Anonymous Domain Purchase
They never know
it's you.
Buy domains privately and anonymously. We negotiate as a neutral third party so the seller never learns your identity, your company, or your budget.
Anonymity isn't a feature.
It's the entire strategy.
The risk of being known
The moment a seller knows who's buying, the negotiation changes. They search your name. They see funding rounds, revenue, brand value. The domain that was worth $50,000 is suddenly worth ten times that.
This isn't hypothetical. It happens on nearly every direct outreach. The buyer signals intent. The seller adjusts.
Our approach eliminates this entirely. We handle the purchase as a neutral broker with no connection to you, your company, or your industry. The seller negotiates on the merits of the domain, not the depth of your pockets.
You purchase privately and anonymously, identity hidden from first contact through escrow closing. Even after the transfer, the seller doesn't know who bought it.
Our story
"If he wasn't ready to sell it now, the only thing I needed to do was be the first person he opened the door for when he was."
— Michael Gargiulo, on acquiring VPN.com
In 2014, Michael found the perfect domain for his cybersecurity venture. VPN.com. It wasn't for sale.
He spent four years building a relationship with the owner. No pressure. No ultimatums. When the owner was finally ready, Michael was the first call.
The asking price was nearly $2 million. They closed at $976,730 — saving $750K through patient, professional negotiation.
Then Michael met Sharjil Saleem. Together they built the brokerage that now handles deals from $25,000 to $25 million.

How it works
You tell us the domain.
Submit the domain you want to purchase. Your inquiry is completely confidential.
We track down the owner.
Our team identifies the current registrant, even if the WHOIS is private or the domain isn't listed anywhere.
We purchase the domain on your behalf.
We approach the owner as a neutral third party. You buy privately and anonymously. No price inflation.
You buy anonymously through escrow.
Once terms are agreed, the domain transfers through escrow. You're protected at every step. No upfront fees. We only charge when we close.
Common questions
Will the seller ever know who I am?
No. We operate as a neutral third party throughout. Your identity is never disclosed: not during negotiation, not during transfer, not after closing.
Is it legal to purchase a domain anonymously?
Completely. Using a broker to purchase domains on your behalf is standard practice in business, real estate, and domain acquisition. There's nothing unusual about it.
What if the domain owner won't sell?
Many owners who initially decline will consider a well-structured offer from a professional broker. We know when to push, when to wait, and when to walk away.
Can you acquire domains with private WHOIS?
Yes. Private WHOIS doesn't mean unreachable. We have established methods for contacting owners regardless of privacy protection.
How long does a stealth acquisition take?
Most close in 2-8 weeks. Complex deals involving corporate owners, multiple stakeholders, or high-value names can take longer. We prioritize getting the right price over getting a fast close.
