Buying a domain: questions and answers

The names are owned by NearMe Networks, LLC and were collected by Michael Dorausch, DC, a chiropractor who has built websites for chiropractors since the mid-1990s (more about Michael). Every sale is handled by Afternic (a GoDaddy company).

Open the domain page and click Buy Now. You go to the Afternic listing for that name, where you check out with a GoDaddy account. Afternic takes the payment and handles the transfer to you. We never ask you to pay us directly.

Yes. Afternic is part of GoDaddy, the largest domain registrar. You pay Afternic, not the seller, and Afternic manages the change of ownership. You never send money or account details to us.

Lease to Own lets you pay for a domain in monthly installments instead of all at once. 269 of our names offer it. You choose the number of months at checkout, up to the maximum allowed for that name. You can point the domain at your website and start using it during the lease. Once every payment is made, the domain is fully yours and you can transfer it to any registrar.

Buy Now prices currently run from $500 to $150,000, and 37 names are priced at $2,000 or less (see the under $2,000 list). The price shown on each domain page is the Afternic Buy Now price. Lease to Own monthly amounts are set at Afternic checkout and may include Afternic fees.

Afternic shows the expected timeline at checkout. Some names move into your GoDaddy account soon after payment; others can take several days while Afternic completes the change of ownership. If you want the name at another registrar, you can move it after the transfer (or, for Lease to Own, after the final payment).

The listed Buy Now price is the fastest way to get a name. If you have a question about a specific name or a budget in mind, send a note through the contact form and Michael will reply by email.

A short name that says what you do and where you do it is easy for patients to remember, type, and trust. It works on signs, car wraps, radio, and referral cards, and it tells search engines and patients right away that you are a chiropractor in that city or state.

201 of our names include a city or state. The Picks page uses your city and state to suggest names near you, and the Geo page lists every location name by state.

Yes. After the transfer you can point the new domain at your current website, use it as the main address and forward the old one, or forward the new name to your existing site. Your web host or IT person can set it up in a few minutes. Talk with them before changing anything tied to your email.

Send a message through the contact form with the city, state, or kind of name you are looking for. New names are added from time to time.
