Handle Domain Sales & Leases

What happens after your domain is sold or leased?

When a buyer purchases or begins a lease on one of your domains, Deqo manages the transaction through its escrow process and guides both parties through the transfer.

When a Sale Begins

After a buyer completes checkout, Deqo verifies the payment before notifying you.

Once payment has been verified and escrow has opened:

  • The sale appears in your account.

  • You receive notification that action is required.

  • Deqo provides instructions for transferring the domain.

Your Responsibilities as a Seller

To help ensure a smooth transaction, you should:

  • Follow the transfer instructions provided by Deqo.

  • Respond promptly to any requests related to the transfer.

  • Keep the domain under your control until instructed otherwise.

During an active transaction, do not:

  • Transfer the domain to another party.

  • List the domain for sale elsewhere.

  • Make changes that could interfere with the transfer process.

Transferring the Domain

The transfer method depends on where the domain is currently registered.

In some cases, the domain may be pushed between accounts at the same registrar. In others, an authorization code (EPP code) transfer may be required.

Deqo will provide the appropriate instructions based on the domain and registrar involved.

Once Deqo receives and verifies the domain, the transfer process continues automatically.

Lease-to-Own Transactions

For lease-to-own transactions:

  • The domain is transferred to a Deqo-controlled trust account for the duration of the lease.

  • The buyer makes payments according to the lease agreement.

  • Ownership transfers to the buyer after all required payments have been completed.

  • If the lease is cancelled or defaults, the domain may be returned to the seller.
