In short
The cost of catching a domain depends on the TLD, the chosen service and the process. A backorder can involve a base fee plus TLD-dependent registration costs; ReCatch has fixed prices instead of auctions. Prices change — the figures of the respective provider are always authoritative.
What the cost depends on
- TLD: registration and renewal costs differ per extension.
- Process: classic backorder vs. ReCatch vs. direct purchase on the market.
- Service: base fees, included services and tier models vary.
Example prices (as of 2026-08-12)
| Service (DomainCatcher.com, .de) | Price |
|---|---|
| ReCatch (fixed price, no auction) | 25 € net (former-owner share 15 €) |
| Domex marketplace (fixed prices) | 9–99 € |
| Open Domain Market | ab 100 € |
Prices are examples and depend on the tier level; gross prices incl. 20 % VAT. Subject to change — the figures on DomainCatcher.com are authoritative. Depending on the offer, backorder prices already include registration/marketplace fees for a defined period.
Not a purchase guarantee
Depending on the model, costs sometimes arise only on success. A backorder does not guarantee the domain.
