Every domain dropped yesterday, in one batch.

Every domain name deleted, expired, or dropped from registration in the previous 24 hours. Delivered as a daily batch from zone-file diffs and registrar drop signals.

WHAT'S IN THIS FEED

One row per domain that left the registry.

The Daily Deleted Domain Names Feed surfaces the back edge of the registration system. Every domain that disappeared from registry data in the past 24 hours, whether through deletion, non-renewal, or registrar drop.

Each record is the domain itself. The feed compares yesterday's zone-file state against today's across all monitored TLDs, captures everything that left, and delivers the union as a single file. ICANN CZDS, registry partner feeds, and Deepinfo's own continuous discovery pipeline all contribute.

Deleted domains matter for two workflows: drop-catching infrastructure that wants to know when a name becomes available, and threat investigation against domains that an adversary may have intentionally let lapse to break ownership trails.

“Drop-catch and ownership-change signal feeds straight into our brand-monitoring pipeline. Catching deletions at end-of-day cadence means our customer alerts go out before drop-catch resellers re-register the names.”
