Museo Archeologico di Napoli

What Museo Archeologico di Napoli does

Catched is a self-serve web platform for backordering and auctioning expiring domain names, operated by Edomains LLC, a privately held Wyoming LLC. Users register through the parent Edomains platform, browse an inventory of gTLD and ccTLD expiring domains, and place free backorders that convert into a binding purchase obligation only if the domain is successfully captured. When multiple users backorder the same domain, it enters a public auction of up to 10 days with proxy bidding and tiered bid increments (e.g., $5 increments under $100, scaling to $100 increments above $1,000). Payment is due within 24 hours of auction close and saved cards are auto-charged.

The underlying technology is a web-based auction and backorder engine integrated with an ICANN-accredited registrar stack (InterNIC-listed, registrar 3804) and the broader Edomains ecosystem, which includes a related platform called Domaining. The platform also exposes a public API (api.catched.com/docs) for programmatic access and supports private sales conducted outside the auction flow.

Catched's revenue is fully transactional: it captures the domain registration price on successful backorders, the winning bid on auctions, a 10% commission on private sales, and a $49 account-reactivation fee. Pricing is unit-based across Standard TLDs (roughly $25–$390+ depending on TLD, with one year of registration included) and Premium registry-tagged domains (e.g., $88 for premium .co/.com.mx/.org.mx). Distribution is entirely self-serve via the website and a Telegram channel, with a horizontal SMB/individual customer base and no named enterprise accounts. Note: the source block labeling this company as "Museo Archeologico di Napoli" does not match the substantive data, which uniformly describes Catched / Edomains LLC.
