How Web-Universe.com Works
Everything you need to know about listing, discovering, and acquiring premium domain names on our marketplace.
List Your Domain
Create an account and add your domain name. Set a price (fixed, negotiable, or make-offer) and describe what makes it valuable. You can also group multiple domains into a bundle with a single bundle price.
Pay the Listing Fee
Your first domain is free to publish. Additional domains require a small one-time listing fee. Optionally boost visibility with a featured placement for the full listing period (6 months).
Get Discovered
Your domain appears in search results and category browsing. Interested buyers contact you directly via the inquiry form.
Close the Deal
Negotiate with buyers over email. Once agreed, handle the domain transfer directly — you keep 100% of the sale price.
Domain Ownership Verification & Infrastructure
Before publishing, you must prove you own the domain by adding a TXT record to your DNS settings. When creating a domain listing, a unique verification code is generated. Add it as a TXT record at @ or . (root level) in your DNS provider's control panel, then click "Verify Ownership" in the DNS Check panel. This confirms you have control of the domain. Once verified, the TXT record can be removed — your verified status is permanently saved.
Pointing A and AAAA records to our servers is optional and only required if you want your domain to display the Web-Universe landing page to visitors. It is not required to publish your listing. Domains connected to our infrastructure display a Verified & Connected badge on their listing.
Infrastructure connections are monitored automatically every 15 minutes — if DNS stops pointing to our servers, the connection is removed and the seller is notified by email.

Common Questions
How much does it cost to list a domain?
Your first domain is published completely free. For each additional domain, a small one-time listing fee applies. Optional featured placement is available for extra visibility. All pricing is shown on the publish page before you pay.
How do buyers contact me?
Buyers can send you a message via the inquiry form on your domain's listing page. You'll receive an email notification with their message and can reply directly.
Do you handle the domain transfer?
Web-Universe.com is a listing marketplace — you handle the domain transfer directly with the buyer after agreeing on a price. We recommend using a trusted escrow service for high-value transactions.
Why do I need to verify domain ownership?
Ownership verification proves that you control the domain you are listing. It prevents fraudulent listings by ensuring only the actual domain owner can publish. Verification is required before your domain listing can go live.
How do I verify domain ownership?
When you add a domain, a unique TXT verification code is generated. In your DNS provider's control panel, add a TXT record at @ or . (root level) with that code as the value. Then open the DNS Check panel in your dashboard and click "Verify Ownership". Once verified, your status is saved and you can delete the TXT record if you wish.
Can I delete the TXT record after verification?
Yes. Once ownership is verified, your verified status is permanently saved in our system. You are free to remove the TXT record from your DNS — it will not affect your listing.
Are A and AAAA DNS records required?
No. A and AAAA records are optional. They are only needed if you want your domain to display the Web-Universe landing page to visitors — for example, to show your listing details when someone visits the domain directly. They are not required to publish your listing.
How do I connect my domain to the Web-Universe infrastructure?
Set an A record (IPv4) and optionally an AAAA record (IPv6) pointing to our server IPs shown in the DNS Check panel, then click "Check Now". If DNS resolves correctly, your domain will be automatically connected to our infrastructure.
Why can't I publish my bundle?
All domains in a bundle must have their ownership verified before the bundle can be published. Open the DNS Check panel for each unverified domain, add the TXT record, and click "Verify Ownership".
How long does a listing stay active?
Listings are active for 6 months from the date of publishing. You will receive an email notification 14 days before expiry. To keep your domain listed, you can renew directly from your dashboard for the standard listing fee, and add featured placement at the same time. Renewals extend the current expiry by 6 months.
Can I edit my listing after publishing?
Yes — you can update your domain's description, price, and keywords at any time from your dashboard.
What payment methods are accepted?
Listing fees are processed securely via Stripe. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
Can I feature multiple domains?
Yes, you can purchase featured placement for each domain individually. Featured listings appear at the top of browse results and the homepage for the full listing period — the same 6-month duration as the listing itself.
What is a domain bundle?
A bundle lets you group multiple domains into a single listing with one combined price. Buyers can acquire all domains in the bundle at once. Bundles are useful when you have a group of related domains that are more valuable together than individually.
How much does it cost to publish a bundle?
The bundle listing fee is calculated from the number of unpublished (draft) domains in the bundle — each domain incurs the standard per-domain listing fee. If all domains in your bundle are already published individually, the bundle itself can be published for free. Pricing is shown clearly before you pay.
How long does a bundle listing stay active?
Bundle listings are active for 6 months from the date of publishing — the same as individual domain listings. All domains within the bundle are also published for 6 months. You will be notified before expiry and can renew your individual domain listings from your dashboard.
What happens if I want to remove my listing?
You can unpublish or delete your domain listing at any time from your dashboard. Listing fees are non-refundable once a domain is published.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, listing fees are handled by Stripe (PCI-DSS compliant), and we never store payment card details. We take security seriously.
How should I pay or receive payment for a domain?
Always use a secure, traceable payment method for domain transactions. We recommend established options such as bank transfer (SEPA), PayPal, Stripe, or a professional escrow service — especially for high-value domains. Sellers can configure their accepted payment methods in their profile, which will be shown to buyers on the listing page.
Is Web-Universe.com responsible for domain transactions?
No. Web-Universe.com is a listing marketplace only. We connect sellers and buyers, but we are not involved in, and take no responsibility for, the actual domain transfer or payment transaction between the parties. We strongly recommend using an escrow service for high-value transactions and always verify the seller's identity before transferring funds.
How do I enable Two-Factor Authentication?
Go to Settings in your dashboard and toggle on Two-Factor Authentication. On each future login, a 6-digit code will be sent to your email address.
What are AI description credits?
AI description credits let you generate professional, SEO-optimised domain descriptions with a single click. Each generation uses one credit. The AI takes your domain name, category, keywords, and price into account to write a compelling listing description. Admin users generate descriptions for free.
How much do AI credits cost?
Credits are sold in bundles: 10 for €2.99, 25 for €5.99, 50 for €9.99 (most popular), 80 for €14.99, and 150 for €24.99. Credits are non-refundable and do not expire. You can buy more at any time from the AI Credits section in your dashboard.
Can I customise the AI prompt used for generation?
Admins can edit the global AI prompt template from the Admin → AI Settings panel. The prompt supports dynamic placeholders such as domain name, category, keywords, and asking price, so every generated description is contextual and unique.
