Hello community of domain Buyers and Sellers,
We’re excited to share that Bilgu.com is officially launched and is currently in beta! We've been working on this for months now with thoughtfulness to create a platform where premium domains can be bought, sold, and leased with ease.

What is Bilgu.com?​

Bilgu.com is a dedicated space for premium domain names—a place for sellers to showcase their domains and for buyers to find the perfect name to match their vision.

For sellers, we’ve focused on making things straightforward and efficient.
  1. Secure payment handling through Escrow.com with flexible options like Buy Now, Make Offer, and Lease-to-Own.
  2. Better for you and your domain buyer user interface and experience for negotiating when make offer is selected and close the sale with escrow.
  3. Flat 6% Commission on all successful sales.
  4. Freedom to choose your prices and non-exclusive agreements unlike other brandable and premium marketplaces where you are bound by their stringent rules. But we will still review for fake listings with ridiculous pricing as we want to be fair with both buyers and sellers.
  5. Beautiful custom colored/theme lander designs. Eg: bilgu.com/domain/bilgu.org
For buyers, it’s all about simplicity.
  1. You’ll find transparent pricing.
  2. Flexible payment options.
  3. Safe and Secured transaction through escrow.com
  4. Easy-to-use interface.
Currently we are only open to sellers listing on our platform, We are yet to develop the marketplace features. We will be announcing that after we are out of beta launch of Bilgu.
This is just the beginning. We would love to build this platform based on the suggestions and feedback from the community.
Visit us at bilgu.com and bilgu.com/seller —we’d love for you to see what we’ve built.

We are bootstrapped and its solo dev which is myself handling this for now, we haven't registered as an entity yet as the local laws here in India allows us to conduct business until a certain revenue threshold.

I'm sure trusting a new project is not feasible for a lot of domainers here, we are okay with that as we would slowly want to build out and gain the trust of domainers and we are exclusively implemented only with escrow.com for that exact reason as many people have trust issues with a new platform like ours.

If you don't want to list on our platform that's alright, We hope to you could trust us in future however we are open to getting those users who want to try new platform or looking an alternative to existing marketplaces.

We have been working on a free tool this whole week and have launched this tools that can help you check for domain availability in bulk of upto 50.

This what the feature includes for the tool:
  • Real-time availability checking
  • CSV export functionality
  • Direct links to purchase available domains
  • Clear visual indicators for available/unavailable domains
  • Progress tracking during checks
We use multiple methods to ensure accurate results, including:
  • Direct DNS queries
  • WHOIS database checks
  • RDAP queries
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, we recommend double-checking availability with a registrar before making purchase decisions.

You can test it out at https://bilgu.com/tools/bulk-domain-availability-check

What made you name the site Bilgu? any specific meaning?The domain name itself is not appealing for a domain marketplace.

In Mongolian word Bilgu means wisdom this is the best I could afford right now and too broke to afford a better domain, might have to pick better name in the future for now it's alright.

Tried revamping the queries interface to be more like a conversation which helps both you as seller and for the buyer to easily understand context and negotiate on your own rather than being rigid and step by step negotiation process for make offer options.

The Update now includes easier way for seller to Accept, Reject or Make Counter Offers.
The Update on when the message was read.
Show current offer on the side bar of conversation and also within chat window on top.
The conversation is updated on real time.
It's Mobile Responsive as Well.

With this update I hope that sellers and buyers can have transparent and free negotiation process without any mediation from us. Once the seller accepts the initial offer or counteroffer of buyer the buyer is shown an option to checkout through escrow where they can initial the escrow transaction.

Tried improving the lander with these changes to include custom checkout options of Atom Pay and Afternic's Custom Checkout link for giving buyers more options to buy.

Before

After

Also reduced the commission rate to just 2% + escrow fees paid by seller to be more competitive even when compared with checkout options of Afternic Custom Checkout and Atom Pay.

Feel free to test it out!

Launched a nice tool that can help you check the redirect chains of any domains, It's better if there's max upto 2 to 3 redirect chains for better user experience.

Here's the link to the tool: https://bilgu.com/tools/redirect-check

Blimey! Congratulations on your efforts thus far.

I've just written the following on the domaineasy.com official thread:
This industry benefits if upgrading our focus to BRANDING over simple, mechanical, domain sales. Selecting where we invest involves skill, art, and experience. Brand focus helps emphasize we're specialized gem hunters rather than unskilled rock collectors. By introducing an easy-to-remember brand for top online positioning, the client gets a prized intellectual asset with enduring worth.

It's a problem when the sales platform choose an uninspiring name. Bilgu is (sorry) feeble. Perhaps you cannot afford Brandsy.com but please go LTO on a better name as soon as possible. We can offer short names such as Richby.com or Rockum.com or memorable imagery such as BrandFighter.com or Brandgasm.com

Invest in a brand that helps visitors feel positive, also with imagery to find their way back :xf.wink:

If your domains are listed on Sedo they will now appear on search at Bilgu as we have Partnered with Sedo to display the domains and help buyers discover cool domains listed on their platform. Cheers!

It's doesn't mean anything that's why. So it's both good for branding perspective and Easier to remember just like Google doesn't mean anything but amazing from branding perspective.


As humans we are have opinions shaped by our perspective of the world so it's okay some of them think it's good some of them think it's bad.

Good luck selling that but i don't see the value that you do that's what makes domains interesting for one man's trash is another man's gold.

You claim on here and in big bold letters on your site, that you sell premium domain names.

I have looked at your site and there is no browse feature. Secondly, the few names that are shown on your home page are simply junk.

Where are the premium names?

We still have very few sellers onboarded on our platform so we don't have huge inventory to display, that's why those we are displaying in home page are auctions from sedo with atleast 2 bids which indicates there's demand for that domain.

We have also currently integrated with Sedo to display those domains that are short upto 15 chars without IDN, numbers, emojis and hyphens in the domain name in search. Recently launched it, so still need to integrate with more platforms and there's obviously room for improvements.

Btw you probably typed .com in tld input instead of just com during your search, that's why you got that error. maybe I should make it more user friendly. I will consider updating that, thank you!
