Secure Domain Transfer

The core transfer sequence

1. Buyer and seller agree on commercial terms.
2. Escrow is opened with the agreed transaction instructions.
3. Funds are verified by the escrow provider.
4. The domain is unlocked and the authorization code is prepared.
5. The buyer initiates transfer or receives an internal push.
6. Escrow releases funds after the domain is confirmed.
7. DNS, nameservers, and operational ownership are handed off.

Why escrow matters

Escrow reduces counterparty risk because funds and domain control are coordinated through a third party. It also creates a written sequence for verification, release conditions, and dispute handling if something unexpected happens during transfer.

Registrar and DNS planning

The buyer should decide whether to transfer WW.CO to a preferred registrar or receive an account push when available. DNS planning should happen before transfer so the buyer can preserve existing services, redirect traffic, or launch a new experience without confusion.

Buyer preparation

• Confirm registrar account access and security settings.
• Prepare nameservers, DNS records, and redirect rules.
• Identify who will approve escrow release.
• Schedule launch timing around the transfer window.
