Afternic is one of the world’s largest domain marketplaces, where you can list your domains for sale and reach a wide network of buyers.
At this time, Unstoppable Domains is not yet connected with Afternic’s Fast Transfer system. This means domains must be manually transferred to buyers after a sale. Support for Fast Transfer is planned for later in 2025.
Afternic may require you to verify that you own your domain before listing.
There are two verification methods Afternic may provide after you submit your domain:
Adding a TXT Record to your domain’s DNS.
Setting Custom Nameservers provided by Afternic.
These can be found under Settings > Ownership in your Afternic account.
Steps to List a Domain on Afternic
Create an Afternic account (or log in to your existing one).
Click on Portfolio, then select Add Domains.
Enter the domain(s) you want to list for sale and click Next.
On the setup page, you can:
Enable Lease to Own
View Estimated Value
Set a Buy Now Price
Set a Floor Price
Set a Minimum Offer
Configure the Sale Lander (requires Afternic's nameservers)
Press Submit to submit the domain for listing.
Your domain will now appear on the All Domains page, where you can view or change your listing settings.
Domain Status: In Review
Sometimes your domain will show an In Review status. This usually means Afternic requires ownership verification.
Afternic will send you an email with instructions and the information (TXT record or nameservers) you need to add.
All verification records must be added through your Unstoppable Domains account.
How to Verify Domain Ownership
Go to My Domains in your Unstoppable Domains account.
Click on the domain you want to verify.
TXT Record Verification
Click on DNS Records.
Click Add Record.
Select TXT as the record type.
Enter @ as the Name.
Enter the TXT record provided by Afternic in the Value field.
Leave TTL at 1 hour.
Note: If Forwarding is set up on the domain, it must first be removed under the Forwarding tab before DNS Records can be added.
Nameserver Verification
Click on Nameservers.
Select Custom.
Add Afternic’s default nameservers:
ns1.afternic.com
ns2.afternic.com
Press Add Another Nameserver and enter the third nameserver provided by Afternic.
Once Afternic confirms domain ownership, the status will change from In Review to Listed.
Additional Notes
Domains that use Afternic’s nameservers receive reduced commission rates and can take advantage of Afternic’s Sale Landers.
Afternic is a partner of Unstoppable Domains, but we can only troubleshoot issues on our own site. For issues with Afternic directly (such as pricing, payouts, or listing errors), please contact Afternic Support.
Unstoppable Domains will be expanding our integration with Afternic to include Fast Transfer and other features by the end of 2025.
