How to sell your domain safe and for a good price?
In this article we will review the matter and try to provide a way of doing so taking into consideration high price and safety.
1. Domain name auctions
The very word auction assumes the option of selling your domain at the highest price since buyers make bids and the domain name is sold to the one who offers the highest price. Make sure to use a secure and reliable auction or you can lose your domain. We find Flippa to be most comfortable amongst the domain auctions. Registrar marketplaces are considered to be the safest and most reliable ones. Log in to your account with your registrar and look around for a “Sell”, “Auction”, “Marketplace” or a similar button. Some of the most popular Registrars offer such sort of marketplaces of their own. GoDaddy is a perfect example and probably most popular among Registrar auctions. If you use a registrar’s local auction, then the Registrar is the warrantor will guarantee the safety of the deal.
2. Deal via broker
Sometimes domain names are sold via forums when a domain seller places an advert and receives offers from potential buyers. Digital point is one of the most popular though you might also check out dnforum.com and namepros.com. To secure the transaction in such a case, a third party is required. A domain broker is such a third party receiving domain ownership rights from the seller and the money from the buyer. Then he transfers the domain ownership to the buyer if the amount is correct and the money (after deducting his commission) to the seller.
You can find a lot of them on the forums offering their services. Check the feedback on a specific broker before considering him for your deal. Some of the domain Registrars might also offer broker services in domain purchase deals.
