Why it matters
Good due diligence takes a few steps. Confirm ownership at the registrar, check the name's history and look for trademark issues. Check for spam or blacklist history that could harm email. Review comparable sales to test the price. Use a trusted escrow service. A common mistake is skipping history checks on a cheap name. A domain with a bad past can carry search penalties or blocked email, and the buyer inherits those problems.
