How the buying process works at GoatNames.com?

Selecting the right Goat Name for your business or project is a significant decision. If you're new to GoatNames.com, this page offers essential information for first-time customers on how the buying process works.

What happens before and after purchasing a domain name from GoatNames.com?

When you purchase a GOAT name from GoatNames.com, you are acquiring exclusive registration rights to that domain name. Here's what happens before and after purchase:

• After you've selected your GOAT name, we guide you to create an account with one of our trusted escrow services, such as dan.com or escrow.com. These platforms ensure a secure transaction by acting as a neutral third party. You can find helpful tips in our FAQs page where we've answered frequently asked questions.
• Once your account is set up, the escrow service secures the transaction. Typically, the domain name transfer process takes one to two days after the payment is confirmed. You can rest assured that your funds are safe until you receive full control of your new domain name.
• After the domain has been successfully transferred to your registrar of choice, you become the official registrant with all the rights and responsibilities that come with domain name ownership. Congratulations on securing your GOAT name!

Typically, you'll gain access to your new domain name within one day of purchase, although domain names bought outside of business hours may be accessible the next business day.

Please note that if your purchase is made through a payment plan, the domain name will have a registrar lock until all payments are completed. This lock prevents transfers until the full balance is paid.

How does domain name ownership work?

Once the domain name is transferred into your account, the registrar will maintain ownership records with the domain name registry. They will also provide the platform for managing your domain, allowing you to handle features like DNS, URL forwarding, and more. You're free to transfer your GOAT name to any registrar of your choice after purchase.
