Frequently asked questions

How do I buy a domain?

Click Buy now on any name. You complete the purchase on Afternic's secure checkout (part of GoDaddy), and the domain is transferred to you there. Many names transfer within minutes.

Can I make an offer?

Yes. Click Make offer on the domain's page. Reasonable offers are often accepted straight away; others get a reply, a counter-offer or a decline.

What is lease to own?

Names marked Lease to own can be paid in monthly instalments through Afternic. You can use the domain while you pay, and it becomes fully yours with the final payment.

Do you offer bundles?

Yes, for related names such as the Kaštela pair (kastelavilla.com and villakastela.com). Email [email protected] with the names you're interested in, and you'll get a bundle price.

How is a bundle or direct deal paid safely?

Bundles and direct deals are completed through Escrow.com, a licensed escrow service, so both sides are protected:

1. We agree the names and price, and set up the transaction on Escrow.com.
2. You pay Escrow.com, not the seller. Escrow.com holds the money and confirms it has cleared.
3. The domains are then transferred to you: by a transfer code to your registrar, or by a push to your account at the same registrar.
4. You confirm the domains are in your account, and Escrow.com releases the payment.

You never pay before your payment is protected, and the domains are never released before payment has cleared. Escrow.com's fee is usually shared, or as agreed. We don't accept PayPal or card payments for direct domain sales.

Which currency are prices in?

US dollars. If you pay in another currency, the amount is converted at checkout or by your card provider.

How long does a transfer take?

Afternic's Fast Transfer names can be ready within minutes. Other transfers usually take a few days, depending on your registrar.
