole site is blocked, the crawl stops at the home page and tells you.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan covers 500 pages a month on 1 project, with CSV export.
