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.

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.

Does Domain Broker Service guarantee that I’ll obtain the domain name I want?

How do you charge for the Domain Broker Service?
We charge an initial Domain Broker Service fee to start the domain buy process and if the domain name is successfully purchased, a 20% Buyer Broker fee will be added to the domain purchase price.
The registrant is interested in selling their domain name. Now what?
If the domain owner is willing to sell their domain name to you, your domain name broker will start negotiating 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 counter offer that was presented by the seller.

How do you contact the domain name registrant?
After you provide a budget range, we check the Registrant and Administrative Contacts listed for that domain name in the WhoIs database. More often than not, the registrant or administrative contact either owns the domain name or knows who does. Your domain broker will reach out to the owner by email or phone.
If the contact information associated with the domain doesn’t lead us to the owner, your domain name broker will only use publicly listed information to contact the him or her on your behalf.

How do I move the domain name that I purchased into my account?
Now that the domain name is yours, let’s move it into your 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 domain name isn’t acquired?
If we are unable to contact the domain owner to sell their domain name, then we cannot move forward to acquire the domain name for you. Your domain broker will close your claim after 30 days or after the domain owner decides not to sell their domain name.
What is Domain Broker Service vs Domain Buy Service?
The GoDaddy Domain Buy Service is now called the Domain Broker Service. We still offer the same great service for you to buy a domain name that is taken. We launched the Domain Buy Service in 2006 and through the years we have helped customers buy domains that were already owned by someone else. Don’t be discouraged if your domain is taken. So try the Domain Buy Service…we mean Domain Broker Service today!
