Independent domain brokerage for buyers, sellers, and brand teams.

DomainBrokerage

For founders weighing a name before the sale

If you are sitting on a domain you built a business around, or one you registered years ago and never used, this is where the room helps you decide what to do next. Post the name, the history and your ask, and members will tell you straight.

What founders actually get out of the boards

You bought a name, or you are about to. The forum is where that decision gets tested against real listings, real handovers and people who have already sat through the same registrar queue. Below are the parts founders lean on most.

Still mapping the ground before you post? Start with the board overview or jump straight to appraisal and transfer threads.

  • A straight read on your name

    Post the name with your ask and members reply with comparable sales, not opinions. You find out fast whether the number in your head matches what the aftermarket is actually paying.

  • Handover steps that hold up

    Escrow and transfer walkthroughs for .co.za and .com, in the order that avoids the usual stall between payment release and the name moving across registrars.

  • Outbound that gets a reply

    Threads on approaching end users, reading the first response, and knowing when a low anchor is a test rather than a ceiling. Wording examples included, not just theory.

  • Portfolio housekeeping without guesswork

    Renewals, registrar transfers, WHOIS records and parking or redirect calls. The admin side nobody enjoys, written down so you stop re-deciding it every year.

  • A beginner corner that answers plainly

    First-time buyers ask whether a name is worth keeping and get a yes, a no, or a hold with reasons attached. No gatekeeping, no sales pitch back at you.

You have a name in mind. Put it in front of the room.

Founders usually arrive here mid-decision: a .co.za they registered years ago, a .com they picked up at auction, or a name a client wants to sell. Post it in the appraisal board with your ask and the comps you already found. Members reply with recent sales, registrar notes and the questions a buyer will actually send you.

Registration is free. No pitch, no listing fee to ask.

What the boards actually look like

Three screenshots from the founder side of the forum. Thread lists, appraisal replies and the transfer checklist pages that members keep open in a second tab while a handover is running.

Appraisal board

Comps before opinions

Founders post the name, the ask and two or three recent sales in the same category. Replies stay short and specific, and the thread usually settles within a day.

Escrow and transfer

The .co.za handover order

EPP code, registrar confirmation window, then payment release. The pinned walkthrough flags the two points where buyers go quiet, so you know when to nudge and when to wait.

Backorder queue

Catches, misses and why

A season of drop results grouped by name length and registrar. Useful if you are new to the queue and want to know what a realistic hit rate looks like before you commit.
