The acquisition process
Fast, confidential, and secure
Selection & agreement
Enquire about any name and deal with the owner directly. Listed prices are a starting point; sensible offers are considered on every asset.
Escrow protection
An Escrow.com transaction is opened. Your funds are held by the escrow provider, never by the seller, until the transfer is verified.
Registrar transfer
The domain is pushed to your registrar account — typically inside 24 hours where we share a registrar, or 5–7 days for a full inter-registrar transfer.
Release of funds
You confirm the name is in your account. Only at that point does Escrow.com release payment. If it never arrives, you are refunded.
What direct ownership saves you
There is no commission in these prices
Marketplaces and brokers take a cut of every sale, and it is built into the price you see. Drag the slider to any figure and the arithmetic is straightforward.
Simple arithmetic on the sale price, not a projection. Commission rates vary by platform — the 10–20% range reflects rates publicly listed by the major domain marketplaces at the time of writing. Check the current rate on any platform you are comparing against. Escrow.com fees still apply to a direct sale and are typically split between buyer and seller.
Check before you commit
Don’t take our word for any of it
Buying a domain from an individual means trusting a stranger with a large payment. You shouldn’t have to. Everything below can be verified independently, before you send a penny.
Confirm we actually own it
Run a WHOIS lookup on any name in the portfolio. Registration and expiry dates are public record. If a name is listed here, it is held in our registrar account — nothing is listed on behalf of a third party.
ICANN Lookup →Your money never reaches us first
Every sale runs through Escrow.com, licensed and regulated in California. You pay them, not us. If the domain is never transferred, you are refunded in full. We cannot access the funds until you confirm the name is in your account.
Escrow.com →A real, named person
Trabilo is Lee Knights, in the United Kingdom. Same phone number, same email, same person from first message to final transfer. No sales team, no ticket queue, and no intermediary who disappears once the invoice is raised.
Contact details →Transfer terms set by ICANN
A registrar push between accounts on the same registrar typically completes within 24 hours. A full inter-registrar transfer takes five to seven days. Those timescales are ICANN policy — not a promise we invented.
ICANN transfer policy →What you won’t find here: testimonials, review scores, or visitor counters. We’d rather show you things you can check yourself than quotes you have no way of verifying.
Why high-growth companies invest in premium domains
A domain name is the one asset in a marketing stack that appreciates rather than depreciates. Ad spend disappears the day the campaign stops. A premium brandable domain is owned outright, renews for a fixed annual fee, and carries the brand for as long as the business exists. For companies raising capital, it is also one of the few marketing assets that appears on a balance sheet as intangible property.
The commercial case rests on three things. The first is recall: a short, pronounceable name survives being heard once at a conference and typed later from memory. The second is trust: buyers still read an exact-match .com as evidence that a company is established, and read a hyphenated or unusual extension as evidence that it is not. The third is defensibility: owning the primary .com prevents a competitor from acquiring it and benefiting from every mention of your brand.
For that reason, digital asset acquisition is now a routine step at Series A rather than an afterthought. A company that launched on an alternative extension and later has to buy the matching .com almost always pays more than it would have at the outset, because the seller knows exactly how much the name is now worth to that specific buyer.
How premium domains are valued
Exact-match domain valuation is not arbitrary, though it is often presented that way. The factors that consistently move price are length, whether the name is a real dictionary word or a coined term, how many syllables it has, whether the sector has well-funded buyers, and whether the .com is available or already taken. A two-word .com in a sector with venture funding behind it commands a premium that the same construction in a low-margin industry does not.
Every price in this portfolio is an asking price rather than a fixed one. Names are grouped into tiers — super-premium, high-intent commercial, and mid-market brandable — which reflects how liquid we expect each name to be, not just how much we would like for it.
The Trabilo acquisition process
The portfolio is owned outright. That is the single most important operational fact about buying here, because it removes the two things that usually slow a domain purchase down: waiting for a broker to reach an owner who may not reply, and paying a commission of 15–20% built into the asking price.
Selection and agreement. You enquire by email or WhatsApp about a specific name. You receive a direct answer on price and terms, usually the same day during UK hours. If you want several names, the portfolio page lets you shortlist them and send the list in one message.
Escrow protection. Once terms are agreed, an Escrow.com transaction is opened. Escrow.com is a licensed escrow provider regulated in California. You pay Escrow.com, not the seller. This protects you completely: if the domain is never transferred, your money is returned.
Registrar transfer. Where buyer and seller hold accounts at the same registrar, the name can be pushed across in minutes and typically completes within 24 hours. A full inter-registrar transfer takes five to seven days, a timescale set by ICANN policy rather than by either party.
Release of funds. You confirm the domain is in your account. Only then does Escrow.com release the payment. At no point does the seller hold both the name and your money.
Brokerage and portfolio advisory
Not every acquisition should be public. Where a company is preparing a launch or a rebrand, approaching a domain owner under its own name can move the price substantially. Enquiries here are handled confidentially, and where a name you want sits outside this portfolio, we can often approach the current owner on your behalf without disclosing who is asking.
For founders and startups, the more common question is which of several candidate names to build on. That is a conversation worth having before you print anything, not after. If you are weighing two or three options, get in touch and we will give you a straight answer about which is the stronger long-term asset — including when the answer is that none of ours is the right fit.
For investors, the portfolio is also available for bulk discussion. Names are held across ten sectors and a range of price tiers, and we will consider structured offers on groups of related names rather than requiring each to be sold individually.
Common questions
Before you enquire
How does buying a domain from Trabilo work?
You enquire about a name by email or WhatsApp and deal directly with the owner. Once a price is agreed, an Escrow.com transaction is opened, you pay escrow rather than the seller, the domain is pushed to your registrar account, and the funds are released only after you confirm receipt.
Are domain transactions protected by escrow?
Yes. Every sale runs through Escrow.com, a licensed escrow provider. Your payment is held by them and is not released to the seller until the domain is verified in your own registrar account. Escrow fees are typically split, and that is agreed up front.
Can I make an offer below the listed price?
Yes. Listed prices are asking prices, not fixed prices. Reasonable offers are considered on every name. Sending a specific figure moves things along far faster than asking what the best price would be.
How quickly will I receive the domain after payment?
Usually within 24 hours of cleared funds where the domain is pushed between accounts at the same registrar. A full inter-registrar transfer takes five to seven days — that timescale is set by ICANN policy, not by us.
Do you offer payment plans or domain leasing?
On names above $10,000, yes. Typically a deposit followed by monthly instalments, with the domain held in escrow until the balance clears. Leasing is considered case by case — tell us what you have in mind.
Who owns the domains listed here?
Every name is owned outright by Trabilo. Nothing is listed on behalf of a third party. That is why there is no broker commission and no delay waiting for an owner to respond to an enquiry.
What if a name I want has already sold?
The portfolio page is updated when a name sells. If you enquire about something that has gone we will tell you immediately and suggest the closest alternatives in the same sector.
About
Who you are dealing with
Trabilo is the domain portfolio of Lee Knights, based in the United Kingdom. The portfolio has been assembled over several years and is held directly — not syndicated, not fractionally owned, and not listed on behalf of anyone else.
The selection is deliberately concentrated in sectors with active corporate buyers: artificial intelligence and developer tooling, electric vehicles and mobility, microbiome and biotech, fintech and payments, and property. Names are acquired on the basis of how a real company would use them rather than on speculative keyword volume.
You will deal with the owner throughout — the same person who answers the first message signs off the final transfer. Enquiries are usually answered the same day during UK hours.
