Escrow
A neutral third-party service that holds a buyer's funds until domain, asset, and account transfer are confirmed complete on both sides.
Escrow is a neutral third-party arrangement used to protect both sides of a digital property transaction. The buyer's funds are held by the escrow service until the seller confirms transfer of the domain, hosting, analytics access, and any other included assets ... and the buyer confirms everything was received as described.
We recommend using a reputable, purpose-built escrow provider for any acquisition rather than a direct wire transfer, particularly for domain-only or pre-revenue sales where there is little transaction history to fall back on.
