How DNLaunch works
Listing, verification, and escrow in three steps.
01
List your domain
Set a Buy Now price, enable offers with a floor, and add a description. You control pricing at all times.
02
Verify ownership via NS
Point your domain's nameservers to ns1.dnlaunch.com and ns2.dnlaunch.com. We confirm ownership at the DNS layer — no uploads, no tokens.
03
Close securely
Buyer funds are held in escrow until the domain is pushed to the buyer's registrar. Release triggers automatically on successful transfer.
Aftermarket FAQ
Common questions about the domain aftermarket
What is the domain aftermarket?
The domain aftermarket is the secondary market where already-registered domain names are bought and sold between parties — distinct from initial registration at a registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap. DNLaunch is a premium aftermarket focused on short, brandable, and category-defining domains, with DNS-layer ownership verification and escrow-protected closings.
How does DNLaunch verify that a seller actually owns a domain?
Sellers point their domain's authoritative nameservers to ns1.dnlaunch.com and ns2.dnlaunch.com. DNLaunch queries public DNS resolvers (Cloudflare and Google) to confirm the delegation at the TLD level. If both nameservers match, the listing is verified — no file uploads, TXT records, or tokens required.
What fees does DNLaunch charge to sell a domain?
Nothing up front. DNLaunch charges a flat 10% commission on successful sales. There are no listing fees, no monthly fees, and no charges until a domain actually sells.
How are domain transfers secured?
All Buy Now purchases and accepted offers are held in escrow. Funds are released to the seller only after the domain has been successfully pushed to the buyer's registrar account — never before transfer completes.
Why sell a premium domain on DNLaunch instead of at auction?
Auctions favor urgency over price. The DNLaunch aftermarket uses a Buy Now + Make Offer model — you control pricing at all times, serious buyers reach you directly, and verified DNS ownership builds trust without disclosing your registrar or WHOIS details.
What types of domains does DNLaunch accept?
Any registered domain can be listed once ownership is DNS-verified. The marketplace is optimized for premium extensions (.com, .ai, .io, .net) and short, brandable, or keyword-rich names, but we welcome any TLD.
How long does ownership verification take?
Once you set the nameservers at your registrar, verification is typically confirmed within 15 minutes. DNLaunch queries Cloudflare and Google DNS directly, which pick up registrar-level nameserver changes much faster than typical ISP resolvers. If your first check fails, wait 15 minutes and try again.
