Featured upgrades
Four upgrades that reset how their market saw them
Each of these companies traded a longer, compromised name for the one-word .COM that matched the brand they were already building. Every quote below comes from a founder or executive.
“Buying Tesla.com took over a decade, $11M & amazing amount of effort. Didn’t like teslamotors.com even when we were only making cars”
“Benefits of such domains include instant brand recognition and enhanced marketability.”
“Just like it matters for your brand whether your store is on 5th avenue or in a random alleyway – it matters what your domain is.”
“The single word dotcom effect is real.”

Four reasons the same decision keeps getting made
Across every industry represented on this page, founders point to the same four returns on a premium .COM.
Visitors trust a clean .com before they read a word.
If people can say it once and type it right, they come back.
Illustration: every campaign works harder when the name does too.
Owning the category .com says you lead it.
Three steps from shortlist to transfer
Most premium names are already owned, so buying one is a negotiation rather than a checkout. A broker runs that process for you, anonymously where it helps.
Step 1: Shortlist and value
We map the names that fit your brand, check which are realistically obtainable, and give you a defensible valuation range for each based on comparable sales.
No obligation at this stageStep 2: Approach and negotiate
We contact the owner on your behalf. Staying unnamed keeps the price anchored to the domain's market value rather than to your company's funding round.
Buyer identity stays confidentialStep 3: Escrow and transfer
Funds sit with a licensed escrow agent until the domain lands in your registrar account. Neither side is exposed, and payment plans can be arranged on larger acquisitions.
Escrow on every transaction
