Protecting Your Domain Investment
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.
Work Only With People Worthy Of Your Trust
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.
Use An Escrow Firm
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.
Guard Your Registration
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!
Better Safe Than Sorry
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.
About dnBodega
The Key To Building Your Brand
I sell memorable domain names.
Remember this because being memorable is the key quality needed to build a successful, recognizable brand for your business, blog, or personal website.
My Background
I had operated an Internet commerce site, bedandbath.com, for five years until February 2004, when I was diagnosed with a chronic lung disease. I was then 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.
The Mission
The mission of dnBodega is two-fold:
Being Memorable
If you are seeking to build an Internet brand, being memorable is the most desirable quality for your domain name whether it is achieved by using a keyword or a quirky phrase.
Some people value a domain based upon its current traffic alone but, if traffic is generated to the site through temporary links, the traffic (and value) of this domain could fall off considerably within weeks of buying it. This is why having a memorable domain is so important.
With a memorable domain name you have the beginning of a brand. Over time it is fairly easy to build your traffic with permanent one-way links coming into your site. (See the After Sale Services page to find out how to generate this traffic.)
The Value of a Good Domain Name
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. Good Internet real estate is becoming less available and increasingly valuable each day.
This is an investment whose value will only increase with time.
Customers
My goal is to match and sell each of my domains to the right customer.
Since I make my living by selling domains, I cannot afford to undervalue and give away a great domain but you will find that I am flexible. I will do what is reasonable for you to acquire your domain name.
Reputable Escrow Companies
I always use an independent and reputable escrow company, such as Escrow.com, to safeguard your investment during the domain transfer process.
No Escrow Fees
For your order of $100 USD or more, I will offset the cost of your escrow fee by lowering the agreed-upon price of your domain by the amount of your escrow fee.
Honest and Full Disclosure
Visit the After Sale Services page. There you will find recommendations designed to help you to establish your Internet presence with your new domain name.
Although I will receive a commission if you use my suggestions, I recommend these services because I use them myself.
It is important to me that you know I deal honestly with everyone.
Earning Your Trust Is My Goal
My ultimate goal is to earn your trust and your business through my
