Renting & Leasing Domain Names

October 17, 2013October 27, 2009 by nicholas

There are several
ways to make money from domain names. The most well know methods are domain
parking, and obviously selling domain names. But if you have a portfolio
containing generic domain names, you may have a third option, known as ‘domain
leasing’ or ‘domain renting’.

Domain leasing allows you to generate
revenue from your domain, while still holding on to the rights. This can be a
great option if you suspect that your domain name is going to appreciate in
the next few years and you are not yet ready to sell.

You need to test different parking services

When you park domains, make sure you experiment with several parking companies.

Each one of them provide a different default template and various options. Also a domain which does not perform with a parking provider may well exceed your expectations with another one. Some Parking companies are better at monetizing traffic on hi-tech products while others may be best at bringing revenues from people looking to buy clothes or rent a flat.

How to maximise your domain sale revenues

October 17, 2013October 23, 2009 by maxime

If you are a domainer, you want to make as much money as possible when selling a domain.
One way to do it, is simply to not do anything and wait for people to contact you.

After all, if they contact you to buy a domain you own, while you have not done anything to publicise the fact you are willing to sell, it means they are highly motivated. And highly motivated buyers mean that they are more than likely to pay top dollar for the name.

If you want to sell high, keep your profile low.

What Is Domain Parking ?

October 17, 2013October 20, 2009 by nicholas

Domain buying and selling has for long been a very profitable business. If a domainer (person who buys and sells domain names for a living) is lucky enough to buy a domain at the right time, predicting the upcoming trends, they could sell it for an astronomical profit. For example, the domain Candy.com recently sold for 3 million US dollars.

What does selling domain have to do with ‘Domain Parking’?
There are two kind of domain parking: monetized and non-monetized. The latter is a simple ‘Coming Soon…’ message displayed on the page. But what I am talking about is the former, which is where a domain owner converts traffic to a domain, into money. Most domain owners also offer the domain name for sale, and ‘park’ it while they wait for someone to offer the right price.

What is ‘Whois’?

October 17, 2013October 20, 2009 by nicholas

If you have been using the Internet for a while, you may have heard the word ‘whois’.
But what is it? What does it do?

Whois is basically an Internet function that allows you to query WHOIS databases for domain registration information. If you want to contact a domain owner, it can help you find contact details.

By performing a whois search, you can get information like when and by whom a domain was registered, contact name and e-mail, when it expires and what name servers the domain is pointed to. If you are interested in purchasing a parked domain, for example, this can help you find a contact e-mail address.
