Follow a Sale

There might be a question, or two, for a new domain buyer, on how to buy a domain. This page is for them.

With millions and millions of pages, the Internet is quite impressive. Websites, social media, and information are always available at the touch of a finger. We use it daily, and most people do not even consider how it works.

Luckily, there are professional organizations and domain brokers who, with their service, see that a domain purchase and transfer go smoothly.

First, you must register with a domain registrar; they can act on your behalf and transfer the domain into your name.

One such entity is the domain registrar like sedo. While there are hundreds of domain marketplaces worldwide, sedo offers its online and phone service in several languages besides English and German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and more. So pick the registrar you like best.

Payment

The professional service at any domain broker gives you peace of mind because they take the buyer by hand, guide them through the domain purchase, and care for your hosting needs.

However, your payment does not go to the domain seller immediately. Instead, it goes into escrow so that nobody can touch it. Your money is still yours and will only go to the seller once the domain transfers into your name.

So now, with your $1000 in escrow, the domain seller will be asked to release the domain from their registrar. That is when he tells his registrar the domain has been sold and removes it.

You have nothing to do but sit back and relax while the domain broker (Sedo, GoDaddy, whoever) does the 'paperwork' and keeps you updated on the sale and transfer process.

Domain Transfer

A domain transfer is an electronic transfer, and you never see it. It is a piece of cyber property, now registered in your name.

As you have registered with a domain broker and submitted your address and email, the domain was recorded in your name.

ICANN is the U.S. agency in charge of 'keeping the records.' So while we talk about who it is, let me point your interest to one of the best URLs for any domain inquiry.

Whois can tell who owns the domain, when and with whom it was registered, and when it expires.

Since May 25, 2018, whois might not be available due to the EU Commission's privacy regulation.

As the domain's new owner, you will be listed there, too, unless you choose to have that information listed as 'private.'

To do this, buy 'privacy' from the broker where your domain is now registered, and no one, but you, will know who owns the domain. Congratulation, you are now the owner of a valuable piece of internet real estate.
