Structured for corporate finance, legal counsel, and IT security teams.
Acquiring a corporate domain should read like any other capital asset purchase: a clear bill of sale, a licensed independent escrow agent holding funds until delivery is verified, and a zero-downtime technical handover.
How Escrow.com protects both sides
Every placement settles through Escrow.com, a licensed and regulated corporate escrow service used for corporate domain transfers worldwide. The buyer never wires money directly to Nordmark Advisory.
- Step 1: Buyer and Seller agree to transaction terms on Escrow.com.
- Step 2: Buyer wires or ACH-transfers funds to Escrow.com's trust account.
- Step 3: Escrow.com verifies cleared funds and instructs Nordmark to transfer the domain.
- Step 4: Buyer's IT administrator confirms the domain is inside Buyer's own registrar account (e.g., Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, GoDaddy Corporate, MarkMonitor, Namecheap).
- Step 5: Only after Buyer clicks “Accept” or WHOIS custody is confirmed does Escrow.com release funds to Nordmark.
Two ways companies deploy a newly acquired .com
Acquiring the exact-match .com does not require rebuilding your website or disrupting employee email boxes on day one. Companies typically choose one of two routes:
Route A — Protective 301 Redirect & Mail Catch (15 minutes): You keep your current site and email exactly as they are. The new .com is configured in your registrar to 301-redirect all web visitors to your current domain and forward any misdirected emails to your postmaster or primary aliases.
Route B — Primary Domain Cutover: Your new .com becomes the canonical root for your website and primary email address, while your previous modifier domain 301-redirects seamlessly so zero search equity or old email links are lost.
