A rolling seven-day refund policy applies to the latest active subscription payment. Eligibility and the request process are set out in the full refund policy.

Accounts & setup Which operating systems does DHG support?

Domain Hunter Gatherer is Windows desktop software. The published v3.5.9 release notes record a move to .NET 4.8 to support a wider range of Windows systems. For an older PC or a Windows VPS, check the current member-area download information or ask support before purchasing.

Accounts & setup Where should I download the software?

Always download Domain Hunter Gatherer from the official member area. After creating an account, sign in and use the download listed with your active resources so that you receive the current installer.

Accounts & setup How many computers can use one licence?

The currently published licence guidance allows installation on multiple computers, with the licence running on one computer at a time. Multiple DHG jobs can be run as separate instances on that active computer.

Accounts & setup How does the software update?

DHG checks for updates when it starts and applies the current application update automatically. The public update notes provide a transparent history of additions, improvements and fixes.

Accounts & setup How do I reset my member-area password?

Open the member sign-in page and use the lost-password control with the email address attached to your account. If the reset email does not arrive, contact support from that same address so the account can be located securely.

Domain research What is an expired domain?

An expired domain is a name that a previous registrant did not renew and that may become available again. Some retain useful history, relevant links or brand potential, while others do not, so every candidate deserves individual research.

Domain research How can DHG discover domain opportunities?

DHG can search supported auction sources, discover expired domains from keywords and relevant websites, explore backlink paths, search a prepared expired-domain dataset and investigate reusable Web2.0 addresses. The available methods depend on the selected plan.

Domain research Can I analyse a list of domains I already have?

Yes. You can bring an existing domain list into the DHG research workflow, compare supported signals and filter the candidates consistently. Plan and service allowances can affect particular availability checks or third-party metrics.

Domain research Does DHG register domains or place auction bids for me?

No. DHG is the discovery, comparison and research layer. Final availability, pricing, registration, bidding and transfer details should always be confirmed with the relevant registrar or marketplace before you act.

Domain research Is every result guaranteed to remain available?

No. Domain status, auction inventory and prices can change quickly. Treat each result as a promising lead and confirm its live status with the registrar or marketplace immediately before registering or bidding.

Domain research Do domain metrics tell me exactly what a name is worth?

No single metric sets a domain value or guarantees an SEO result. Brand quality, extension, relevance, historical use, links, comparable sales, trademarks and the project you intend to build all contribute to a sound decision.

Domain research Do I need proxies to use Domain Hunter Gatherer?

Many DHG tasks can be used without proxies. Reliable shared or private proxies can be useful for heavier research and repeated checks, while public proxies are generally too inconsistent for dependable work. The need depends on the module and volume you use.

Support & learning How do I contact support?

Pro includes helpdesk support, while Free and Premium include limited support access. Members can use the member-area support route, and support is also available by email at support@domainhuntergatherer.com.

Support & learning Where can I learn how to use the tools?

Start with the video tutorial library for practical walkthroughs, then use the written guides and product pages for deeper explanations of expired domains, auctions, Web2.0 research and archive recovery.

Support & learning How should I report a bug or request a feature?

Send the details through the helpdesk or support email. Include the DHG version, the tool you were using, what you expected, what happened and any safe-to-share error text or screenshots. Clear reproduction steps make an issue much easier to investigate.

Support & learning How often is DHG updated?

There is no fixed public release schedule. Updates are published as features, integrations and compatibility work are ready, and the Update Notes page records the current release and the longer development history.
