Shelved.Domains vs Indiedots

Feature Breakdown

About Shelved.Domains

Shelved.Domains is a curated marketplace that connects indie makers and founders looking to buy or sell domain names from shelved projects. Unlike traditional domain marketplaces, we focus exclusively on domains under $500 that come from real projects and ideas.

Our platform serves two key purposes: First, it helps makers recover some value from domains they're no longer using. Second, it provides other entrepreneurs access to high-quality, brandable domains at reasonable prices.

Every domain listed on Shelved.Domains has been verified for ownership and comes with instant buy-it-now pricing through established escrow services like Sedo and Afternic. We carefully review all listings to ensure they meet our quality standards and pricing guidelines, creating a trusted marketplace for the indie maker community.

About Indiedots

Indiedots is a private domain marketplace that offers unique, brandable domain names bundled with custom-designed logos, with most prices under $500. Each purchase includes both a .com domain name and an original logo design that becomes your property.

The platform focuses on neologistic or associative names that build brand identity, moving away from descriptive names. They carefully select and register all domains themselves, without working with resellers.

Unlike traditional marketplaces, Indiedots provides 24/7 technical support and includes custom logo design with every purchase. They position themselves as a cost-effective branding solution, offering domain names with professional logos at a fraction of the cost of traditional naming services.
