Domain Escrow
A secure service where a neutral third party holds payment until the domain transfer is complete.
Domain escrow is a secure transaction service where a neutral third party holds the buyer's payment until the domain is successfully transferred to the buyer, then releases funds to the seller. Escrow protects both parties from fraud. Escrow.com is the most widely used domain escrow service, recommended by ICANN. Most major domain marketplaces (Sedo, Dan.com) have built-in escrow. For private sales, always use a reputable escrow service.
