More than a listing

We help you find, value, secure and launch the right domain. Each service is agreed in writing before we start, with the fee stated up front.

01

Domain brokerage

For the name that's already taken.

Start a brokerage

Found the perfect name, but someone else owns it? We research the registrant, contact them on your behalf without revealing who you are, and negotiate towards your budget. If they agree, the sale completes through escrow and the domain moves into your account.

What's included

  • Ownership and history research
  • Anonymous approach to the owner
  • Negotiation up to your limit
  • Escrow setup and transfer support

How it's priced

  • Success fee, a percentage of the final price
  • Agreed in writing before we start
  • Nothing to pay if the deal doesn't complete
  • A small retainer may apply to high-value names
Good to know. Some owners won't sell at any price, and some don't reply. We can't guarantee an outcome. If we hold or represent a competing name, we'll tell you before we start.
02

Appraisals & reports

Know what a name is worth before you buy, sell or set a price.

Order an appraisal

A written report on a domain's likely market value, with the reasoning behind it. We look at comparable public sales, length and extension, search demand, how easy it is to say and spell, and existing trademarks you should check.

Sample figures for illustration. Each report also lists the comparable sales used and any trademark records worth checking.

What's included

  • Estimated price range with reasoning
  • Comparable public sales
  • Extension, length and demand review
  • Trademark records to check

How it's priced

  • Fixed fee per domain
  • Lower rate for batches
  • Delivered as a PDF
  • Usually within five working days
Important. An appraisal is our professional opinion of likely market value. It isn't a guarantee of what a domain will sell for, a formal valuation for tax, accounting, insurance or legal purposes, or legal advice on trademarks. We don't appraise our own listings for buyers.
03

Naming & domain strategy

For new companies and products.

Book a consultation

We help you choose a name you can actually own. That means checking the domain, the main extensions and social handles, and planning which variations to register so nobody can copy you with a look-alike.

What's included

  • Name shortlist with availability
  • Extension and handle plan
  • Look-alike and typo protection
  • Budget for buying a taken name

How it's priced

  • Fixed project fee
  • Or an hourly consultation
  • Quoted after a short call
04

Build on it

The name, then the product.

Discuss a project

IOANK LTD is a web and digital studio. Once the domain is yours we can design and build what goes on it, from a one-page launch site to a full web app with AI features.

What we build

  • Landing pages and company sites
  • Web apps and MVPs
  • AI features and integrations
  • Brand basics: logo, colour, type

How we work

  • React, Next.js, Node and Python
  • Fixed quotes for defined scopes
  • Domain and build can be bundled
  • Ongoing support available
05

Leasing & backorders

Two cheaper routes to a good name.

Ask about leasing

Leasing lets you use a premium name now for a monthly fee, with an option to buy it later. A backorder is for a name due to expire: we watch it and try to register it the moment it becomes available.

Leasing

  • Monthly fee, agreed term
  • Option to buy, with payments credited
  • DNS pointed at your site from day one

Backorders

  • Monitoring of the expiry date
  • Registration attempt at drop
  • No guarantee, as others may compete
06

Transfer, DNS & email

So the name actually works.

Get set up

We move the domain to your registrar, connect it to your hosting, and set up business email with the records that keep messages out of spam folders.

What's included

  • Registrar transfer
  • DNS and SSL
  • Business email setup
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC records

How it's priced

  • Fixed fee per domain
  • Often included with a domain purchase
07

Portfolio management

For owners with more names than time.

Talk to us

If you hold domains you no longer need, we can list them, handle enquiries and run the escrow sale on your behalf, or simply keep track of renewals so nothing important expires.

What's included

  • Renewal tracking and reminders
  • For-sale landing pages
  • Marketplace listings
  • Enquiry handling and negotiation

How it's priced

  • Commission on completed sales
  • Or a fixed monthly fee
  • Written agency agreement
