Premium Domains
Acquire the Domain You Actually Want
Premium domain brokerage for businesses that can't afford second-best. Valuation, negotiation, escrow, and transfer — handled end to end.
Context
What Counts as a Premium Domain?
Not all taken domains are the same. There are three categories we help with.
Aftermarket domains
Previously registered names that have expired or are being resold privately. These often have existing backlinks, brand equity, or memorable keyword combinations.
Registry premium names
Short, high-value names that registries designate as premium at registration time. Prices are set by the registry itself and are typically higher than standard registration fees.
Private-sale domains
Domains where the current owner is open to offers but hasn't listed publicly. Acquisition requires direct outreach, negotiation, and escrow handling.
Process
How Premium Brokerage Works
From your first inquiry to domain in your account — a fully managed process.
1
Submit your target domain
Tell us the domain name(s) you want. Include your intended use case, budget range, and deadline. We'll do an ownership and valuation check within one business day.
2
Valuation and strategy
We provide a current market valuation based on comparable sales, domain age, backlink profile, and keyword metrics. We recommend a negotiation approach: direct approach, broker intermediary, or auction placement.
3
Outreach and negotiation
We contact the owner on your behalf (anonymised if preferred) and negotiate terms. You approve any offer before it is submitted. No surprises on price.
4
Secure transfer and escrow
Once a price is agreed, funds are held in escrow. The domain is transferred to your account before escrow is released to the seller. You are protected throughout.
Use Cases
Who This Is For
Rebranding
Your ideal brand name is taken. We help you acquire it through negotiation rather than settling for a compromise.
Brand protection
A competitor or opportunist holds a variation of your brand domain. We handle outreach and defensive acquisition.
SEO asset acquisition
Expired domains with strong backlink profiles are valuable for SEO. We identify, vet, and acquire them for you.
Investment portfolio
Building a domain portfolio for future sale? We source names with strong resale fundamentals and manage the registrar side.
FAQ
Premium Domain Questions
How much does brokerage cost?
Our brokerage fee is a percentage of the final acquisition price, typically 10–15% depending on deal size. There is no upfront fee for valuation or outreach. We only earn on success.
How long does a premium domain acquisition take?
Simple cases where the owner is responsive can close in 3–7 days. Contested names or private negotiations typically take 2–6 weeks. Auction-listed domains have fixed closing dates.
What if the owner won't sell?
Some owners are not motivated to sell at any price. In that case, we advise on alternative domain strategies — whether that's a variation, a different TLD, or a rebranding approach.
What payment methods are accepted?
We process acquisitions in NGN and USD. Funds are held in escrow until the transfer completes. We do not release payment until you confirm receipt of the domain.
