Four things we do, described plainly.

Private sales

Sales from the portfolio

The domains on our portfolio page are owned by Plateau, not listed on behalf of third parties. There is one decision-maker on the selling side, no auction, and no commission layered on top of the price.

We quote a price and show how we arrived at it. You accept or counter. Both sides sign a short purchase agreement, the buyer funds escrow, the domain moves once funds are confirmed, and funds release once you confirm control.

See what is available

• One owner, one price. No auction, no bidding against phantom buyers.
• Purchase agreement with a warranty that the name is free of liens, disputes and registrar holds.
• Escrow.com settlement with a buyer inspection period written into the agreement.
• Transfer to any registrar, or an account push where the buyer already uses ours.

Acquisition

Buyer representation

When a company is seen approaching a domain owner, the asking price tends to track the company rather than the domain. We make the approach instead, under our own name, and keep your identity out of it until the agreement is signed.

We find the actual owner behind privacy services, open the conversation, negotiate against recorded sales of comparable names, and run the escrow to completion. If we think the name cannot be had at a sensible price, we say so early.

Discuss an acquisition

• Your identity withheld until the purchase agreement is signed.
• Pricing argued from evidence, not from what the seller hopes you can afford.
• Mutual NDA before any detail of the mandate is shared.
• Fee structure agreed in writing before we make the first approach.

Review

Brand and email defence

If your company operates on example.co.uk or example-inc.com, some of the mail meant for you is addressed to example.com, and whoever holds that name can read it. It is a quiet problem, usually noticed only after a misdirected invoice or contract.

We map the names a customer or supplier is likely to type, check which are registered and by whom, and which have live mail servers. Then we help you acquire or neutralise the ones that matter. There is a longer note on this.

Request a review

• Exact-match, hyphenated and common-typo names across the extensions you trade in.
• Which of them have live mail (MX) records, and are therefore receiving mail.
• Acquisition of the names that carry real risk, with anonymous approach where needed.
• Catch-all handling for the names you already hold, so misdirected mail is rejected cleanly rather than silently collected.

Custody

Portfolio custody

Large companies accumulate domains across departments, agencies and acquisitions. Registrations lapse, the person who set them up leaves, and nobody is sure which account holds what.

We consolidate holdings under a single enterprise registrar, apply registry locks where the registry supports them, keep renewals funded years ahead, and document the lot for your audit.

Discuss custody

• Consolidation to one enterprise registrar, with a documented migration that keeps DNS and mail running.
• Registry lock and two-person approval for any transfer or nameserver change.
• Renewal calendar with multi-year prepayment on the names that matter.
• Annual inventory report for finance and legal, listing every name, its registrar, its expiry, and its purpose.
