Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about domains, services, payments, and transfers.
General
What is OTCdomain?
OTCdomain is a London-based agency that sells premium domains from its own portfolio, runs done-for-you cold email campaigns, and builds custom websites. We offer a curated portfolio of brand and business names available for immediate purchase at fixed prices.
Who owns the domains listed on OTCdomain?
We own every domain in our portfolio, so you buy from the owner. We also source and negotiate domains we do not own, on request.
Can I sell or list my domain on OTCdomain?
OTCdomain does not accept third-party domain listings for all products. However, on certain listing types, you can list your domain for sale on OTCdomain. Please contact our team for more information about eligibility and the listing process.
How do I search for a domain name?
You can use the search bar on our website to find the perfect domain name for your business or brand. Browse by keyword, industry, or price range to explore our curated portfolio.
Can I make an offer on a domain?
Yes. If you would like to make an offer on a domain, you can submit your offer through the listing page. If your offer is accepted, we will email you back with further instructions to complete the purchase.
Is my purchase confidential?
Absolutely. The sale of a domain name is never publicised. Upon purchase, the domain is promptly removed from our website, and a no-index request is sent to Google to remove the relevant page and logo images from search results. Address details you provide are confidential and not publicly connected to your domain. Following the transfer, the previous owner's information is deleted from the global WHOIS database.
Do you have a referral or partner programme?
Yes, two. The Referral programme is free to join and pays up to 5% on every sale. The Partner programme is for agencies and consultants who refer regularly; it pays 10% from day one and 15% once approved. See /referral and /partners.
How do I contact OTCdomain for support?
You can reach our team via the contact form on our website or by consulting with an OTCdomain expert. We are happy to answer your questions and guide you through the domain buying process.
Do you own the domains you sell?
Yes. Every domain in our portfolio belongs to us. You buy from the owner. We also source and negotiate domains we do not own, on request.
How fast is the transfer?
We push the domain to your registrar account within 24 hours of payment. Not transferred? Full refund.
Domains
What is a premium domain name?
Premium domain names are the digital real estate of the modern era. Just as physical location is crucial for brick-and-mortar businesses, a premium domain is essential for success in the online world. Premium domains enhance brand recognition and credibility — users who come across a website with a premium domain are more likely to trust the platform and perceive it as a reputable source.
Are the domains unique?
Our names are carefully crafted to be unique, suggestive, and unforgettable. While it is uncommon for any domain name to be entirely unique globally, what is 100% unique is the domain itself. When you purchase a domain from OTCdomain, you become the sole authorised owner of that domain and the exclusive business in the world permitted to use the name with that acquired domain extension.
Does the domain come with a logo?
Yes. A complimentary logo and free WHOIS privacy protection are included with every domain purchase.
Does the domain come with a trademark or business registration?
No. Premium domains do not come with trademark or business registration. Domains can be used across different industries and countries, while trademarks and business registrations are specific to a particular country and industry. We strongly recommend conducting your own research to ensure there are no trademark conflicts within your industry and country before purchasing.
Does purchasing one domain include other domain extensions (gTLDs)?
No. Your purchase is strictly for the specific domain indicated on your invoice from OTCdomain. If you require other gTLD extensions of the same name (e.g., .net, .org), you will need to purchase those separately.
How quickly can I access the domain after purchase?
We push the domain to your registrar account within 24 hours of payment. Most transfers complete sooner. Once it appears in your registrar account you can change DNS immediately.
Where will my domain be transferred after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, we’ll email you a Transfer Authorization Code you can use to move the domain to any registrar. Once transferred, you’ll be able to manage DNS settings and connect the domain to your website immediately.
Can I transfer my domain to another registrar?
Yes, you may transfer the domain to any registrar or hosting company.
What is OTCdomain's Buyer Protection Guarantee?
Our Buyer Protection Guarantee ensures that all domain purchases are fully backed. We typically initiate the domain transfer within one business day of purchase. In cases where we are unable to complete the transfer, we will provide a 100% refund.
Can I lease a domain instead of buying it outright?
Yes. Many of our premium listings offer a lease-to-own option. You pay an agreed monthly amount over a fixed term, with the domain held securely in the interim, and you can exercise a buy-out to take full ownership. Look for the "Lease" option on an individual domain listing, or contact us to structure a plan.
What do the "Verified Domain" and "Verified Seller" badges mean?
A Verified Domain badge means we have confirmed the domain is clean, correctly registered, and eligible for transfer. A Verified Seller badge means the seller's identity and ownership have been checked. Both are part of our effort to keep every listing on OTCdomain safe and legitimate.
Services
Does OTCdomain offer website development services?
Yes. OTCdomain offers professional website development services. We handle the technical side so you can focus on your vision. We go beyond templates to build custom, one-of-a-kind websites tailored to your brand.
Does OTCdomain offer logo design?
Yes. A complimentary logo is included with every domain purchase. Our design team creates a logo that complements your domain name and brand identity.
Can OTCdomain help me find the right domain for my business?
Absolutely. Our team of experts specialises in guiding businesses and individuals through the process of finding the ideal domain. You can consult with an OTCdomain expert who will answer your questions and recommend domains that best match your brand, industry, and goals.
What are your domain + service bundles?
Bundles combine a website build, SEO, branding, or crypto services into a single discounted package so you can go from domain to launched brand in one step. Browse them on our Bundles page, or use Build-a-Bundle to assemble your own mix of services and get a custom quote.
Do you need a quote for web development?
No. Every package has a published price. You send a brief, we confirm scope, and you pay only when you approve.
Payments
What payment methods does OTCdomain accept?
OTCdomain accepts PayPal, all major debit/credit card, and bank wire transfers.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. OTCdomain offers flexible and affordable payment plans on most domains. You can secure your domain by spreading the purchase price over monthly, interest-free instalments. Contact our team or visit the domain listing for payment plan options.
Is my purchase protected?
Yes. All purchases are covered by our Buyer Protection Guarantee. Buyer pays at checkout. We push the domain to your registrar within 24 hours of payment. If the transfer cannot be completed for any reason, you receive a full refund.
Is there a fee when requesting a refund?
Yes. Refunds are subject to a 5% cancellation fee to cover the cost of our payment gateway and transaction processing.
Can I pay via cryptocurrency?
Yes we accept crypto. Please contact OTCdomain directly to enquire about cryptocurrency payment options, as availability may vary.
Cold Email
Is the pilot really free?
Yes. No card. No invoice. If you stop on day 14, you owe nothing.
Who writes the emails?

What happens after 14 days?
