Whitelisting Instructions

To ensure that you receive quotes, newsletters or domain-related bulletins from BuyDomains.com, we ask that you take a minute to add us to your "safe" or permitted email sender list.
What is a "Whitelist"?
Adding our sending address (From:) to your list of accepted email senders (often referred to as a "whitelist", "safe list", or "list of privileged senders") will ensure that you receive your quote, newsletter or other BuyDomains communication.

How Do I Ensure that BuyDomains is on My "Whitelist"?
Please refer to the following whitelisting instructions you can use to whitelist email from BuyDomains. There are a number of different spam programs on the market, and email services such as AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo! have specific rules about adding providers to your whitelist.
