Unused domain

My blog used to be on a third-level domain name in org.ua, which is paid for until December 2023 and currently aged over 6 years. The blog has since moved to a new domain, leaving the old one unused. Despite applying filters, no solution has been found yet.

Should I keep the old domain or let it go? Perhaps selling it is an option, but where do I find potential buyers?

If you haven't sold your domain yet or figured out what to do with it, setting up a redirect is a temporary solution. Additionally, you can list the domain for sale through the registrar where you purchased it. Even if you don't end up selling it, keeping an old and established domain can still be valuable as many people may follow links they have remembered from before.

There are a lot of parking tools available that you could consider utilizing for your unused domain names. For my own collection of about 50 unused domain names, I have found great success with using Newsy. Although it is not the typical parking tool, I highly recommend it.

 I would advise you to consider several factors before making a decision about the old domain. Firstly, evaluate the potential value of the domain. Aged domains with good history and backlinks can hold significant value in the market. You can use domain appraisal tools to estimate its value.

If the old domain has strong SEO value and traffic, then it may be worth keeping or selling. However, if it's not adding any value and is just costing maintenance fees, it might be better to let it go.

If you decide to sell, you can list the domain on domain marketplaces or reach out to potential buyers in your niche. Also, consider reaching out to domain brokers who can assist in finding potential buyers for your domain.


I understand the dilemma you are facing with your old domain. Let's break down your options and considerations in more detail.

1. Potential Value: Evaluate the potential value of your old domain. Factors such as age, backlinks, traffic history, and SEO ranking can contribute to its value. You can utilize domain appraisal tools or consult with domain experts to get a comprehensive understanding of its worth.

2. Usefulness: Consider whether the old domain holds any practical use for you. If it still receives organic traffic, has valuable backlinks, or has brand recognition, it might be worth retaining. On the other hand, if it's not actively contributing to your online presence and is only incurring maintenance costs, it might be better to let it go.

3. Selling Option: If the domain holds significant value, selling it could be a viable option. You can list it on domain marketplaces such as Sedo, Flippa, or GoDaddy Auctions. Alternatively, reaching out to potential buyers in your niche or utilizing the services of domain brokers can help you connect with interested parties.

4. Future Plans: Align your decision with your long-term online strategy. Consider how the old domain fits into your overall branding and marketing plans. If it aligns with your future projects or could be repurposed for new ventures, keeping it might be beneficial.

5. Financial Considerations: Evaluate the costs associated with maintaining the old domain versus the potential returns from selling it. Factor in renewal fees, hosting costs, and the time and effort required to manage the domain.

By thoroughly examining these aspects, you can make an informed decision on whether to keep, sell, or repurpose your old domain.
