What every term in the product means - and, where it is easy to assume otherwise, what it does not mean. This page is the reference the rest of the site defers to.
The first day a new business is observable to us.
FeedLead detects a business at the earliest point it produces a public signal, rather than when it appears in a prospecting database. Day-Zero is the positioning name for that moment.
What it does not mean: It is not a legal formation date and not a filing date. We observe a registration signal, not an incorporation record.
FeedLead's name for the detection method.
Monitoring registration and related upstream signals, then enriching and delivering what is available, so a business can be contacted before it enters conventional prospecting databases.
What it does not mean: It is not a product you query. The output is a daily file.
Related: Day-Zero, daily delivery
The observable event that a new business domain has been registered.
The signal FeedLead's detection clock starts from. Everything FeedLead says about timing is measured from this, not from a company's founding.
What it does not mean: It is not a WHOIS lookup service and not a record of who registered the domain.
Related: newly registered business domain
A domain registered recently that appears to belong to a business.
The unit of a FeedLead record. One row is one domain, with its registered country, the IP it currently resolves to and the hosting network that IP belongs to (ip_org), an inferred industry and business type, infrastructure and quality signals, and an email address where one is available.
What it does not mean: It is not a company record. There is no registrant name, company filing, revenue or employee count attached.
Related: Day-Zero, industry classification
The category FeedLead belongs to.
Prospecting data about businesses at the point they become observable, intended for immediate outreach.
What it does not mean: It is not a cybersecurity newly-registered-domain feed, not domain-investing data, and not a mature named-contact database. Those serve different buyers.
Related: conventional prospecting database
The plan that delivers the full daily stream.
Every new business domain detected that day - typically 150,000 to 300,000 - with registered country, current IP and hosting network, industry classification and the infrastructure and quality signals. $395/month.
What it does not mean: It does not include the email-enriched file.
Related: Email-Enriched, Combined
The plan that delivers the records carrying an email address.
The part of each day's stream that can be contacted by email - typically 12,000 to 25,000 records - with the same context and classification. $495/month.
What it does not mean: It is not a separate dataset; it is the contactable part of the same daily detection.
Related: contact email data, All Domains
Both daily files.
The full daily stream and the email-enriched file, every day, with priority support. $590/month, and the best value of the three: the two single plans bought separately are $890.
Related: All Domains, Email-Enriched
The email addresses included in the email-enriched file.
Email addresses associated with newly registered business activity, sourced from registration records and from FeedLead's own discovery, and cleaned through DeliveryTruth before delivery. Measured across 218 delivery days to 30 September 2026 (4,255,197 delivered addresses): 56.2% used a role prefix such as info@ or sales@, 43.8% were on the registered domain, and 25.0% were at a free email provider. Those categories overlap and are not a split of the file.
What it does not mean: These are organisation addresses, not named individuals with job titles. Role addresses are an important subset, not a description of the whole file. We do not supply phone numbers or postal addresses.
FeedLead's pre-delivery email cleaning step.
DeliveryTruth is FeedLead's own email validation service. Every delivered email is cleaned through it before it reaches the file: invalid addresses - mailbox rejected or bounced - are removed, and the current verification result is recorded per record in the email_verification column (verified, catch_all, no_mx or unverified).
What it does not mean: "Cleaned through DeliveryTruth" does not mean every row carries the literal status verified: catch_all, no_mx and unverified addresses are delivered with that status so you can decide how to use them. It cannot guarantee a human reads the mailbox.
Related: contact email data
Looking for contact information after a domain comes alive.
A newly registered domain often publishes nothing on day one. As it starts resolving and serving content, FeedLead looks for business and contact signals that did not exist at registration.
What it does not mean: It is not crawling the whole web, and it is not a people-search service.
Related: contact email data
An inferred industry label on a record.
Each record is given an industry classification derived from the domain, so a large daily file can be segmented and prioritised. Included on every plan.
What it does not mean: It is not an add-on, it is not taken from a company filing, and it is not assigned to every record - some domains carry too little signal to classify confidently, and those are left blank rather than guessed.
Related: classification confidence
How sure the classification is.
Classifications carry a confidence level so you can decide how much weight to give them. Use high-confidence labels to prioritise and treat the rest as a hint.
What it does not mean: A confidence level is not a verification. Nothing here is checked against a registry.
Related: industry classification
The country recorded with the domain registration.
Comes from the registration record itself and is the most reliable geographic field FeedLead delivers. A single day's file has carried records from 105 countries.
Related: inferred state, county and city
Sub-national location guessed from the domain.
Present in the file, derived from the domain name with a confidence level. Useful for prioritising a list.
What it does not mean: Not a verified postal address. Do not use it as a mailing address or treat it as city-level targeting.
Related: registered country
The organisation behind the IP a domain currently resolves to.
The hosting network or network organisation associated with the domain's current resolved IP address - Cloudflare, Amazon, Hostinger and the like. It is the domain's hosting context on the day of delivery, so it can change.
What it does not mean: Not the domain registrar. Not necessarily the business itself, and not the legal owner of the domain. It did not come from the registration record; it describes where the domain lives today.
Related: registered country, site_status
A sub-industry label next to the industry.
A more specific label derived from the evidence that produced the industry classification - a word in the domain, the TLD, or the site's own page text - such as Plumbing, Dental Practice or Online Store. Blank where the evidence is too thin to name one.
What it does not mean: Not a registry category and not present on every record. It is a reading of the name and site, not a company filing.
How much weight the TLD deserves, 0 to 10.
A score for the domain's top-level domain based on how often that TLD carries genuine business activity in FeedLead's deliveries. A .com scores higher than a TLD that is mostly bulk registrations.
What it does not mean: Not a judgement about the individual domain, only about its TLD. A low score is a prior, not a verdict.
Related: quality, cluster_suspect
The industry as a four-digit NAICS code and its description.
The industry classification expressed in the North American Industry Classification System: a four-digit code (a two-digit sector padded with zeros, for example 2300 for Construction) and the sector's description, so the file can be joined to systems that key on NAICS.
What it does not mean: Not an official assignment to the business and not more precise than the industry classification it mirrors. Blank where no industry was assigned.
Related: industry classification, business_type
How the industry classification was decided.
One of keyword (a business word in the domain name), keyword_segmented (the same word found by splitting a compound name), tld (the TLD alone, such as .dental), email (the address pattern), page_content (words on the live homepage) or ai (FeedLead's AI tier). It tells you how much to trust the label and lets a saved subset keep only the stronger sources.
What it does not mean: Not a confidence level by itself; see classification confidence for that.
Related: classification confidence, saved subset
Who hosts the domain's mail.
The mail provider inferred from the domain's MX records: google, microsoft, zoho, proton, godaddy and others, or other. Blank when the domain has no MX record yet.
What it does not mean: Not the email address's own provider when the address is on a different domain, and not a statement that mail is actually being read.
Related: email_verification, ip_org
What the domain's website is doing on the day of delivery.
One of live, parked, coming_soon, under_construction, empty, redirect, social_only, blocked or dead, from FeedLead fetching the homepage. Blank when the check has not run for that record.
What it does not mean: Not permanent - a parked domain often goes live within days - and not a judgement of the business. blocked means a CDN refused the check, not that the site is down.
Related: active-domain discovery, has_contact_form
Whether the site has a contact form.
1 when FeedLead found a contact form on the homepage or its contact page, 0 when it looked and found none, blank when the site was not fetched.
What it does not mean: Not the form's address or type - the file carries only the indicator.
Related: site_status
A bulk-registration warning.
1 when the domain fits a pattern of many similar names registered together - the same IP and name shape, or the same TLD, hosting network and suffix - which usually means a campaign rather than a business. Exclude these in a saved subset to shrink a day's file to its real prospects.
What it does not mean: Not proof that the domain is junk, and not applied to every row: it needs a cluster of at least ten to fire.
Related: quality, saved subset
An overall grade for the record: A, B, C or JUNK.
A grade that combines the TLD quality score, the cluster check and the shape of the name, so a large day can be ranked. A is the strongest prospect signal; JUNK is a name FeedLead would not contact.
What it does not mean: Not a verification of the business and not a guarantee of contactability. A grade is a prior for prioritising, not a filter FeedLead applies for you - the full file keeps every grade.
Related: tld_quality_score, cluster_suspect
The current verification result carried for the primary email.
verified - the mailbox was confirmed; catch_all - the server accepts any address, so the mailbox cannot be confirmed; no_mx - the domain has no mail server yet, which is common on day zero; unverified - not yet confirmable. invalid is never a delivered value: those addresses are removed by DeliveryTruth cleaning before delivery.
What it does not mean: Not a guarantee that a human reads the mailbox, and not a statement about email_2 or email_3, which are delivered as found. no_mx and unverified addresses are delivered with that status so you can decide how to use them.
Related: DeliveryTruth cleaning, contact email data
A file every day.
FeedLead produces a delivery each day - the full files your plan includes plus any saved subsets - and makes it available in your account and through the delivery API. Data for a given day is delivered the following day, which lets us absorb time-zone differences and late-arriving data so the file is complete rather than partial.
What it does not mean: It is not a guarantee of 365 files a year. Over the last month deliveries went out on 28 of 31 days; upstream gaps happen and we say so rather than shipping a partial file.
Authenticated access to your own daily files, included with every plan.
A read-only API, included with every plan from day one, that returns your delivery metadata and signed download links for the files your plan includes - the current delivery, your saved subsets and a rolling 30 days of history. Keys are generated from your subscriber account and presented as a header; the documentation lives on the same page.
What it does not mean: It is not a lookup or search service. There is no per-domain lookup, no WHOIS, and no query across records. If you need to look up one specific business, FeedLead is the wrong tool.
Related: rolling 30-day history, daily delivery
Rules you define once; a file you receive every day.
A filter saved in the subscriber account - by TLD, country, industry, NAICS code, quality, site status, mail provider, classification confidence or TLD quality, with exclusions for hosting networks and bulk-registration clusters - that FeedLead rebuilds with every future delivery. Each subset arrives as its own file beside the full files, with exactly the columns of the file it is cut from, listed on the delivery API, and included in every plan for the feeds the plan covers.
What it does not mean: Not a replacement for the full file, which you still receive, and not a one-off download filter: the value is that it is rebuilt automatically with every delivery.
Related: delivery API, daily delivery
The last 30 days of deliveries stay available.
Every delivery from the previous 30 days - full files and subset files - remains in your account and through the delivery API, so you can catch up after a missed day or start part-way through a month.
What it does not mean: It is not an archive or a searchable database. The unit is the delivery file, and FeedLead's positioning is today's delivery first - history is a convenience.
Related: delivery API
The whole day's file, not a selection.
Every qualifying record for that delivery date, in one file, with nothing filtered, removed, reordered or selected.
Related: real-day delivery, canary rows
The proof file FeedLead sends on request.
A real complete FeedLead delivery - today's if today's is complete, otherwise yesterday's - sent so you can evaluate the data before buying. We tell you which date it is.
What it does not mean: It is not a curated sample, a demo extract or hand-picked examples. It is also not byte-identical to a customer's file, because three traceable marker rows are added.
Related: canary rows, business email requirement
Three traceable marker rows added to every real-day delivery.
Plausible-looking records on domains FeedLead owns and monitors, added so a leaked file can be traced back to the request it came from. We disclose them rather than hide them.
What it does not mean: They are the reason we never describe the proof file as unchanged or identical to a customer delivery.
Related: real-day delivery
A real-day delivery goes to a business address.
Requests are checked server-side against a list of free email providers. A free-provider address is declined.
Related: real-day delivery
What freshness means here, specifically.
Detected within 24 hours of the registration signal, and delivered the following day. Freshness is the product's whole argument, so we state the delivery date rather than implying everything is from this morning.
Related: daily delivery, Day-Zero
The kind of tool FeedLead is usually bought alongside.
A searchable database of established companies, richer because the information accumulated over time: fuller profiles, named contacts, phone numbers.
What it does not mean: FeedLead is not a replacement for one. The trade is more information later versus earlier opportunity now, and most teams who buy FeedLead already have the other kind.
