We normally use Stripe or PayPal to facilitate our transactions. We can also organize the transaction over SEDO, but due to their fees being substantially higher, we will have to add additional 15% ($30 USD minimum) for the transaction. If you wish to use SEDO, please drop us an email at sales@bluestardomains.com and we'll organize the transaction with them.
As soon as you complete your payment, our system will send the domain's transfer instructions
to your PayPal account email address. The email will ask you to create an account with the
domain's registrar (in 99% of cases, that is NameBright.com) so we can "push" the domain to you.
If you used Stripe, the email with transfer instructions will be sent to the email address you provided
during checkout.
This way, SEDO ensures that we do not receive the payment until you have received the domain.
Please note that for some domains, transfers are not possible during the first 60 days after registration or purchase. This rule is not our policy - it is an ICANN regulation. You can read more about it here:In any case, the domain will be under your full control: you will be able to set nameservers, edit DNS records, and update your WHOIS info. In other words, it will be 100% yours, you simply will not be able to transfer it to another registrar during that initial 60-day lock period.
You can still use your existing hosting provider, point the domain to their DNS servers, and use it exactly as you wish - the only limitation is that you cannot transfer it out during the lock period.
If you made a mistake with your email when filling the order, please contact us
at sales@bluestardomains.com and
after we confirm it's really you (don't worry we don't ask for your dental record
and blood samples like many of the companies do )
we will resend you the transfer instructions to the proper email.
We are a small company with 15 employees only, and we generally already
had some communication with our new clients before they purchased
the domain, so don't worry you won't lose your domain just because
any of our guys behaved like some bureaucratic support-bot .
This is a one time payment and we will never bill you again for the same domain. Please note that we also give you one year of free registration ( unless stated otherwise in our emails) alongside with the domain. However, we do need to inform you that you will have to renew your domain after one year of registration expires. Usual price for domain renewals is around ~$10 USD per year.
All domains we sell come with a free 1 year registration.
