Step 1
Complete your purchase
Buy-it-now domains check out instantly through Escrow.com. For Make-offer or Request-price domains, we confirm terms with you first, then send the secure Escrow.com transaction.
How it works
Trust isn't a badge. It's how the deal works.
No wire to a stranger, no taking anyone's word for it. Every acquisition runs through Escrow.com, with your money held in trust until you confirm the domain is yours. Here is exactly how it goes, the same process you see on every domain page.
Full ownership, no ongoing commitments
When you acquire a domain here it becomes entirely yours. After transfer you manage it directly at your own registrar. We no longer have any access, and there are no recurring fees or strings attached.
The purchase process
Step 2
Payment verification
Escrow.com holds your funds in trust and verifies the payment. Card and PayPal payments are confirmed within a few business days; wire transfers within 24 hours of clearing.
Step 3
Transfer your domain
You choose how you receive it. Transfer to another registrar using the authorization code (ICANN rules allow up to ~5 days), or have it pushed directly into your existing registrar account, with no waiting period.
Step 4
Transfer complete
Once the domain is under your control you confirm receipt, Escrow.com releases the funds, and the domain is 100% yours, managed entirely at your own registrar, with no ongoing fees to us, ever.
You own the domain 100%, protected end to end by Escrow.com.

Questions & answers
Why is every transaction handled through Escrow.com?
Escrow.com is a licensed, regulated escrow service used for millions of domain transactions. It removes counterparty risk: your money is held in trust and only released once you confirm the domain is under your control. If a transfer fails, you are refunded in full.
How long does a transfer take?
Most domain transfers complete within 24 hours of payment confirmation. Some registrar-to-registrar transfers can take a little longer depending on the TLD, but you receive the authorization code and instructions immediately after the transaction opens.
Can I keep the domain at my own registrar?
Yes. After transfer you have full ownership and can manage the domain at any ICANN-accredited registrar: Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy or others. There are no restrictions and no ongoing fees to us.
How does lease-to-own work?
On eligible buy-it-now domains you can spread the cost interest-free over a fixed number of months. You make equal monthly payments; the domain transfers to you on the final payment. No credit check is required.
What's the difference between buy now, make an offer and request price?
Buy-it-now domains have a fixed price and check out immediately. Make-offer domains invite a serious offer that a person reviews and replies to, usually within one business day. Request-price domains are priced privately. Tell us your intended use and we respond with terms.
