A complete usage guide for ValuDomain — from your first valuation to running a full domain workflow.

1. Getting started

1

Create an account

Go to Sign up and register with email or Google. Free accounts include 5 valuations / day, 3 monitored auctions, 3 tracked domains, and 3 banner images / day.

2

Open the dashboard

After signing in you land on the dashboard, organized into four tabs that mirror the domain workflow: Auctions, Portfolio, Valuation, and Banners.

3

Run your first valuation

Open the Valuation tab, enter any domain (e.g. example.com), and click Evaluate. Results appear in seconds with a value range, 11-dimension score, and comparable sales.

2. Discover — Auction monitoring

The Auctions tab tracks live drop-catch and aftermarket listings across GoDaddy, NameJet, Dynadot, Sedo, Namecheap Marketplace, and DropCatch.

  • Add a domain to watch: click Add to watchlist and paste a domain name or a listing URL. We auto-detect the venue and end time.
  • Calendar & list view: toggle between a chronological list and a calendar grouped by end date.
  • Priority colors: rows turn amber within 1 hour and red within 15 minutes of the deadline.
  • Reminders: automatic email (and optional Telegram) at 1 hour, 15 minutes, and 5 minutes before each auction ends.

3. Manage — Portfolio management

The Portfolio tab is your owned-domain inventory: registration date, expiry, registrar, acquisition cost, tags, and notes.

  • Add domains: one-by-one, or import in bulk via CSV (a template is provided in the import dialog).
  • Tags: group by niche, marketplace, or strategy. Filter and sort the table by any column.
  • Renewal reminders: get notified 30, 14, and 3 days before any domain expires.
  • Export: download your full portfolio as CSV at any time.

4. Evaluate — Domain valuation

Every valuation returns four artifacts: a value range (low / mid / high in USD), an 11-dimension quality score, a list of comparable sales from our internal database, and pricing recommendations.

  • Single valuation: Valuation tab → type a domain → Evaluate.
  • Batch from portfolio: select rows in the Portfolio tab and click Run valuation — results are appended back to each row.
  • Share / archive: every valuation has a permanent URL you can revisit or share.
  • How the score reads: Length, Pronounceability, Memorability, Brandability, Keyword strength, TLD, Spelling, Hyphens/Digits, Commercial intent, Trademark risk, Market demand.

5. Sell — For-sale banners

The Banners tab generates parking-page and social-share images for domains you're trying to sell.

  • Auto-matched template: we classify each domain (tech, finance, health, travel, etc.) and pick a matching template automatically.
  • Customize: override the tagline, asking price, and contact field per domain.
  • Batch mode: select multiple domains from your portfolio and generate banners for all of them in one click.
  • Download: PNG output at standard parking-page dimensions; Pro removes the watermark.

6. Notifications & Telegram

Email notifications are on by default. To add Telegram:

  1. Open Account → Notifications.
  2. Click Bind Telegram — we generate a one-time code.
  3. Open the link, send the code to our bot in Telegram, and your account is bound.
  4. Toggle which event types (auction reminders, renewal reminders, valuation completed, Pro Report ready) you want delivered there.

7. Account & billing

  • Upgrade: Account → Plan. Pick Plus or Pro, monthly or annual.
  • Quota: usage counters reset daily at 00:00 UTC. Your remaining quota is shown at the top of each tab.
  • Cancel: cancel anytime from Account → Plan. You keep paid features until period end. See the Refund Policy.
