Linking domains
How many different websites link to the domain. Usually more telling than the raw number of links.
Dropcatch · snapback · backorder
Dropped domains go to whoever is fastest.
When a .se, .nu or .fi domain isn't renewed, it is eventually released for anyone to register. That's when speed matters. It's exactly what we do – every day.
A domain's final days
From expired domain to your domain
The Swedish Internet Foundation (.se and .nu) and Traficom (.fi) deregister domains that aren't renewed and release them after a grace period. They appear in our domain list in advance, so you can book in good time.
- 1
Not renewed
The holder doesn't renew the domain before it expires.
- 2
Grace period
The domain is deactivated. The holder can still save it.
- 3
In our domain list
The domain shows up among upcoming releases in the customer portal.
- 4
You backorder
You book the domain with us. The earlier you book, the better your chance of being first.
Release
We register the domain the moment it becomes available – in your name.

The domain list
Data that helps you choose
The customer portal lists every domain about to be released, with metrics from Google's advertising data and one of the web's largest link indexes. Click a column to sort.
Rank
The strength of the link profile on a 0–1000 scale, based on the number of links and the strength of the linking pages.
Search volume
How many times a month the word in the domain name is searched on Google in Sweden – or in Finland for .fi.
CPC and competition
What advertisers pay per click and how many compete for the word. A sign of commercial value.
The numbers are a guide. Always make your own assessment before you book.
Three top-level domains
