A domain for sale pagethat shows the history, not a pitch.

Most domain for sale pages carry the name and the words "make an offer", and stop there. A serious buyer then spends a week finding out what the page left out. We write the page that already answers it.

The page is a single URL, usually on the name itself or on a subdomain of a site you already run. It lists the facts a buyer checks during domain due diligence before buying: who the registrar is, when the registration expires, which EPP status codes are set, whether DNSSEC is signed, where the nameservers point, whether any mail records are live, and how old the name is. Then it states the history. What the Wayback Machine shows the name hosted in 2011 and in 2019. Whether the name has appeared on a spam blocklist. Whether it changed owner, and roughly when.

Every line on the page is something a stranger can verify in ten minutes with a public RDAP lookup or an archive search. That is the point. A buyer who can check your page and finds it accurate stops haggling over trust and starts talking about the price.

For an owner selling a name

You have a name you are not using. Maybe it was a product that closed, maybe a second spelling you registered in 2014 and kept renewing out of habit. You want a buyer to take you seriously without hiring a broker who takes 15 to 20 percent.

We read the name the way a careful buyer would, and we tell you first what we find. If the name spent 2017 hosting a pharmacy spam page, you hear it from us, not from a buyer's lawyer. Then we write the page. It says what you are selling, what condition it is in, and how to contact you. It does not state a valuation. We do not appraise names and any number we gave you would be invented.

• Status block: registrar, created date, expiry date, transfer lock, DNSSEC, nameservers.
• History block: archive snapshots by year, blocklist results, prior use in plain words.
• Transfer block: how the handover works at your registrar and how long the 60-day lock applies afterwards.
• Contact block: your own email, or a form that sends to you. Never to us.

For a buyer checking a name

You found the name you want and the owner wants USD 4,000 for it. Before you send money, you want a domain name check written down by someone with no stake in the sale. That is the buyer report. Same research, written for you and not published.

The failure we see most is boring. The name is real, the owner is real, but the registration expires in 19 days and auto-renew is off, or the name is in redemption and the seller does not know. A domain expiration check would have caught it in thirty seconds. The second most common: the name was used for mass mailing and still sits on one or two blocklists, so your new invoices go straight to spam on day one. We look for both before anything else.

For the full technical teardown of one name, with every EPP code explained, see the domain status check. The buyer report is that check plus the history narrative and a plain list of what to ask the seller.

Escrow, in plain terms

Escrow is a third party that holds the buyer's money until the name has moved. The buyer pays the escrow service. The seller starts the transfer. When the name shows up in the buyer's registrar account, the escrow service releases the money to the seller. If the transfer never arrives, the buyer gets the money back, minus whatever fee the service keeps.

We explain this on the page so neither side has to argue about who goes first. We do not run escrow and we take no cut of the sale. For a name under about USD 500 many people skip escrow and use the registrar's own push between accounts. Above that, use an escrow service you have checked yourself.
