Where the domain purchase is completed
We curate and list names. We do not run checkout, hold funds, or provide escrow ourselves. Every purchase continues on a partner marketplace linked from the domain page — such as Spaceship, Atom, Afternic, Dynadot, or Sav when that link is present.
How buying works
- Pick a listing — open the domain page and review price, fit, and which partner buttons are shown.
- Continue on the partner — checkout, identity checks, and payment happen on that marketplace, not on DN Detector.
- Never wire DN Detector — there is no on-site cart and we do not ask for direct bank transfers.
- Transfer after clearance — the partner coordinates registrar transfer (auth codes, locks). Timing depends on the venue, often about 5–7 days.
When escrow applies
Escrow means a neutral party holds the buyer’s funds until the domain is transferred. Some marketplace partners include escrow or equivalent buyer protection in their checkout; others may use a faster registrar push without a separate escrow step. Read the partner’s terms for the specific listing before you pay.
If you prefer a standalone escrow service for a private deal, third-party providers such as Escrow.com are a common option — that is separate from DN Detector’s listings.
