How Namearch Works
A verified marketplace where every seller proves DNS ownership and every payment is secured by Escrow.com.
Buying a Domain
Find your domain
Search by keyword, TLD, category, or price range. Filter by verification status, sale mode, and more. Every listing shows the seller's verification status upfront.
Buy Now or Make an Offer
Fixed-price domains can be purchased instantly with Buy Now. For negotiable listings, submit your offer — the seller can accept, decline, or counter directly on the platform.
Pay securely via Escrow.com
Your payment is held by Escrow.com — the industry standard since 1999. Namearch never holds buyer funds. The seller cannot access your payment until the domain is transferred.
Receive your domain
The seller transfers the domain to your registrar account via auth code. Once you confirm receipt, Escrow.com releases the funds to the seller. Done.
Selling a Domain
Add your domain
Enter your domain name (or bulk import via CSV). We generate a unique verification token — either a TXT record or CNAME — for DNS verification.
Verify ownership
Add the DNS record to your domain. Namearch checks via Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS — verification takes seconds once DNS propagates. CNAME and TXT methods both supported.
Create your listing
Choose Fixed Price, Make Offer, or both. Set a Buy Now price, minimum offer, or reserve price. Add a pitch and category. Your listing goes live immediately.
Get paid
When a buyer purchases or an offer is accepted, funds are escrowed. Transfer the domain, the buyer confirms, and Escrow.com sends your payment minus the marketplace commission. Escrow.com may charge its own fees separately.
Why Namearch is different
DNS-Verified Ownership
Every seller proves they control the domain's DNS before listing. No fake listings, no bait-and-switch. Buyers can trust that every listing is legitimate.
Escrow.com Secured
All payments flow through Escrow.com — the industry standard for domain transactions. Buyer funds are held securely until the domain transfer is confirmed.
Low Commissions
No listing fees, no monthly subscriptions, no contracts. Pay just 7.75% on fixed-price sales or 9.75% on offers and auctions — well below what most competitors charge.
AI Domain Valuations
Every listing includes an AI-generated fair market value estimate. Our valuation engine considers TLD weight, domain length, pronounceability, keyword clarity, and category to provide a confidence-scored price range.
