Frequently asked questions about premium domain names
Premium domain names are high-quality domains
that have been previously registered but are available for sale
at today's market value. A domain is considered to be high
quality if the name is shorter, regularly searched, closely
associated to the actual service or industry, and typically uses
a TLD such as .com, .net, or .org. Such domains are easier to
spell, easier to remember, and more intuitive.
If you wish to purchase
a specific domain or see if it's available, you can check
the availability of premium domains for sale using the search
bar here on
this page. From there, click the desired domain extension and
proceed with your purchase. If the specific name is not
available, or out of your price range, look at the suggested or
relevant domain names. For example, if you search for "golf.com,"
the results show it is unavailable; however, a similar premium
domain may be available for purchase, such as golf.club.
Once you have paid for your domain and that
payment has been verified, the domain will transfer under your
name within a week's time. Keep in mind that the price you pay
is a one-time charge, however, you will need to renew the domain
registration each year (typically a $10 - $20 fee), or you will
lose the name.
Premium domain names are shorter, more
memorable, and more appealing to a broader audience. They are
typically unique or catchy names that intuitively signal their
subject matter or audience. Specific keywords such as "money" or
"tech" are so popular that quality domain names using those
words may be sparse.
A regular domain name also called a Primary Registration is a
domain name that has never been registered before. For popular
TLDs like .com, its understandable that many names have been
registered previously.
The demand for premium domain names are increasing, and with
that, their prices as well. Prices vary from one premium domain
name to the next depending on the industry, spelling, and trends
in the market. The good news is our Domain experts are happy to
