Selling a
domain name
Selling a domain name can be simple and smooth, provided that you adhere to a few simple
guidelines:
- If you're a business, accept payment by credit card. If this is not possible,
consider offering to pay for escrow services in the transaction. Minimally, offer to
alter the Admin Contact on the domain name record to the buyer's name as a "good
faith gesture" before receiving payment. The number #1 inhibition preventing a
domain name transaction is the buyer's discomfort with an unknown seller in a unregulated
market.
- Try to assess the domain name's value to the buyer. Often a
domain name's value to a buyer is higher than that of the seller.
- Be reasonable. The dizzying valuations you hear and read about are exceptions to
the norm. Most successful domain name transactions occur because they are reasonably
priced.
- Treat Internic as a partner in the transaction. Complete Internic's domain
transfer form properly and completely, and feel free to call Network Solutions if you have
questions at 1-888-642-9675.
