Your Purchasing Options
1. Secure Transactions with Escrow.com
For all direct purchases and flexible payment plans, we utilize Escrow.com. This service acts as a secure, neutral third party, protecting both the buyer and seller throughout the transaction process.
Buy Now via Escrow.com
Opting for "Buy Now" means a straightforward, secure single payment through Escrow.com.

- Domain Transfer: Upon verification, GoatNames.com initiates the transfer of the domain name to your designated registrar.
- Buyer Acceptance: You confirm receipt and full control of the domain to Escrow.com.
- Funds Release: Only after your confirmation, Escrow.com releases the funds to GoatNames.com. This guarantees you receive your domain before we receive payment.
Lease to Own (LTO) via Escrow.com
Our "Lease to Own" program makes premium domains more accessible with flexible monthly installments, all managed securely by Escrow.com. This option is available for domains priced from $500.
- Agreement: We establish a clear agreement on the total price and a manageable monthly payment schedule.
- Secure Holding: Escrow.com holds the domain securely throughout the payment term.

Note: Buyer typically covers domain-holding escrow fees for Lease to Own agreements.
2. Make an Offer
If you have a different budget in mind, many of our domains are open to offers. This allows you to negotiate a price that works for you.
- Submit your offer through the domain listing page.

How Does Domain Name Ownership Work?
Once the domain name is transferred into your account at a registrar of your choice, you become the official registrant with all the rights and responsibilities that come with domain name ownership. You can manage features like DNS, URL forwarding, and more. You're free to transfer your GOAT name to any registrar you prefer after purchase.
