Frequently Asked Questions

What does MarkUpgrade do?

MarkUpgrade serves as custodian for a curated portfolio of Strategic-Grade and Investment-Grade domain name assets. We work with established businesses and funded startups with budgets from US$100,000 to millions.

What is the value of domain names MarkUpgrade represents?

Approximately 85% of our portfolio ranges from US$100,000 to US$250,000; the rest is higher. For domain names valued at US$1,000,000+, a signed Letter of Intent (LOI) is typically required. MarkUpgrade may also require an LOI in other cases. Quotes are case-specific and may not be available for all domain names.

How does securing a domain name with MarkUpgrade work?

You can explore our Process page for details.

Note: The specific process might vary depending on the particular domain of interest.

What payment methods do you accept for domain transactions?

For the protection and peace of mind of all parties involved, we exclusively work with Escrow.com or an equivalent U.S.-based escrow agent to facilitate all transactions. This ensures that the domain and funds are securely exchanged in compliance with legal standards. All Escrow fees are covered by the Buyer.

For domains MarkUpgrade represents, do you work with brokers / agents / advisors?

Our requirement is to have an open line of communication with the acquiring party. We understand the value an advisor may bring to the negotiation and so your advisor is welcome to attend our meeting/s with you.

Why do you only work with .COM domains?

The .COM extension is a brand of its own. Synonymous with the internet itself, .COM domains have universal recognition, credibility, and enduring value. Our focus on .COM domains ensures that our clients not only establish a prestigious online identity but also benefit from the inherent brand strength that a .COM domain provides.
