What Our Customers Are Saying
Real stories from customers using DHG to discover domains for SEO, client work and domain investing.
Matthew Woodward
SEO publisher and long-term DHG user
"We've been using DHG for 10 years!"
"I've been using Domain Hunter Gatherer since 2016 because it is one of the best tools that you can buy to find expired domains that have prebuilt brand signals, traffic and backlinks profiles that money can't buy."
Elvis
"Almost €240,000 in profit in 2025 using DHG."
“We generated almost €240,000 in profit in 2025 using DHG, just by finding great domains to turn into PBNs and sell to our clients! Amazing tool, easy to use, and definitely worth its price. There’s no need for multiple auction websites or hard-to-use backends.”
D. Aitken
Domain investor and site builder
"DHG is always part of my website-building process."
“DHG is always part of my website-building process. After brainstorming the domain name, I go to DHG and often find an alternative TLD or an even better name. Sadly, it is addictive, and I find myself spending a lot of time investigating good name ideas for possible future projects.
The search filter is great for excluding marketplaces and their silly prices.”
Haseeb
"One of the first SEO tools we discovered."
“I’ve been using DHG for many years now. It was one of the first tools we discovered when we started doing SEO back in 2016. It has helped us rank many clients by finding really good, relevant expired domains. Highly recommend it!”
Chris
"DHG helps us find the domain gold!"
“I love this tool. As the owner of Hot Pepper Agency, I handle hundreds of local SEO clients every year. We need to build properties for them, and we also have a domaining line of business that needs to keep producing. Like a great oil rig or sifter, DHG helps us look deep and find the domain gold!”
Mark
"We’ve been finding powerful domains since 2015."
“In our business model, we often need to discover and rebrand powerful domains. We’ve been finding those domains on Domain Hunter Gatherer since it was recommended to us back in 2015. Customer support has been prompt and genuinely helpful—I recall more than once getting support tickets answered in ‘off-hours,’ which is great when you’ve got a desirable domain in your sights.
If you’ve tried securing domains from some of the bigger auction houses, you know the challenges. DHG is easy to navigate and filter to find what you’re looking for. We’ve never bought a blacklisted or penalized domain from DHG. They do a great job vetting them.”
Sushodh
"DHG paid for itself in the first week."
“Domain Hunter Gatherer keeps BizProspex one step ahead. With the ‘Expired-Web2.0’ and ‘High-Powered Domains’ filters, we routinely uncover clean, niche-relevant URLs (DA 30+, TF 20+) in minutes—domains we used to pay $300–$500 for at auction. DHG has easily shaved 8–10 hours off every outreach campaign and paid for itself in the first week.”
Umit
"The only tool I trust to find hidden gems."
“Finding high-authority domains that have clean histories is usually a struggle, but DHG makes it effortless. I used it to discover my current brand’s domain, eskfest.org, right out of the gate. I also used the tool to find and flip borcasino.com for a $3,000 profit. It’s the only tool I trust to find hidden gems before anyone else does.”
J Carter
Domain investor and DHG user
"A $10 domain sold for $3,500."
“I started using DHG four or five years ago, and I was mostly interested in PBN possibilities to boost my own websites.
I didn’t use a ‘formal’ domain-searching technique. I mainly did keyword searches and looked for expired domains that caught my eye.
Doing that a couple of years ago, I saw HelloTruly.com and liked the sound of it, so I bought it for $10. After the fact, I did a little research and found that it had been some sort of social platform with subscribers, an app and an active website. The hook was ‘know when to say hello’: you put the app on your phone, plug in the characteristics of the people you want to meet, and then—maybe through Bluetooth—if you are in a public setting and someone matching your profile is nearby, it alerts you to say hello. I don’t know what happened with that site or app, but the site went offline a few years ago and the domain became available. Due to the development that had been done on it and the fact that it appeared viable, I always suspected that one of the former owners might want it back. I listed it for sale and, after about 13 months, it sold for $3,500—not to an original owner or even to a social project, but to a dental practice called Truly Dental.
Using that same technique, I picked up QuotableBooks.com for $10 and later sold it for $350.
That’s when I bought a lifetime licence to DHG. I’m still using it mostly for domaining, but I’m about to work on some new sites and may revisit the PBN possibilities. Keep up the good work!”
