When buying or selling high-value domain names, security, trust, and transparency are critical. PRAXIS offers professional domain name escrow services, ensuring that your domain escrow transactions are handled safely and efficiently by a professional, neutral third party. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or broker, our customizable domain escrow agreements provide a secure way to facilitate high value domain transfers, protect your interests, and reduce risks.
What is Domain Name Escrow?
Domain name escrow is a secure service that acts as an impartial intermediary between buyers and sellers during the transfer of a domain name. By using a professional, neutral third-party escrow service like PRAXIS, you can ensure that the domain name is securely held until all agreed-upon conditions are met. Domain escrow services are crucial in protecting both parties from potential fraud, miscommunication, or disputes that may arise during high-value domain transactions.
How Does Domain Name Escrow Work?
Our domain name escrow process is straightforward and designed to protect your investment:
Agreement Initiation: The buyer and seller agree to use PRAXIS. They sign a customizable domain escrow agreement that outlines the specific terms and conditions, including payment, transfer timelines, payment obligations, release conditions and any contingencies.
Domain Deposit: The seller transfers the domain name(s) into PRAXIS’ registrar account, ensuring that the domain is held safely and remains locked until the transaction is completed.
Secure Payment: The buyer submits the payment directly to the seller or to PRAXIS. When PRAXIS holds the funds they are securely held until the domain name transfer conditions are met.
Transfer Execution: Once payment is confirmed, PRAXIS facilitates the transfer of the domain name from the seller to the buyer. The domain name is transferred directly to the buyer’s registrar account under our supervision. Some domain name escrows are short term and take only days to complete. Other domain name escrow agreements may last for years in the case where the buyer is making payments over time.
Finalization: After the buyer confirms receipt of the domain, PRAXIS Technology Escrow releases the funds to the seller, completing the domain escrow process.
Why Do You Need Domain Name Escrow?
Using a domain escrow service is essential for anyone buying or selling valuable domain names:
Risk Mitigation: Protects against scams, fraud, and disputes by ensuring that both parties fulfill their obligations before the transaction is completed.
Peace of Mind: Both buyers and sellers gain confidence knowing that the transaction is being handled by a professional, neutral third party.
Efficiency: Streamlines the complex transfer process, reducing the time and effort required to complete high-value domain transactions.
