101domain is directly integrated with Afternic and Sedo, the world’s leading domain name marketplaces. This partnership allows you to search for, purchase, and manage "Buy Now" aftermarket domains directly through your 101domain account.
What Is an Aftermarket Domain?
An aftermarket domain is a domain name that is already registered and listed for sale by its current owner. These domains appear in our search results labeled as Premium names. Because they are not new registrations, acquiring them involves a transfer process.
Steps to Purchase a Premium Domain
-
Navigate the 101domain website.
-
Enter your desired domain name in the search bar and click Search.
-
A result will appear to let you know if the domain is available for purchase.
-
If the domain is available to purchase now, click on Add to Cart and complete the checkout process.
-
b. For domains without a set price, you can use Sedo’s Make an Offer feature. Click the Make an Offer button to be redirected to Sedo’s site.
If the domain is not available, the result will display as This domain name is unavailable.
-
If you want help negotiating a “Make an Offer” domain, our Corporate Brand Services team can assist. Learn more about our Domain Acquisition Services.
Important Considerations
Please review the following requirements regarding the transfer and verification process for aftermarket domains:
1. Account verification:
For security, purchases over a certain amount may require verification.
-
Confirmation: We may contact you via a support ticket to confirm your purchase and acceptance of the price.
-
Identity Verification: If your account is unverified, you may need to complete account verification before we can proceed with the provider.
2. Transfer timeframes:
The time required to move the domain into your account depends on the domain's status and the registry (TLD) requirements.

Estimated Timeline |
Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Fast Transfer |
1 – 2 Business Days |
Eligible domains move automatically and quickly into your account. |
|
Standard Transfer |
10 – 15 Business Days |
Requires manual coordination. Sellers have 10 days to initiate, and the transfer itself takes 5–7 days. |
3. Registry Requirements
Standard registry requirements apply. If you purchase a country-code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD) or a generic Top Level Domain (gTLD) with specific restrictions, we will contact you to confirm eligibility before transferring the domain.
Transfer locks: If the seller recently registered or transferred the domain, it may be subject to a 60-day ICANN transfer lock. If your purchase is affected by this, our team will notify you immediately.
