Questions, answered.

Completely. Every acquisition is protected by a neutral escrow service. Your payment is held securely and only released once the name has provably transferred into your control. Neither side has to act on faith — that is the entire point of escrow, and we use it on every single deal without exception.

Most are owned directly by Nameups (STARSHAPE LTD). A smaller, vetted number are listed by partner owners who have applied to sell through us. In every case, the listing you see is genuine, the price is real, and the transfer is handled through the same secure process.

Large acquisitions are settled through escrow, which supports bank wire and major cards depending on the amount and jurisdiction. For smaller transactions and fresh registrations via domainture.com, standard secure card checkout applies. We will always confirm the exact method before you pay anything.

Always. Serious acquisitions are private matters and we treat them that way. Your identity, budget and intentions are never shared, sold or used for anything beyond helping you acquire the name.

Into your own registrar account — Dynadot, domainture.com, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, anywhere you prefer. You control DNS, email routing, renewals and any future sale. A domain lives at a registrar, never on a website's server, so owning it means owning the account record — which becomes entirely yours.

Most names move within minutes once payment clears escrow, via a registrar "push" or an authorisation code. A few extensions impose a waiting period set by the registry, which can add a little time. We guide you through every step and confirm when it is complete.

No. If you have a registrar account, we can usually push the name straight to it. If you do not, we will help you set one up — domainture.com makes this simple — and walk you through accepting the transfer.

Yes. Once a name is in your account it is yours outright, to use, hold or sell. Many of the best domains are long-term assets; what you do with yours is entirely your decision.

Yes. Use the "Make an offer" button on any name. Offers are private, carry no obligation, and are answered personally — usually within 24 hours. A fair, well-reasoned offer is always worth making.

By the fundamentals that move domain value: extension (.com and short .io command the most), length, real-word or brandable quality, memorability and current market demand. We price to reflect genuine worth, not to anchor high and haggle down.

For many premium names, yes — lease-to-own style instalments can make a five- or six-figure name reachable without a single upfront cheque. Ask about a specific name and we will tell you what is possible.

Often, yes. We accept a limited number of exceptional names from outside owners, either on a success commission or via a listing-fee option. Visit our "Sell your domain" page to apply; we review every submission personally.

Absolutely. Use "Find a Domain" to search live availability across the internet. When you find an available name you love, you can register and manage it through domainture.com, our partner registrar, in your own secure account.

It is our partner registrar — think of it as the place fresh names are registered and managed, the way you would use GoDaddy or Namecheap, but integrated with Nameups. When you register an available name through us, that is where it lives and where you control it.

An ancient numerology system, popularised by the astrologer Cheiro, that assigns a value to each letter and reduces a word to a single number and archetype. We compute it for every name purely as brand storytelling and a little extra meaning.

Enjoy it as flavour, not fact. It is not financial, legal or investment advice. Choose a name because it is the right name — short, memorable, brandable, on the right extension. If you also like its frequency, consider that a happy bonus.
