Why buy a domain name?
The notion of “first come, first served” has generated many drifts in the world of domain names.
This characteristic has created a “second market” dedicated to the repurchase of domain names since the 1990s.
Whether the domain name is for sale or not, we negotiate for you anonymously the recovery of it.
There are several factors to estimate the value and therefore the price of a domain name:
- Domain Name Age
- Extension
- Number of searches that the domain name term(s) generate
- Search Engine Optimization

What is the buyback of a domain name and when is it relevant?
The repurchase of a domain name consists of acquiring a domain already registered by a third party, usually to secure a more relevant web address, strengthen a brand or recover a strategic name before it expires. This approach is particularly interesting when a name is short, memorable or already associated with an activity consistent with your project, because it can accelerate your visibility and make your online presence credible. Before acting, it is essential to evaluate the real value of the domain, its history and its commercial potential in order to formulate a fair offer and avoid excessive spending. As a domain name registrar, we accompany you every step of the way to simplify decision-making, secure the transaction and quickly set up your services
How to know if a domain name is for sale or redeemable?
To determine whether a domain name is for sale or redeemable, it is first necessary to analyze a few simple elements: an inactive page,
a site under maintenance, an imminent expiration or the absence of usable content may indicate an opportunity.
The best approach is then to verify the public information of the domain, identify its owner and estimate its strategic interest in your activity.
If the name corresponds to your brand, a keyword searched or a short and memorable address, it may be worth starting a buyback process.
As a domain name registrar, we help you assess the potential of the domain, and secure your acquisition.
What other remedies can be used to recover ownership of a domain name?
Faced with the “first come, first served” rule, it is not uncommon for the name on which you are interested to be already registered by a third party in good faith or fraudulently.
Depending on the state of the name, your rights to it and your budget, several recovery solutions are possible. Depending on your rights, we will advise you on the most suitable procedure.
- The back order:
Many domain names are not renewed, voluntarily or not.
When a domain name is not renewed, it falls back into the public domain. Everyone is then likely to re-deposit the domain according to the “first come, first served” rule.The “BackOrder” allows you to place an “order” for our robots to re-register the domain name at the very moment it becomes available.
- Extra-judicial proceedings:
To combat abusive trademark registration or cybersquatting, UDRP out-of-court procedures have been put in place. Economical, efficient and fast, they allow you to resolve disputes over domain names provided that the complainant can demonstrate:
-
That the domain name is identical or similar to the brand, detrimental to it;
-
That the domain name holder has no legitimate interest in the domain name;
-
That the holder uses the domain name in bad faith.
