It all depends. When a domain is under our management and you find it in pause it may be for multiple reasons such as the client wishes to keep a hosting account active for emails and files but closed to the public, is working on launching their website or preparing to sell the domain name. We have clients that wish to sell unwanted domain names and we assist with brokering services and advertising and if you find a “not officially listed for sale” domain name managed by us and have an interest to purchase, send an email and we will notify the owners of your interest.
