Problem
Buyers and sellers of internet domain names often face trust gaps, delayed transfers, and opaque fee structures when conducting transactions outside of a regulated escrow environment. These friction points can lead to financial loss, prolonged downtime, and reduced confidence in the secondary domain market.
Solution
Cobothub operates a dedicated escrow platform that holds buyer payments in a secure, audited account until the domain transfer is confirmed. The service supports credit‑card, PayPal, and bank‑transfer payments, automatically generates the Auth‑Code after payment receipt, and releases funds to the seller only after the buyer’s registrar acknowledges successful transfer. All transactions are logged and monitored in real time, providing both parties with audit‑ready records. The platform enforces a single, upfront purchase price with no hidden charges, and automatically applies the appropriate VAT treatment based on the buyer’s location and tax status. By standardizing the hand‑off process, Cobothub reduces transfer latency and eliminates the need for manual escrow negotiations, enabling faster deployment of the newly acquired domain.
Target Audience
The primary customers are businesses, startups, and individual investors seeking to acquire premium or brand‑relevant domain names, as well as domain brokers who require a reliable escrow service for high‑value transactions.
