Buying a domain someone else already owns — often called an aftermarket or premium domain — involves more risk than a standard new registration.
Verify Real Ownership
Check the domain's WHOIS record and ask the seller to prove control, such as by temporarily adding a specific DNS record you request.
Use an Escrow Service
For any significant purchase, a domain escrow service holds payment until the transfer is confirmed complete, protecting both buyer and seller from a bad-faith transaction.
Check for Trademark Issues
A domain's history matters — confirm it isn't tied to a trademark dispute or previously used for something that could create legal or reputational baggage for you.
