Buyer FAQ
How do I buy a premium domain from BuyStartupDomains?
Use the purchase button on the domain page to open Afternic or Spaceship, as shown on the listing. The purchase happens there, not on this site. Contact the owner about price-on-request names or negotiated terms.
Is the transaction escrow-protected for serious buyers?
Transactions follow the payment, buyer-protection and transfer terms of the provider shown on the listing. For a negotiated or cross-border acquisition, agree the transaction provider with the owner before sending payment.
Can institutions, funds, or venture-backed startups buy directly?
Yes. Institutional buyers, family offices, venture-backed startups, and acquirers routinely purchase through Afternic Corporate or Escrow.com. Wire transfer, invoicing, W-9/W-8BEN, and NDA-covered transactions are all supported. Contact us via the Contact page to route a specific acquisition.
How long does the transfer take after payment clears?
Most premium registrars (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace, and Google Domains successors) support instant push, the domain lands in your account within minutes of Afternic confirming payment. For registrars that require a standard inter-registrar transfer, allow up to 5–7 days per ICANN's transfer window.
Can I lease-to-own instead of paying the full amount upfront?
Eligible listings offer payment plans through their marketplace. Confirm availability, duration, fees and transfer terms for the specific domain before committing.
Are the domains actually owned and available right now?
Yes. Every domain on this site is held in the seller's live portfolio and available for immediate acquisition. There are no drop-catches, aftermarket relistings, or third-party middlemen, the seller is the registrant of record and controls the transfer end-to-end.
How do I make an offer below the listed price?
Use the 'Make Offer' link on any listing to submit a negotiated offer directly. Serious offers on well-matched names are considered on their merits; lowball offers on flagship investment-grade names are generally declined without counter. Response time on inquiries is under 24 hours.
Can I get an acquisition consultation?
Yes. Contact the seller directly for a written acquisition memo, comparables analysis, and a suggested negotiation range on any listed name.
