Buying a Domain on Efty, Made Easy

Buying a Domain on Efty, Made Easy

You’ve found the domain you want. We make it easy to make it yours.

Buying a premium domain might be unfamiliar, but you don’t need technical knowledge or experience with domain transfers. With Efty.com, you get a straightforward checkout, secure payment through Efty Pay, and a team that guides you from purchase to delivery.

Even buyers with decades of experience appreciate the difference:

“We found a domain we wanted on Efty, supplierX.com, at a fair price, and hit the ‘Buy Now’ button. The process was as smooth, fast and professional as you could wish for!”

Stefan Zwanzger, Founder, ResortX.com

A simple checkout. No account to create.

Getting started takes just your details and a payment. Enter your name, email address, country, and company details if you’re buying for a business, then choose how you’d like to pay.

We support bank wire, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, and iDEAL / Wero. You’ll see the available options at checkout.

There’s no Efty account to create, no password to remember, and no buyer identity-verification process to complete.

We share your transaction information and transfer instructions through our Transfer Communication Center, accessed via a link and a one-time code. There’s nothing else to set up.

You make the payment. We get to work.

Once we receive your payment, you can sit back and relax while our team secures the domain from the seller.

We handle the coordination and arrange for the domain to move into an account controlled by Efty Pay. You don’t have to chase the seller or figure out the transfer process between you.

Your purchase is covered by our Buyer Protection Program, and we pay the seller only after Efty Pay secures your domain. Read more about how Efty Pay protects your purchase.

As soon as we secure your domain, we’ll notify you and provide clear instructions for receiving it.

Your domain, at the registrar you prefer

Already use GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or another registrar? In most cases, we can help you receive your new domain there.

If a temporary transfer restriction or an unsupported extension prevents that, we’ll help you take another route. That usually means creating an account with a suitable registrar, often where the domain is already registered, so we can deliver it there.

You don’t need to know which route will work before buying. We’ll explain your options and guide you through the steps.

Some transfers are more complicated than others. Our job is to make them easy.

Fast transfers, seven days a week

Many of our sellers move quickly once their domain sells. They transfer it to us within hours, sometimes minutes.

On average, it takes well under 24 hours from receiving your payment to securing the domain and providing your transfer instructions. Some purchases are completed all the way into the buyer’s account within hours:

“Buying agendahub.com through Efty was surprisingly fast and stress-free.”

“The Message Center kept me informed at every single step. From payment to completed transfer took less than four hours, same day.”

Vinícius Santos, Founder, AgendaHub

Every purchase is different, so we don’t promise a fixed completion time. Some sellers need a couple of days, and certain registrar transfers take longer. Final delivery also depends on when you follow the instructions and where you choose to receive the domain.

Our team processes payments and transfers seven days a week, including holidays. Your purchase doesn’t have to wait for Monday for us to get to work.

Real people to help you

If you have a question, just ask. Our team is available through email and chat, answering support tickets throughout the day.

Whether this is your first domain purchase or you’ve done it before, we’ll help you understand what happens next and what you need to do. Once the domain has reached your account, you’ll receive confirmation that the transfer is complete.

Sean Miller, founder of Soundza.com, described his experience this way:

“I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy it all was”

“Efty made it all simple and kept us updated at every step.”

You’ve put thought into finding the right domain. We’re here to make buying it the easy part.

Lease to Own lets you start using a domain name while paying toward ownership in monthly installments.

Choose Your Company Name and Domain Together

Choose a company name and its domain together, not as separate decisions made weeks apart. Better still, start by exploring domains you can actually buy within your budget, then build a shortlist of names you like. Consider how the opposite approach can play out. The founders have spent weeks brainstorming. A shortlist became a favorite.
