Domain Agents notes that shorter domains or domains containing fewer words are considered more valuable and single word domains can be very valuable. We recommend that you do a little research on comparable domains so you go in with a good offer. The minimum offer you can present is $199. But if the current owner is interested, Domain Agents will help facilitate a negotiation between you and the domain owner and hopefully you’ll be able to come to an agreement on a fair price for the domain. If the current owner isn’t interesting in selling, Domain Agents will let you know. With the help of Domain Agents, we now also provide you with an option to see if the current owner of the domain might be willing to part with it.įor $19.95US (a big discount off their regular fee of $49.95US), Domain Agents will do all the leg work to track down the owner of the domain and present your offer to them to buy the domain. They do things a bit differently and we think it’s a really nice fit with how we run our business. That’s why we decided to partner with a company called Domain Agents instead. Of course, not all domains are for sale, and not all domain owners are willing to part with their domain at any price. We’ve been selling these “premium domains” for a few years now and tons of Hover customers have been able to get the exact domain they wanted for a fair price. Sometimes the domain you want will be listed for sale, in which case you’ll see it listed in the search results with a yellow star next to the name and a price set by the current owner. No perfect domain…no site…no idea realized. Hover checks and tells you that is taken.

You head over to Hover and check to see if you can register it. Let’s say you came up with a idea and you wanted to have the domain “” for your new website. That’s why we don’t offer so-called “backorders” – because they rarely, if ever, result in you getting the domain.

The reality of these types of services is that the registrar happily takes your money and, in most cases, the current owner never lets the domain expire. You may have noticed that other registrars offer a variety of services where you pay them some amount of money in return for them promising to try and grab a domain if it ever expires. It’s something we’re trying out as part of our ongoing efforts to help you find the perfect domain name for your idea or project. If you’ve searched for a specific domain name at Hover recently, you may have noticed a new option on the results page: Make an offer on this domain.
