Selling Domain Names — What Do I Do If Someone Buys My Domain Name?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-11-25   Tags: , , , , , ,

I was thinking about buying a domain name for investment. I’ve read about the risks, etc– and I know they’re sometimes hard to re-sell. But I found a couple of “good ones” and I think I’d like to pay a little money to buy them and hold on to them for a year (or three or five).
But my question is this– let’s say I buy a domain name through GoDaddy and hold on to it for three years. And finally someone wants to buy the domain at a price I am comfortable with….. what do I have to do? In other words, how do I transfer the domain from ME to THEM?
Also, if you have bought and re-sold domain names before, I’d be interested to hear about your experiences.
Thanks for reading… any and all answers are appreciated.

    It is fairly easy… Godaddy has instructions for transferring a domain name to a new owner. (It is called a change of account (also known as a “change of ownership” or “registrant transfer”).
    My experience was not in selling a domain name but in selling a website w/domain… not quite the same. Check out the forums and what makes a domain name worth purchasing… http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread…

    If it’s a .co.uk domain, you get a form from Nominet and fill it in to do the transfer, but I don’t think it’s that complicated with .com and other types. You can also transfer it to a different GoDaddy account for free (which is not the same as changing the registered owner).
    But i would advise against “investing” in domains and trying to make a profit on them, in my experience it’s doubtful that you will. I just bought a really good domain for 1 UK penny on ebay. And I tried to sell a few recently, and realised it was cheaper just to let them lapse than to pay Nominet for the transfer of ownership…
