How do I buy a Premium Domain Name?
Domain name acquisition isn’t as easy as contacting the seller and asking for a price. As you will read below, there’s a lot that goes into acquiring a domain name at the best price. Whether you are starting a new business venture (startup) or looking for a more prestigious targeted domain for an existing brand, we are here to help facilitate your purchase and make the technical transaction as smooth and simple as possible.
Here’s how we are going to get your dream name for you.
EnquireStep 1
Please resist trying to contact the current owner of your dream domain name yourself. We have seen this happen countless times. As soon as you contact the current owner of the domain name, the name officially becomes more important. The domain name owner sees this name suddenly being valuable to the market place. If we then make an enquiry to the owner shortly after, they believe the name is very popular and the price skyrockets. It’s possible to bring it back down, but you generally still end up paying more than if we were to approach the seller with a vague interest from the beginning. Plus, this could cause the whole process to take a lot longer because the seller will be slow in their replies due to wanting to buy some time while they wait for the first person who enquired (you) to maybe come back with a stronger offer.
Step 2
Fill out THIS FORM and answer our carefully-designed questionnaire and pay our initial fee. Our initial up-front fee ensures you are serious about the name and pays for the first few hours we spend, researching the name. The information you provide to us in our form will ensure we know exactly why you want the domain name. It will also allow us to see you meet all the auDA and iCANN policies for transferring ownership to you, before we venture down the treacherous and long-winding technological-path of domain name hunting and acquisition.
Step 3
Using best industry practice, we thoroughly research and debate the best way to approach the seller of the name to ensure a reasonable sale price. A few hours of research is conducted before we make first contact with the seller. Sometimes we find alternative ways to entice the seller to sell the name to us at a good price, including using bartering techniques. These techniques can include things like using other domain names or digital assets to persuade the seller to part with their name, apart from a dollar figure exclusively. Sometimes the current domain name owner is not allowed to own the name in the first place. In this case we walk you through various other technical and legal options to acquire the name.
Step 4
We begin our tried and tested acquisition methods. We guarantee that if the domain name is for sale, we will always get it for a better price than you could get it yourself. We use factual recent domain name sale comparisons to bring the seller’s price back down to reality. This ensures the seller isn’t just creating a price out of thin air because they are unrealistically in love with their own name.
