Domain guides
Practical guides for buying, valuing and transferring domains, written from the same registry data the analyser uses.
How to buy a domain that is already taken
Most good names are registered. That does not mean they are unavailable, it means there is a person on the other side and a price to be found.
Work out who holds a name, whether it is genuinely for sale, and how to open a conversation that does not blow up the price.Escrow and safe domain transfer
Buying a domain from a stranger means sending money to someone you cannot verify, for an asset you cannot hold. Escrow exists so neither side has to go first.
Understand how escrow works, what a clean transfer looks like, and the specific moments where deals go wrong.Choosing a domain extension
The extension is not decoration. It changes what people expect, what they type from memory, and what you pay every year for the rest of the brand's life.
Pick an extension deliberately, with the renewal cost and the recall problem both in view.How domain expiry and dropping actually work
An expiry date is not a release date. Between the day a domain expires and the day anyone else can register it, there is a fixed sequence that most people misread.
Read a domain's status codes correctly and know when a name is genuinely about to become available.What a domain is really worth
Automated appraisals produce a number in seconds. Understanding where that number comes from is what stops you overpaying or walking away from a bargain.
Separate the factors that genuinely move a domain's price from the ones that only look impressive.
