Claim Your Domain
“What is ‘Claim Your Domain’?”
“Claim Your Domain” is an attempt to restore ethical practices in the domain name business. For years, so-called “domainers” have been registering domain names that infringe upon the trademarks of individuals and companies (also known as “cybersquatting”). Domain Name Firm strives to help put an end to these unethical acts.
The underlying idea is simple. Domain Name Firm, being a domain name investment firm that regularly receives emails from domain name sellers, is presented with countless opportunities to purchase trademark-infringing names from uneducated sellers. For every ethical domain name sale made, Domain Name Firm invests a portion of the proceeds into purchasing one these names. After the transaction is finalized, the domain name’s incoming traffic is forwarded to this page. Once the trademark owner navigates to this page and contacts Domain Name Firm to retrieve their name, the name is transfered to them free of charge.
By doing this, we are hoping to encourage visitors to take part in random acts of selfless kindness.
“What does Domain Name Firm get out of it? Why even bother?”
It’s Domain Name Firm’s way of thinking globally and acting locally. Domain Name Firm doesn’t have the time or resources to single-handedly put an end to cybersquatting. Instead, the “Claim Your Domain” initiative was implemented to act as a catalyst to inspire others to do the right thing. We’re doing our part to truly enhance the quality of the internet.

Send Domain Name Firm an email at claim [at] domainnamefirm.com. All requests will be reviewed. During the reviewing process, you may be asked to verify your identity. Once your identity is verified, Domain Name Firm will transfer the domain name to your GoDaddy account free of charge.
