Payment plan (lease to own) terms
A payment plan lets you buy a domain from Central Coast Names in monthly installments. You can use the domain from the start, and it becomes yours once every payment is made.
Plans and pricing
| Domain price | Plans offered | Plan surcharge |
|---|---|---|
| Under $2,000 | 6 or 12 months | 6 months: none. 12 months: 10% |
| $2,000 to $9,999 | 6, 12, or 24 months | 6 months: none. 12 months: 10%. 24 months: 15% |
| $10,000 and up | 6, 12, 24, or 36 months | 6 months: none. 12 months: 10%. 24 months: 15%. 36 months: 20% |
The surcharge is added to the domain price and spread evenly across the monthly payments. The monthly amount and total are shown before you pay. There is no interest and no other fee.
Payments
- Your first monthly payment is charged at checkout. The rest are charged automatically to the same card on the same day each month.
- If a payment fails, you have 14 days to pay or update your card. If no payment is received within that time, the plan is cancelled.
- You can pay off the remaining balance at any time with no early payoff fee. Just reply to any plan email or use the contact page.
Using the domain during the plan
- Within 2 business days of your first payment, the domain is pointed to the nameservers or DNS records you choose, so you can build your website and email on it.
- The domain stays registered in the seller’s account, locked, until the final payment. It is removed from sale and cannot be sold to anyone else while your plan is active.
- The seller pays all renewal fees while your plan is active.
- You may not use the domain for anything unlawful, for spam, phishing, or fraud, or to infringe anyone’s rights. You may not resell, lease, or offer the domain to others before it is transferred to you. Breaking these rules ends the plan without refund.
After the final payment
- The transfer is started within 1 business day of your final payment, either as a push to your account at the same registrar or with a transfer authorization code.
- Please complete the transfer within 60 days of your final payment.
- After the transfer, you renew the domain with your own registrar.
Cancelling
- You can cancel at any time by contacting us at least 48 hours before your next payment date. No further payments are charged.
- When a plan is cancelled, by you or because a payment was missed, DNS settings are reset, the domain goes back on sale, and payments already made are not refunded.
- If the domain cannot be pointed to your DNS within 5 business days of your first payment, the plan is cancelled and you get a full refund.
- If the seller cannot complete the transfer after your final payment, every payment you made is refunded.
