How it works

Two ways to buy. Both safe.

Every name here is listed on the Dynadot marketplace with a Buy Now price, and every name can also be bought directly through Escrow.com — for about 7% less. Either way, you never pay us before the domain is under your control.

Buy Now on Dynadot

Every name in the portfolio is registered at Dynadot and listed on the Dynadot marketplace with a Buy Now price — the same price you see here.

You check out on dynadot.com like in any online store. The marketplace takes the payment, handles delivery, and the domain lands in your Dynadot account — no emails, no negotiation, no waiting on us.

Save ~7%

Deal direct via Escrow.com

The listed price includes the marketplace commission. A direct deal has none, so we pass it back: about 7% off, with the whole transaction protected by Escrow.com, a licensed and regulated escrow service.

This is also the route for offers below the asking price, instalment plans, and bundle lots (two spellings sold as one) — both names end up in your account. Use the offer form on any listing page; the discounted price is prefilled.

The five steps of a direct deal

Buying through Dynadot? The marketplace runs the whole thing at checkout. The steps below are the direct Escrow.com route.

  1. Agreement on price

    You take the discounted direct price or send an offer. We reply the same day — usually within a few hours. Once the number and the terms are agreed in writing, nothing else changes.

  2. Escrow.com transaction opened

    We open the transaction on Escrow.com and send you the link. Escrow fees are split 50/50 unless we agree otherwise.

  3. You fund the escrow

    You pay Escrow.com — wire, card or PayPal, depending on the amount. The money sits with them, not with us. We are not paid a cent at this point.

  4. Domain transfer

    We start the transfer the same business day the escrow is funded: an internal push if you hold an account at the same registrar (near-instant), or a standard auth-code transfer otherwise.

  5. You inspect, then funds are released

    Escrow.com gives you an inspection period to confirm the domain is in your account and under your control. Only when you accept does Escrow.com release the payment to us. If something is wrong, the money goes back to you.

Questions we get asked

Which route should I pick?

Dynadot Buy Now if you want a plain checkout at the listed price and are happy holding the name in a Dynadot account — the registrar handles payment and delivery, and we never touch your money.

The direct Escrow.com route if you want roughly 7% off, want to negotiate, need a bundle or an instalment plan, or simply prefer a licensed escrow holding the funds until the name is verifiably yours. Same domain, same seller — just no marketplace in the middle.

Why does a domain cost this much?

You are not paying for a string of characters — you are paying for a brand that is already viable. Every name here is a one-word or two-word .com that passes the radio test: hear it once, spell it right, type it correctly.

Casino and iGaming .com names in this style change hands in the $1,650–$5,000 range on brokered marketplaces, and the good ones do not come back. Our prices are set from actual comparable sales, not from a wish list.

It is also a one-time cost against a permanent asset. Compare it with what a single month of paid acquisition costs an operator: the domain is cheaper, it does not expire, and it can be resold.

How long does the transfer take?

It depends on the route and the registrars involved. A Dynadot marketplace purchase is delivered by Dynadot into your Dynadot account as part of checkout. On a direct deal, registrar-internal pushes complete in minutes; auth-code transfers between registrars take longer. We start the same business day the escrow is funded and stay on it until the name is in your account.

The only common delay is a 60-day ICANN transfer lock on a recently registered or recently transferred domain. If that applies to a name you are buying, we will tell you before you fund anything, and we can push the domain into an account you create at the current registrar instead.

Do you offer instalments or a lease?

Yes, by request — on the direct route. For names above $2,000 we can split the price into 6–12 monthly payments, or set up a lease-to-own where you use the domain from day one and take ownership with the final payment.

Instalment plans run through Escrow.com's milestone flow, so the arrangement is protected on both sides. The domain stays in a locked holding account until the plan is complete. Ask in the offer form — mention the term you have in mind.

What exactly do I receive?

The domain itself, transferred into a registrar account you control, plus the SVG wordmark shown on the listing page. No hosting, no website, no trademark registration — the name is a clean asset with no prior use attached.

Bundle listings (two spellings of the same brand, for example the singular and the plural) are sold together as a single lot so that nobody else can run the other spelling against you. Bundles close through the direct Escrow.com route.

Can I get a broker or another marketplace involved?

Every name is already listed on the Dynadot marketplace, so you can buy through the registrar directly. If you prefer Afternic or Sedo, we can list the name there for your transaction — it costs you nothing extra, though the marketplace's own checkout rules apply and it is usually slower than a direct Escrow.com deal.

Is the price negotiable?

Offers are welcome and they are read by a person, not a bot. Low-ball offers are answered honestly rather than ignored — if a name is out of your range we will point you at something in the portfolio that is not.

Escrow.com on every deal

Funds sit with a licensed, independent escrow agent. They are released to us only after the domain is in your account.
