Arrival
Price, payment and handover.
The practical end of a purchase: what you pay, who holds the money, and how the address reaches your account.
The price
Every address has one figure. It reflects the words in the name, how many people search them, and what comparable .com names have changed hands for. It is not set by the size of your company.
The figure includes everything on our side. The escrow service charges its own fee, usually shared between buyer and seller; we say how it is split before you agree.
Escrow
Money never comes to us first. A licensed escrow service keeps it, waits until you confirm the domain sits in your account, and releases it to us after that. You can follow each step on its site.
The transfer
If your registrar is the one we use, the name is pushed to your account in minutes. If not, you receive an authorisation code and start a transfer from your side; registrars usually finish these within five days.
The registration's remaining term moves with it, so there is nothing to renew straight away.
Questions buyers ask
Will moving to a new address break our email?
No. You keep your current domain for as long as you like and point the new one at the same site and mailboxes. Most companies run both for a year, then make the new one primary.
Can we pay in instalments?
For larger figures, yes, through the escrow service's payment plan. The address stays with escrow until the last instalment clears.
Is our interest kept private?
Yes. We do not tell anyone who asked about a name, and we do not offer the same address to a second company while a conversation with you is open.
Why not simply list names on a marketplace?
A marketplace reaches people who buy names to resell them. We would rather the address go to the company it describes, so we write to that company directly.
What if we are not interested?
Reply with a single word and you will not hear from us about it again.
