News#blog#podcastPrice alerts on every domain page, by price range
The Price alerts button on a domain's page now opens a short form right there, so you can follow that name without leaving the page.
Releases#price-alerts#deals#websiteTell us why you're writing
The contact form now asks for a reason, takes an optional phone number, and lets you ask for deals by email or text.
Releases#website#contactSearch from any page, and price alerts one tap away
Every page now has the same header with a domain search box and a price-alert bell, plus one simpler footer.

Releases#payments#lease#websiteSmaller down payments, 5% and 10%
Lease-to-own plans now take a 5% or 10% down payment, between nothing down and 20%. The smaller step also opens Easy start on long plans that used to need 20% down.
Releases#payments#lease#websiteA consistent summary for every policy
Our four policies now start with the same clear summary format, separate from the full policy text.
Releases#website#privacyHelp us measure page speed
How Cloudflare's cookieless page measurement helps us improve browsing speed. Since October 3, 2026 it runs on eligible pages unless Global Privacy Control is on.
Releases#website#privacy#performanceSee what changed between policy versions
Compare any two published policy versions with highlighted wording changes and a short summary.
Releases#website#privacyAsk us about a domain
A shared contact page lets you ask a question about one domain, several domains, or buying from us.
Releases#website#buyingReview Escrow's terms before you agree
Buy Now asks for your email, then takes you to Escrow.com to review its fees and accept the transaction yourself.
Releases#payments#websiteSign and return to your purchase
Direct-purchase agreements open on DocuSeal in a separate tab, with a saved link and a signing-status check to bring you back.
Releases#payments#websiteShare a catalog view
Search, filters, sorting, and page numbers now travel with the catalog link you copy.
Releases#website#catalogReview the price before you commit
Checkout asks you to confirm the current financial terms and gives interrupted requests a way back to the same purchase.
Releases#payments#websiteEasier browsing on small screens
More readable form controls, layouts that accommodate enlarged text, and clearer keyboard focus throughout the site.
Releases#website#accessibilityChoose analytics and advertising separately
Cookie settings now separate analytics from advertising, respect Global Privacy Control, and warn before a reload could discard form entries.
Releases#website#privacyBlog pages that keep your place
Images reserve their space as articles load, the launch screenshots use smaller lossless files, and tables have clearer labels.
Releases#website#blog#accessibilityA referral form that checks as you type
Name the domains you are referring one at a time and the form tells you at once whether each is in our catalog — no more finding out after you pressed Submit.
Releases#referrals#websiteA declined offer is told to the buyer
Earlier today we said a decline "closed the deal" for a buyer who offered on this site. It closed it on our side. The buyer heard nothing. As of now, a decline arrives by email, with the reason when we gave one.
Releases#offers#emailAn accepted offer arrives by email
When we accept an offer made on this site, the acceptance and the checkout link now reach you by email, automatically — the same way a counter already did. Until today, the answer you most wanted was the one that traveled by hand.
Releases#offers#emailHow to report a security problem
There is now a vulnerability disclosure policy at /security/, an address to send a report to, a public key to encrypt it with, and a signed security.txt so the machines can find all three. No bounty, but an acknowledgment within five business days and no lawyers.
Releases#website#security#standardsA text when the email goes quiet
Tick the new box on the offer form and our reply can reach you by text — once, automatically, a day after an email that bounced or shows no sign of having been opened, and otherwise only when the seller has something to say.
Releases#offers#email#smsCounter the counter — and pay monthly
A counter from us used to arrive with one thing you could do, which was accept it. The email now carries three answers — accept, make a counteroffer, or decline — and a single-price counter can be taken as a payment plan at that price, with nothing further to approve.
Releases#offers#payments#telegramA footer that fits the page
The footer used to run the full width of the window while everything above it stopped at the text column, and on a phone its fourteen links stacked into a tower taller than most of what they sat under. It is two short rows now, aligned with the page, and every link in it is big enough to hit with a thumb.
Dev blog#website#accessibilityA mistyped address is a lost reply
Every email field on this site catches a slipped letter in a familiar provider and a domain that cannot receive mail. The offer form goes one further and confirms an address whose domain publishes no mail server at all. No verification service was added, and the part of your address that identifies you is never looked up.
Releases#website#offers#privacyEvery listing now shows its registration age, and soon its type-in traffic
Every domain page now states when a name was first registered and how old it is. Names that draw visits on their own will show how many, once a month of measurements exists on every one of our servers. Here is what the numbers mean and how they are counted.
Releases#website#listings#trafficEasy start, a lease that begins at half the monthly payment
Lease-to-own plans can now start at half the regular payment for the first three or six months, then step up. Here is the exact schedule, what it costs, and why some terms do not offer it.
Releases#payments#lease#offers#websiteThis week's domain deals (2026-09-02)
5 hand-picked domains at up to 30% off, only on this site, until 2026-09-09.
Deals#deals#weeklyBoth sides see the terms before they answer
Countering now shows you the payment plan your counter will carry, before you name a number — and the terms that carry are the last ones agreed, not the ones from the opening offer.
Releases#offers#payments#telegramA trail, and a boundary
Every domain page and post now shows where it sits in the site, and the browser enforces limits on what other sites can do with our pages. Including one limit we chose not to set.
Dev blog#website#standards#privacyNothing loads until you say yes
A published privacy policy, and a consent gate that keeps analytics and advertising off the page until you allow them. Declining costs you nothing.
News#privacy#website#standardsRefer a buyer, earn 10% — no links involved
A new referral program pays you 10% of the sale when someone you name buys one of our domains. No tracking link, no code — just register who you told.
Releases#referrals#websiteIDN domains now read in their own alphabet
Internationalized names like колев.net are displayed and addressed in Unicode everywhere — the punycode spelling still works and simply redirects.
Releases#idn#website#seoThis week's domain deals (2026-08-26)
5 hand-picked domains at up to 30% off, only on this site, until 2026-09-02.
Deals#deals#weeklyCoupons and weekly deals
Every completed sale earns a thank-you coupon that decays over time, and a rotating set of domains now carries a website-exclusive weekly discount.
Releases#coupons#deals#payments#websiteYour payment plan survives the counter
An offer made on a payment plan now comes back answered as a payment plan — the terms you chose stay with the deal through every round.
Releases#offers#payments#telegramWelcome to the blog
What this blog is for, why the older posts are dated before it existed, and what to expect next.
News#metaFaster, lighter, and readable without JavaScript
Every domain page now works with JavaScript off, heavy scripts load only when used, and an automated accessibility gate guards each deploy.
Dev blog#performance#accessibility#websiteOur domains announce themselves — _for-sale DNS records
Every domain in the portfolio now publishes an RFC 10023 _for-sale record, so tooling can discover it is for sale from DNS alone.
Dev blog#dns#standardsHow we price five thousand domains
No gut feelings — every price blends several independent appraisals, discards outliers, and is versioned like code.
Dev blog#pricing#appraisalsThree ways to pay
Escrow.com, direct wire or Zelle under a signed agreement, or Gram — what each payment route is for and how it protects you.
Releases#payments#escrow#websiteA brand of our own
Namegarage gets its own identity — a mark, a sage green, and a site design rebuilt around them.
News#website#brandingOffers now reach us on Telegram
Offers from the site land in front of us instantly, and buyers who prefer Telegram can negotiate there directly.
Releases#offers#telegramPay with Gram
Eligible names can now be bought with Gram on the TON blockchain — fixed-amount invoices, wallet checkout, on-chain settlement.
Releases#payments#gramIntroducing the Platinum tier
The catalog now sorts into five tiers — Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Bargain — so you can browse at your budget.
Releases#tiers#pricing#websiteCertified appraisals, on the page
Domain pages now show independent Appraise.net certified values, with a link to the public certificate you can verify yourself.
Releases#appraisals#pricingLinked bundles — matching names, one checkout
Related names — spelling variants, matching TLDs — are now linked, and buying them together earns a discount on every add-on.
Releases#bundles#pricing#websiteNamegarage is live
Our full domain portfolio is now browsable at namegarage.com — search, filters, transparent prices, and three ways to buy.
News#launch#websiteEvery name gets a pitch
Domain pages now carry a short, concrete pitch for the name — and the strongest names get a concept logo sketch.
