When I was thinking of selling a long held ultra-premium domain name that I owned, I did some research and ended up calling Grit Brokerage. They did an excellent job within a given time frame. If you have any ultra-premium names you are considering selling, I can save you a lot of time. Just call Grit. You will be glad you did.
I had my eye on a specific domain name for two years and had tried many different routes that didn't work. Once I started working with Grit it was a matter of weeks, and we had already secured the offer and started working on the process of transferring the domain to my account. The team is awesome and I highly recommend.
AI.com at $70 million leads DNJournal's 2026 chart, followed by Club.com at $10 million and Green.com at $7.5 million. Of the top 25 reported sales, 19 are .com and six are .ai. DNJournal counts eight seven-figure sales. Most large deals stay private, so any list shows only part of the market.
ICANN's 2026 new gTLD round drew 1,663 submitted applications, and 1,615 are active after Reveal Day on October 7. No new extension is contracted or live yet. String Confirmation Day is November 17. Based on 2012, delegation is likely more than a year away, and .com keeps its lead for brand buyers.
Verisign raises the wholesale .com price 7%, from $10.26 to $10.97, on November 1, 2026, plus ICANN's 20-cent fee. Renewing or transferring before then postpones the rise. You can renew up to 10 years. Verisign may add up to 7% in each of the next three years.
A domain broker represents one side of a domain name sale. For a seller, the broker prices the name, finds companies that could use it, contacts their decision makers and negotiates. For a buyer, the broker finds the current owner, makes contact without naming the buyer and negotiates the price. The broker then guides both sides through escrow and the transfer.
Grit uses outbound sales. Full-time researchers identify all potential buyers for the name, brokers contact the relevant decision makers and negotiate the best possible price, and the name goes out in a monthly newsletter to over 8,000 domain buyers and end users. The team also markets names at domain conferences and through its podcast, social media and press releases.
Often, yes. Grit runs a stealth acquisition service: a broker finds the owner, reaches out on your behalf without revealing who you are, and negotiates the price. Not every owner will sell, and some ask more than the name is worth to you, so a broker also helps you decide when to walk away.
Every Grit transaction closes through a third-party escrow company. The buyer pays the escrow service, the seller transfers the domain, and the escrow service releases the money to the seller only after the buyer confirms the domain is in their account.
Grit brokers over 400 domain transactions each year, ranging from hundreds of dollars to millions of dollars. Past sales listed on this site include one-word .com names, three-letter .com names and premium .ai, .io and .co names.
Call, text or email. Responsiveness is our trademark, and a broker answers, not a form robot.
