How it Works
-
When you purchase the service, a dedicated broker will help you formulate a strategy and budget to try to acquire your domain.
-
They go to work with the domain owner, trying to get you the lowest possible price. (Don't worry, your identity remains confidential.)
-
If the owner agrees to the sale, you'll pay the negotiated sale price plus a 20% commission. Then the domain is securely transferred to you. GoDaddy handles all the steps of the transaction, giving you peace of mind.
We'll help you find the perfect domain.
Finding the perfect domain name can sometimes be difficult, but our Brokerage Team can get you the right one to propel your brand forward. We have millions of domains for sale, so you have no shortage of options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Domain Broker Service?
Domain Broker Service, formerly called Domain Buy Service, can help you purchase a domain owned by someone else while keeping you anonymous. If the domain owner is willing to sell their domain name to you, your domain name broker will negotiate prices, starting with the minimum price you chose and working up to your maximum offer. After a price is settled on, an offer is made. Offers are valid for as many as 10 business days and cannot be canceled unless you want to accept a counteroffer presented by the seller. Our brokers are domain experts and will do everything they can to make sure they get the domain you want at the lowest price for you.
What are the advantages of using the Domain Broker Service?
Advantages of using the Domain Broker Service include:
- Using GoDaddy’s name creates trust with the potential seller
- You stay anonymous as the buyer
- GoDaddy's experts are familiar with aftermarket pricing to get you the best price
- GoDaddy has a large network you might not have access to, with experience using the tools to make the sale
Does Domain Broker Service guarantee that I'll obtain the domain I want?
We cannot guarantee the acquisition of a domain name, but Domain Broker Service guarantees that a personal domain broker will dedicate up to 30 days to mediate a sale with the domain name’s current owner.
What is the fee for GoDaddy’s Domain Broker Service?
We charge an initial $105.99, non-refundable fee per domain, plus 20% commission based on the price of the sale.
How do I move the domain name that was purchased into my account?
If the domain name was not registered through GoDaddy, then you must purchase and complete a domain name transfer to move it into your account. If the domain name was registered through GoDaddy, then you must accept the domain name into your account via a change of account.
What happens if the broker is unable to acquire the domain?
If we are unable to acquire the domain, the domain broker will close your claim after 30 days or after the domain owner decides not to sell their domain name. The $105.99 fee stands, as it is non-refundable and non-transferrable.
