Fast Transfer

Fast Transfer is Afternic's program that lets a listed domain be bought instantly through GoDaddy and partner registrars at its Buy Now price and transferred to the buyer automatically, with no action needed from the seller.

Fast Transfer, explained

You opt in per name. According to Afternic, an eligible name must be a .com, .net, .org, .co, .io, .xyz, .info, .biz, .de or .pw, carry a Buy Now price under six figures, have been registered for at least 60 days at a Fast Transfer supported registrar, and not be within 30 days of expiry or under a 60-day lock. Listings appear across Afternic's reseller network, including GoDaddy; its Premium Network adds more registrars and requires Fast Transfer. Standard Afternic commission rates apply.

Fast Transfer reaches end users at the moment they search a registrar for a name. An instant checkout converts that buyer; a make-offer page or a manual transfer gives them time to pick something else. The trade-off is a fixed price and a sale that completes without you, so set a Buy Now price you would accept today, review it periodically, keep auto-renew on and keep the name at a supported registrar.

Example. An investor enables Fast Transfer on a two-word .com with a Buy Now price in the low four figures, and a small business owner buys it from a registrar's search results the same afternoon.
