If Someone Wants to Buy Your Domain Right Now… Why Should They Have to Wait?
Today, no one likes to wait — especially not buyers. We book rides in seconds, order food with a tap, and make payments in a blink. So why is your domain still stuck in an outdated selling process?
Every time a buyer clicks Buy Now on your domain and doesn’t receive it instantly, you’re risking more than just a delay — you’re risking the sale.
Afternic’s Fast Transfer Service was built for one reason: to help you close domain sales instantly, effortlessly, and globally. It’s not just about speed — it’s about seizing opportunities the moment they knock.
This service connects your domain to Afternic’s vast reseller network, and when a buyer makes a purchase, the domain is transferred automatically — no emails, no delays, no manual work.
Whether you have one domain or a portfolio of hundreds, Fast Transfer gives you the power to turn interest into income — instantly.
And the best part? If you’re registered with AGM Web Hosting, setting it up is simpler than ever.
In this blog post, we’ll let you walk through how it works, how to activate it, and what makes a domain eligible.
Why Was Fast Transfer Introduced?
Table of Contents
Traditionally, domain sales involved multiple steps: negotiation, manual approvals, registrar changes, and days (or even weeks) of waiting. This outdated process slowed things down, making it harder for sellers to close deals quickly and for buyers to gain immediate access to their new domains.
Afternic’s Fast Transfer Service was developed to fix that — to make the domain ownership change as seamless as buying a product from an online store. It eliminates manual work and drastically reduces waiting time by enabling automatic transfer upon purchase.
Why Was Fast Transfer Introduced?
In the traditional domain sale process, once a domain was purchased, the seller had to approve the transfer and unlock the domain manually. Then, the buyer had to wait days — or sometimes weeks — for the domain to land in their account.
Fast Transfer changes everything. It’s designed to make selling domains as easy as buying a product online — with no manual transfer steps from your side. Once a buyer purchases your domain, it’s automatically pushed to their account, and you receive your payment. Simple, secure, and lightning fast.
What Is Fast Transfer?
Fast Transfer is an automated domain transfer service that allows a domain name to be instantly transferred to the buyer upon purchase. It removes the delays of traditional domain sales and gives both parties a seamless experience.
How Does Fast Transfer Work?
Here’s how the process works in three main stages:
Step 1: List Your Domain with a Buy Now Price
Add your domain to Afternic with a fixed price (no auction or offer system). This opens your domain to Afternic’s massive partner network for instant purchase.
Step 2: Authorize Fast Transfer via Your Registrar
If your domain is registered with a supported registrar (like AGM Web Hosting), you’ll receive an email to opt-in to Fast Transfer. Approve it, and your domain is now Fast Transfer-ready.
Step 3: Sell Instantly and Get Paid
Once a buyer clicks “Buy Now”, your domain is automatically transferred, and the payment is processed to your account. You don’t need to lift a finger.
