Platform overview

How DNLaunch works.

A technical explainer of the marketplace — from listing to escrow to transfer — in plain English.

Step 01

Create your listing

Set a Buy Now price, toggle offers on or off with a minimum floor, and add a short description. Listings go into a "pending verification" state until ownership is proven.

Step 02

Verify via nameservers

Change your domain's authoritative nameservers at your registrar to ns1.dnlaunch.com and ns2.dnlaunch.com. DNLaunch queries the DNS system directly to confirm — no file uploads, TXT records, or tokens needed. Verification is typically complete within 15 minutes once propagation catches up.

Step 03

Get discovered

Verified listings appear in search, category, and featured results. We track views and offer activity so you know when to reprice or feature a listing.

Step 04

Buyer purchase or offer

Buyers can either purchase at your Buy Now price or submit an offer (if enabled). Offers include an optional message and go straight to your dashboard.

Step 05

Escrow-protected close

Funds from Buy Now purchases or accepted offers are held in escrow. On your confirmation, we initiate the domain push to the buyer's registrar and release funds automatically when the transfer completes.

Step 06

Commission

DNLaunch charges a 15% commission on successful sales — no listing fees, no monthly fees, nothing until it sells.
