How do I list my domain in Dynadot’s Pre-Expiry Auctions?

Updated: 2026/06/16Viewed times: 9

You can now auction your domains with our new Pre-Expiry Auctions feature! Listing your domain is simple, just follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Unlock your account if you haven't already.
  3. Go to My Domains - Manage Domains from the left-side menu.
  4. Click the Pre-Expiry Auction button on the top .
  5. On this page, you'll see domains that are eligible to be listed (or listed later if they're not eligible yet).
  6. In the Actions column, click List, then confirm by clicking Save Settings to start the auction.
    • If the List button inactive, the domain is not yet eligible.

Listing Options:

  • Unlist: Remove a domain from Pre-Expiry Auctions. This option is not available if a bid has already been received.
  • Auto List: If enabled, the domain will be automatically listed in the next eligible Pre-Expiry Auction.
  • Auto relist: If enabled, the domain will be automatically relisted for the next auction cycle.


NOTE:
  • Supported TLDs: currently only .AI (more ccTLDs coming soon).
  • You can list your domain anytime 40 to 5 days before expiration.
  • Auctions begin immediately once you click List and save settings. You can cancel the auction at any time before a bid is placed.
  • Once listed, the auction begins immediately. Your domain cannot be unlocked, deleted, moved to another Dynadot account, or transferred to another registrar.
  • All Pre-Expiry Auctions last 7 days and end automatically 5 days before expiration. Auctions starting less than 12 days before expiration may end early.
  • Dynadot's auction commission is 15% of the final price. There is no listing fee at this time.
  • Auction proceeds are given in sales balance by default. This balance can be paid out or converted to account credit.
  • Domains registered with other registrars are not eligible for Pre-Expiry Auctions, but you can list them on our marketplace.
