In this day of rampant Internet growth, many people are sourcing out online business opportunities to create extra income or even to work at on a full-time basis.
One of the first questions that will arise is how to go about protecting your domain investment. This is crucial because you want a catchy and traffic driven name, but you also want it to be protected from thieves.
Protecting your domain investment is simple to accomplish from a task perspective. Start by buying your domain name from a reputable source.
A reputable source should never ask you to risk your domain or money for any reason, whether to save a few dollars on an escrow fee or to make registration convenient for you.
Is there a more painful lesson than this?!
After much searching you have finally found a catchy, memorable domain name and a seller who is personable, who has just scores of customer testimonials on his website, and who is very receptive to your offer.
Since you now have a personal connection with your seller, he offers to forego escrow so that you can save the cost of the escrow fee. Based upon all those customer testimonials, you think, "What's the harm?". So you send your money to the seller and...
...after a while you realize that you have paid for a domain name that you are not going to receive, that the testimonials are fiction, and that your seller has disappeared.
There is no substitute for having an independent and reputable escrow firm involved in your sale. Having control of your domain before your money is released to the seller is worth every penny of the escrow fee.
Do not allow anyone else to register your domain for you, even if it seems convenient.
If a person other than yourself is listed on your domain's Whois record as the registrant or as the admin, billing, or technical contact, that person can transfer ownership of your domain to another registrant.
Since there is never a need for another person or entity to appear on your Whois record, do not allow that to ever happen!
Whether creating your own personal website or developing a dynamic online business, you do not want to lose the impact of your great, memorable domain name because you didn't protect it.
Protecting your domain investment can be the key to a bright future in these modern times or you can be left out in the proverbial "cold" as the internet progresses.
We sell memorable domain names.
This is essential for you to remember because being memorable is the one quality needed to build a successful, recognizable brand for your business, blog, or personal website.
I had operated a small but successful business on the Internet since July of 1998 but, after being diagnosed with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in February of 2004, I was forced to sell my online store and to find a more sedentary occupation for myself.
With my experience in Internet commerce, acquiring and selling domains just became a natural progression for me.
Our daily mission has two parts:
Whether through a keyword or a quirky phrase, being memorable is the most desirable quality for your domain name if you are seeking to build an Internet brand.
People sometimes value a domain based upon its current traffic alone. While this should be considered, it is not nearly as important as having a memorable domain name. If traffic is generated to the site through temporary links, the traffic (and value) of this domain will fall off considerably within weeks of your purchase.
With a memorable domain name, however, you have the beginning of a brand and over time it is not difficult to build your traffic with permanent one-way links coming into your site. (See our After Sale Services page to find out how to generate this traffic.)
The value of a good Internet domain name can not be overstated when you consider that this is a one-time investment for a permanent presence in a great location on the Internet and that good Internet real estate is becoming less available and increasingly more valuable each day.
This is an investment whose value will only increase with time.
Our goal is to match and sell each of our domains to the appropriate end user.
Since we make our living by selling domains, we cannot afford to undervalue and give away a great domain but you will find that we are willing to be flexible and to usually do what is needed to make a deal happen for our customer.
In addition, we are happy to provide you with leads to companies who will finance the purchase of your domain. Please refer to our After Sale Services page for this.
We always use an independent and reputable escrow company, such as Escrow.com, to safeguard your investment during the domain transfer process.
For your order of $100 USD or more, we will offset the cost of your escrow fee by lowering the agreed-upon price of your domain by the amount of your escrow fee.
On our After Sale Services page, we make a number of recommendations that are designed to help you to establish your Internet presence with your new domain name.
Although we will receive a commission if you choose to use some of our suggestions, we recommend these services not because of the commission but because these are the services that we would use for ourselves and we cite the reasons why we would chose one service over another.
It is important to us that you know that we deal honestly with everyone.
Our ultimate goal is to earn your trust and your business through our
Please contact us with any questions or needs that you may have. We hope to hear from you very soon.
