POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Moniker, the first and only provider of Domain Asset Management(TM) services, today announced the launch of its new, automated domain name escrow service. This launch marks another first in the industry innovation by Moniker.

"As a registrar and escrow agent, Moniker will act as a neutral, third party and will hold the domain and funds in a special escrow, secure account to maintain the integrity of the transaction as well as offer customization for payment plans and agreements, lease-to-purchase options and more," said Monte Cahn, co-founder and CEO of Moniker.com. "Moniker is the only company that offers true domain escrow. Our system can accommodate any kind of transaction, including regular domain purchases, leases, monthly payments, etc."

With Moniker's Domain Escrow Service, customers are guaranteed top-quality customer service and protection even if the transaction is not completed. Sellers are protected because Moniker maintains control of the domain until payment on the transaction is made. If the transaction falls through, sellers are immediately given control of the domain again.

Domain name buyers are also protected using Moniker's Domain Escrow Service. If a seller does not properly transfer a domain to escrow or to the new owner, Moniker will issue a full refund on a transaction. Moniker also validates ownership of the domain prior to transaction completion and can perform escrow services in more than 160 country code domain extensions world wide.

The new, easy-to-use system allows any domain buyer or seller to initiate an escrow transaction once a sale price has been agreed upon. Automated account updates are provided through the customer's Moniker account. The transaction can also be setup for automated funds transfers from Moniker account to expedite transaction wait times.

Moniker has opened its escrow account at one of the largest and most financially secure financial institutions, Citigroup, to bring buyers and sellers the utmost in security. Moniker was the first company to create and conceptualize the domain escrow process in 1996, and has now revolutionized the service for any type of domain transaction.

Information required to open an escrow transaction includes: e-mail addresses of both parties, sale price of the domain, and any corresponding payment terms. Moniker will produce the contracts and will verify both parties have fulfilled their obligations before finalizing the transaction and transferring assets.
