If the domain you want has a .com, .net, .org, .cc, .info, .name, .biz, .tv, .us, .ws, .mobi, .de, am, .fm, .ca, or .me domain extension, but is already registered, you can use our professional Domain Buy Service with your personal Domain Buy Agent to attempt to acquire it for you. Domain Buy Agents make every reasonable attempt to contact the current domain registrant to try negotiating the purchase of the domain for you.

In addition to the Domain Buy Service fee, there is a 10% commission (minimum of $10). You can purchase the Domain Buy Service for a maximum of 30 days. Your purchase is non-refundable and non-transferable. If you want to pursue a different domain instead of the current domain, you must purchase a new request to acquire the domain through the Domain Buy Service.

If we cannot contact the registrant or the registrant refuses to sell, there is no more that we can do to help you acquire the domain. When your Domain Buy Service expires, we make no further attempt to acquire the domain for you.

We consider the services complete when:

  • The Domain Buy Agent made a reasonable, best-effort attempt to contact the current domain registrant, without response, within the appointed period of time.
  • You no longer want to pursue the domain.
  • The current domain registrant refuses your highest offer.
