About APN Digital Brand Management GmbH

APN Digital Brand Management GmbH from Baden runs the domain trading platform DomainCatcher.com. There you can secure expiring domains via backorder, buy and sell domains at fixed prices and make use of unused domains instead of deleting them.

What DomainCatcher.com offers

• Backorder for .de domains: You choose a domain from the RGP list and, depending on your tier status, pay 4.99 to 8.99 € plus VAT – only if the registration succeeds. Three months of registration fees are included.
• ReCatch: Domains can be taken over on the last day of the RGP, before they become publicly available – at a fixed price of 25 € net including three months of registration fees. No auction, no bidding.
• Domex: a marketplace for registered members only, from domainer to domainer. Every domain costs a fixed 9 to 99 €; according to the provider, around 10,000 are available. After purchase it is yours immediately – without waiting for an invoice or auth code.
• Open Domain Market (ODM): sales pages for end customers with a freely chosen price, instant purchase, escrow service and automatic invoicing. The same domain can be listed in Domex and in the ODM at the same time.
• Redomain: Instead of deleting an unused domain, you transfer it to DomainCatcher. If a buyer is found within about 30 to 40 days, you receive 50 % of the proceeds. The transfer is irrevocable, and a sale is not guaranteed.

Geo, expired and invest domains

Domex sorts its range into three groups: GEO for domains with a place name in them, EXP for expired domains with existing backlinks and INV for invest domains with keyword value.

For each domain the platform shows key figures: the domain age, a backlink rating (Low, Medium, High), DomInDom – how often the main keyword appears in other domains – and TLDconnected – how often the name is used with other extensions.

How a backorder works

1. Choose a domain: enter the domain you want or pick it from the RGP list.
2. Confirm the order: in a few clicks.
3. Wait for the drop day: A deleted domain first sits in the Redemption Grace Period, usually about 30 days, and up to 60 days via the AuthInfo2 procedure. During this time the previous owner can reclaim it. On the drop day it becomes available.
4. Check the result: It appears shortly afterwards under "My Backorder". If the catch succeeds, the domain goes straight into your portfolio at DomainCatcher.

Who it is for

DomainCatcher is aimed at domainers and SEOs: at anyone looking for the right domain for their own project, as well as at those who trade domains on the side or professionally. According to its own description, the marketplace does not require any technical knowledge.
