Escrow.com is our preferred domain escrow company of choice. They are reliable, have a well-designed interface, and possess brand integrity. Andrew Allemann (DomainNameWire.com) made an interesting post recently about Escrow.com offering extended payment arrangements for the purchase of domain names.

Premium domain names are valuable assets for companies who are looking to create or enhance their online brand in a particular market, or with a select group of products or services. Premium domain names are obviously expensive and are typically purchased by select corporate end users or dedicated buyers. PremiumDomains.US have sold domain names both in traditional instant buyout arrangements and through “payment plan” arrangements.

In Andrew’s blog post, he writes that in the Escrow.com payment plan, Escrow.com take control of the domain while collecting monthly payments from the buyer. Upon final payment, the domain name is then transferred to the new owner and funds are disbursed to the seller. This option allows smaller companies to acquire a high level premium domain while conserving capital for daily operations as the company scales up operations.

Andrew writes that Escrow.com use GoDaddy.com (the world’s largest and highest quality registrar) to safely hold the domain while payments are made over time. Presently, Escrow.com’s payment plan for domain purchases range from 8 months to 5 years.
