Buyers

You are buying a domain name. An address on the internet. No website comes with your purchase however once the transfer will be completed you will be free to use the name how you want.

Once we have secured your payment for a domain auction on 48hr, we quickly send you an email with the next steps to transfer the domain ownership to you.
Here is a quick summary of how this process typically works, step by step:
  • Payment secured - Your domain purchase is paid. We hold the funds of the transaction until it is completed and we send you the transfer details.
  • Domain transfer - At this stage, the domain is still in possession of the seller, to gain ownership you have to transfer it to your registrar of choice (e.g.: GoDaddy, NameCheap, Dynadot, ..)
  • Domain arrived - A domain transfer usually takes less than a day but at some registrar the process can take up to 5 days. Once the domain arrives at your registrar, it is yours! You can start using it rightaway.

  • It can seem complicated at first but don't worry; During the entire process, our team is there to help you.

At 48hr, you can safely pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) - All payments are handled by Stripe, a reknown payment gateway, your card details never transit through our servers.
If you are looking for a different payment method, please contact us. We can typically accept wire transfers and crypto on demand.

When you buy a domain from us, you have to pay the transfer fee (which will usually include a year of domain renewal); There are no other fees but don't forget that domain registrations need to be renewed every year, otherwise you risk losing your domain. The current renewal fee for a .com domain is about $10. This depends on your registrar. (See tld-list.com) for a list of registrars and prices.
