How buying works
You pick a name. The team sends one quote. You pay only if the total makes sense. Then we move the name to your registrar, and Media Minds can put a working site on it.
- 1 Pick a name on this site
- 2 Request Name, Launch, or Managed. No card.
- 3 Quote Pay only if you accept. Then we transfer.
What the number on the card is
That number is our desk fee, usually $150. It is the work to review this name, confirm it is still available, acquire it, and move it into your registrar account. It is not a finished website. It is not a parked page you are stuck with.
What the quote adds
Some names cost more to bring in than the desk fee. The email lists the desk fee, then any extra to secure that specific name. If you asked for Launch or Managed, those are their own lines. If the total is too high, say no. You have not paid yet.
| Desk fee | Usually $150. Printed on the card. Covers review, acquisition, and transfer. |
|---|---|
| Extra to secure this name | Only when this name costs more than the desk fee. Written on the quote, not guessed at checkout. |
| Name | Acquire and transfer to your registrar. Desk fee on the card. |
| Launch | A custom site and hosting on that name. Quoted after you request it. |
| Managed | Site, hosting, and Media Minds keeps the work running. Quoted after you request it. |
| This form | No card. A request only. |
What you are paying the desk for
Anyone can stare at a string. The fee is for a team that already screened the name against today's catalog, will not sell you a stale card, and will finish the transfer into an account you control. You get one quote, one contact, and a name you can actually use.

Name, Launch, or Managed
Name is the address. Launch is a working site. Managed keeps it running.
