Hi, I'm Hannah Benson. I am a domain investor holding a portfolio of more than 500 premium domains. As a Namecheap ex-employee and ICANN registered specialist, I help companies secure strategic names and have negotiated over 1,200+ closed domain sales.
I've spent the last 15 years navigating the domain name industry. During my tenure at Namecheap, I negotiated domain acquisitions for venture-backed startups and multinational brands. Today, I operate independently to provide direct, conflict-free advice to buyers and sellers.

When a domain owner sees an email from a funded corporate entity, the price immediately inflates. I represent you as an anonymous broker under comprehensive NDA. I trace the domain owners, run background audits, and negotiate directly to secure fair market values.
Selling a premium digital asset requires positioning. I represent domain owners looking to divest high-value inventory. I design the pitching collateral and list it through my private networks of corporate buyers, private equity firms, and VC funds.
Domain migrations involve technical and legal risks. I oversee registrar transfers, handle secure third-party escrows (ensuring payments clear safely), and update DNS parameters so assets migrate securely without server downtime.
Holding a weak extension costs more in leaked marketing dollars than securing the premium .com counterpart.
If your company is currently using a secondary extension (.co, .io, .net) or a long, hyphenated address, you are operating with an invisible handicap. Upgrading to a premium .com changes your market positioning instantly.
Customers and partners type ".com" by default. If you don't own the .com counterpart, you are actively leaking customer searches, word-of-mouth recommendations, and highly sensitive emails to whoever does.
A short, clean .com signals size, stability, and longevity. It increases click-through rates on search engines, reduces ad campaign costs, and removes friction for venture capital investments.
Shorter names increase brand recall, fit perfectly on mobile screens, and are easy to communicate verbally. A single-word .com domain remains the ultimate digital asset.
A domain name is your brand's permanent global address. Unlike physical assets, digital real estate appraisal requires looking at historical sales data, search query volumes, search engine optimization metrics, and trademark status.
Sellers set domain valuations arbitrarily. A certified appraisal gives you a data-backed negotiating ceiling, ensuring you do not overpay for digital assets.
Corporate accounting, investment audits, and business acquisitions require certified independent appraisals of digital intellectual property for formal balance sheets.
Listing your domain too high stalls negotiations, while listing it too low leaves value on the table. Appraisal matches assets to actual buyer demand.
Hannah Benson provides formal domain appraisal certificates backed by sales data, traffic records, and ICANN alignment metrics.
I am available for domain sales, acquisition offers, or independent appraisal projects. Reach out if you'd like to make an offer on a domain in my portfolio, and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
