Buying a Domain
How do I buy a domain name?
Once you have found a domain name you'd like to buy click on the "Buy" link. You will be redirected to the marketplace that owns the listing to complete the secure checkout process. We recommend that you check out our domain buying guide and our pricing guide for important tips.
How do I know if the listing price is fair?
Prices aren't always reasonable, don't get ripped off. Aftermarket domain pricing is highly subjective. While many domains are fairly priced, some are not. Whether a price is “fair” depends on the quality of the domain, the asking price, and how much you want it. We recommend that you check out our domain buying guide and our pricing guide for important tips.
How do I find a good domain?
Choosing the right domain takes time, but the rewards are well worth the effort. A strong domain can define your brand and make it memorable so take your time and think long-term. We recommend that you check out our domain selection guide and our pricing guide for important tips.
What payment options are available?
Payment options vary by marketplace and listing price. Many platforms accept credit card payments up to a set limit (for example, $25,000), while others also support ACH transfers, wire transfers, and even cryptocurrency.
Are payment plans available for domain purchases?
Many marketplaces offer payment plans that allow you to spread the cost of a domain purchase over months or years. Specific plans and terms vary by marketplace. After you click “Buy,” you’ll be redirected to the marketplace’s listing page, where you can review and choose from their available payment plans and options.
How does the domain transfer process work?
Once you purchase a domain, the transfer process begins. The domain is moved from the seller's account to your account. This process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the domain registrar and any verification steps required. We are not involved in the transfer process and it is generally done by the marketplace that owns the listing.
How do I know I have full ownership of the domain?
After the domain transfer is complete, you will receive a confirmation email, and the domain will appear in your registrar account's domain management panel. From there, you can configure DNS settings, renew the domain, or transfer it to another registrar if you choose. Full ownership means you have complete control over the domain and can use it as you see fit.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Domain purchases are typically final and non-refundable, though specific policies can vary by marketplace. After you click “Buy,” you’ll be redirected to the marketplace’s listing page, where you can review their exact terms before completing your purchase.
