In this article, we will show you how to order an already-registered IONOS premium domain that is available for sale on the Sedo Domain Marketplace.
Domain name holders often offer their registered domain names for sale on the Sedo Domain Marketplace. With more than 18 million domains listed and 2 million customers, Sedo is the world's largest online platform for professional domain trading. In this way, it is possible to purchase a domain already registered for your own needs as a Premium IONOS domain.
If you want to buy a premium domain at IONOS, we work in collaboration with the Sedo domain market - so you can buy a domain offered at Sedo as a premium domain at IONOS without being a Sedo customer. You simply order the domain at IONOS, and we do the rest for you.
The availability of a domain as a premium IONOS domain is determined by checking the desired domain name. If the domain is available as a premium domain, you will see this in the results of the search.
Two payments will be due
Two payments are estimated for premium domains:
- A single fee for the premium domains
- The normal basic rate for the domain at IONOS. If your IONOS Premium domain is not received, we will immediately refund the amount you paid. However, after receipt of the Premium Domain, a refund is not possible.
The amount of the purchase will be indicated on a separate invoice. Before proceeding with the purchase, it is necessary to read and accept the conditions of use appearing on the order summary. Tick the corresponding box.
Since the holder of the respective domain must give his consent to the purchase, we cannot at any time guarantee the acceptance of the IONOS Premium Domain. Once the domain holder has accepted the purchase, the domain transfer begins. However, it takes longer than a regular domain transfer.
Time Frames
How long will it take to get my premium domain?
It depends on a number of factors, but the biggest factor is determined by where the domain is currently registered.
The transfer process for premium domains currently registered at IONOS typically takes up to 7 days, whereas domains registered elsewhere can take 1-2 weeks.
Another large factor is the responsiveness of both the buyer and the seller. If both sides respond quickly to their parts of the transaction, the entire process can likewise go quickly.
Please Note
SEDO transfers are not controlled directly by IONOS. Please contact your SEDO Transfer Specialist for more specific information about the expected time frame of your domain transfer.
