Buying a domain
The name you want belongs to somebody else. We find out who, approach them without your company attached, and settle a price before you are committed to anything.
The name you want is never for sale. That is what a broker is for.
Independent domain brokerage: tracing who holds the name, approaching them without your company attached, and keeping the money in escrow until the domain is confirmed in your account.
What we do
One broker, from the first approach to the transfer confirmation.
Most enquiries are about a single name — the one somebody else registered years ago. Portfolios and multi-name sales run the same way, with more of it at once.
Selling a domain
A name you are not using costs a renewal fee every year and earns nothing. We price it, take it to the businesses it actually fits, and run the sale through to completion.
Valuation
What a name is worth and the sales that support the figure — before you decide whether to buy it, sell it, or stop paying to renew it.
Transfer & escrow
The part that goes wrong. Funds held by a neutral third party, the authorisation code released in the right order, and the name confirmed in its new account before anybody is paid.
Why people use a broker at all
The price is decided before anyone speaks.
Most of the value in a brokered deal is made in the ten minutes before the first message goes out.
- Your name stays out of it. An approach from the business that obviously needs the domain is the most expensive approach there is. Ours names no buyer until there is a price on the table.
- We find out who really holds it. Privacy services hide most registrants now. Registrar records, archived WHOIS and the site's own history usually still say enough to reach a person.
- Neither side goes first. The money sits with an escrow service until the name is in the buyer's account. Nobody is asked to trust a stranger with five figures.
- You set the ceiling. Agreed in writing before an offer is made, and not exceeded. A negotiation you can genuinely walk away from is a negotiation you can win.
How it goes
Four steps, and you approve every one of them.
From the first enquiry to the domain landing in an account, you always know what happens next and what it will cost.
You tell us the name
The domain you are after, or the one you are holding, and what it is for. You get a straight answer on whether it is worth pursuing at all.
You get a valuation and a plan
What the name is likely worth, how the approach will be made, and what we charge — agreed in writing.
We negotiate
Approach, counter, counter again. Everything on the table comes back to you before it is answered, and the ceiling you set is the ceiling.
Escrow, then transfer
Funds lodged with a third party, the authorisation code released, and the domain confirmed in its new account before anyone is paid.
Holding a name you want to move, or chasing one that is already taken?
Tell us the domain and what it is for. You get a straight read on what it is worth and what it would take to move it — and asking costs nothing.
