ForSale is a standardized "_for-sale" DNS name for signaling that a domain name is available for purchase (or lease). The proposal addresses a common operational need by providing a machine-readable, globally consistent mechanism to indicate that domains are for sale, complementing inconsistent web-based parking pages and proprietary signaling methods.
- Machine-readable – systems can automatically detect which domains are for sale.
- Globally consistent – the same mechanism works across top-level domains worldwide.
- Supports automation – helps domain brokers, domain investors, and acquisition tools reliably discover domains for sale.
- Lightweight – uses the DNS, so no extra infrastructure or web scraping is needed.
