How it works.
Buying a premium name should feel effortless and completely safe. Here is exactly how it goes, from the name you want to the keys in your hand.
Buying a name from the collection
Choose your name
Browse the collection or search by category, tag or keyword. Every listed name is one of one - when it sells, it is gone.
Buy now or make an offer
Accept the listed price, or open a private, no-obligation offer. We reply personally, usually within 24 hours.
Pay into escrow
Your payment goes to a neutral escrow service - never directly to a stranger. It is held safely until everything is verified.
The name transfers to you
We push the domain to your registrar account or share the transfer code. You confirm receipt; most moves take minutes.
Escrow releases. It is yours.
Funds release to the seller, the name is fully under your control, and you own an asset that does not get re-made.
Registering a fresh name
Want a brand-new name that nobody owns yet? Use Find a Domain to search live availability. When you find one you like, you register and manage it through domainture.com, our partner registrar - your own secure account for DNS, email, renewals and any future transfer. One search here, full ownership there.
Where does my name actually live?
A common surprise: a domain is never stored on a website\'s server. It lives in an account at a registrar. When you buy from us, the name moves into your registrar account - Dynadot, domainture.com, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, wherever you prefer. From there you point it anywhere, build anything, or simply hold it as the appreciating asset it is. We hand you the keys; the property is entirely yours.
Paying over time: lease-to-own
Pick a plan length
Eligible names can be paid over 12, 24 or 36 months - a small down payment, then equal monthly payments.
Use the name while you pay
You can start building your brand straight away. Terms are confirmed by email before any payment is taken.
Own it outright at the end
When the final payment clears, the name transfers fully to you. No balloon, no surprises.
Selling your own names
Apply to list
Send us the name and your price expectation. We curate, so listings are reviewed before they go live.
We do the selling
Curated placement, a listing page, marketing and buyer outreach - handled. Paid plans add the full Nameups AI toolkit.
You get paid through escrow
On a sale, escrow releases funds to you, less the agreed commission. Pick the plan that fits on the Sell page.
Why curated
Every name is hand-picked. You are choosing from a gallery, not digging through millions of listings.
Safe by default
Escrow on every deal, verified transfers, and a real person on the other end of every message.
