Every listing now shows its registration age, and soon its type-in traffic
Every domain page now states when a name was first registered and how old it is. Names that draw visits on their own will show how many, once a month of measurements exists on every one of our servers. Here is what the numbers mean and how they are counted.
Releases#website#listings#trafficA mistyped address is a lost reply
Every email field on this site catches a slipped letter in a familiar provider and a domain that cannot receive mail. The offer form goes one further and confirms an address whose domain publishes no mail server at all. No verification service was added, and the part of your address that identifies you is never looked up.
Releases#website#offers#privacyEasy start, a lease that begins at half the monthly payment
Lease-to-own plans can now start at half the regular payment for the first three or six months, then step up. Here is the exact schedule, what it costs, and why some terms do not offer it.
Releases#payments#lease#offers#websiteThis week's domain deals (2026-09-02)
5 hand-picked domains at up to 30% off, only on this site, until 2026-09-09.
Deals#deals#weeklyBoth sides see the terms before they answer
Countering now shows you the payment plan your counter will carry, before you name a number — and the terms that carry are the last ones agreed, not the ones from the opening offer.
Releases#offers#payments#telegramA trail, and a boundary
Every domain page and post now shows where it sits in the site, and the browser enforces limits on what other sites can do with our pages. Including one limit we chose not to set.
Engineering#website#standards#privacyThis week's domain deals (2026-08-26)
5 hand-picked domains at up to 30% off, only on this site, until 2026-09-02.
Deals#deals#weeklyRefer a buyer, earn 10% — no links involved
A new referral program pays you 10% of the sale when someone you name buys one of our domains. No tracking link, no code — just register who you told.
Releases#referrals#websiteNothing loads until you say yes
A published privacy policy, and a consent gate that keeps analytics and advertising off the page until you allow them. Declining costs you nothing.
News#privacy#website#standardsIDN domains now read in their own alphabet
Internationalized names like колев.net are displayed and addressed in Unicode everywhere — the punycode spelling still works and simply redirects.
Releases#idn#website#seoCoupons and weekly deals
Every completed sale earns a thank-you coupon that decays over time, and a rotating set of domains now carries a website-exclusive weekly discount.
Releases#coupons#deals#payments#websiteYour payment plan survives the counter
An offer made on a payment plan now comes back answered as a payment plan — the terms you chose stay with the deal through every round.
Releases#offers#payments#telegramWelcome to the blog
What this blog is for, why the older posts are dated before it existed, and what to expect next.
News#metaFaster, lighter, and readable without JavaScript
Every domain page now works with JavaScript off, heavy scripts load only when used, and an automated accessibility gate guards each deploy.
Engineering#performance#accessibility#websiteOur domains announce themselves — _for-sale DNS records
Every domain in the portfolio now publishes an RFC 10023 _for-sale record, so tooling can discover it is for sale from DNS alone.
Engineering#dns#standardsHow we price five thousand domains
No gut feelings — every price blends several independent appraisals, discards outliers, and is versioned like code.
Engineering#pricing#appraisalsThree ways to pay
Escrow.com, direct wire or Zelle under a signed agreement, or Gram — what each payment route is for and how it protects you.
Releases#payments#escrow#websiteA brand of our own
Namegarage gets its own identity — a mark, a sage green, and a site design rebuilt around them.
News#website#brandingOffers now reach us on Telegram
Offers from the site land in front of us instantly, and buyers who prefer Telegram can negotiate there directly.
Releases#offers#telegramPay with Gram
Eligible names can now be bought with Gram on the TON blockchain — fixed-amount invoices, wallet checkout, on-chain settlement.
Releases#payments#gramIntroducing the Platinum tier
The catalog now sorts into five tiers — Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Bargain — so you can browse at your budget.
Releases#tiers#pricing#websiteCertified appraisals, on the page
Domain pages now show independent Appraise.net certified values, with a link to the public certificate you can verify yourself.
Releases#appraisals#pricingLinked bundles — matching names, one checkout
Related names — spelling variants, matching TLDs — are now linked, and buying them together earns a discount on every add-on.
Releases#bundles#pricing#websiteNamegarage is live
Our full domain portfolio is now browsable at namegarage.com — search, filters, transparent prices, and three ways to buy.
News#launch#websiteEvery name gets a pitch
Domain pages now carry a short, concrete pitch for the name — and the strongest names get a concept logo sketch.
