Buying and selling domain names is big business - domain names can be worth millions, and the market is open to anybody..

 

Domain names can be traded like anything else, the aim to buy a name for a given price and then to sell it on for more than you paid for it, sometimes a lot more. For example you could buy a name no-one has registered, such as HowHobby.com, then list it for sale on one of the online domain name auction sites, for example Sedo or Ebay. A potential buyer sees your domain name and make offers to you.

Buying a domain name is easy enough. You either register a name no-one has registered with a place like www.cipwebhosting.com , or you find a name someone else has already registered and then make them an offer for it, you can find these names at places like Sedo, Afternic, Ebay, Bido, etc.

Selling a domain name is however a bit difficult. You will need to spend time and energy to sell it. It is sometimes possible that someone will find your domain name and find out your e-mail address then contact you to buy it.

What is the good domain name; you might like to buy or invest in ?
 
1-By and large they are dot coms (.com are sold for much much better the price than .net)
 
2-It is better to get a generic name, for example, vodka.com, cars.com, perfume.com. Unfortunately these cost far too much i.e. millions of dollars ! So you are probably better select something slightly less generic for exampel, something with two words. One word dotcoms are far too expensive and three word dotcoms don't sell for very high prices, so, if you can, find a good two-word dotcom.

The highest sale dotcom was Fund.com which sold for $9,999,950 , DataRecovery.com was second at $1,659,000 Invest.com came in at number 5 and sold for $1.015,000, NewlyWeds.com was number 65 and sold for $130,000. For all the major sales reported check out DNJournal.com

If you find a good name that hasn't been registered it is a good idea to register it quickly. On the internet you can find different prices mainly starting from $10 to even $30. Also, while checking the price you must check the "services" included with the given price. Because sometimes you can buy cheap domain but for all necessary things related with your domain you must pay additionally. For example, to transfer your domain to your buyer or DNS, etc. You can check www.cipwebhosting.com with around $9 .com price and lots of free services like free hosting, free email, free blog, etc.

One more note, stay far from trademarked names i.e. names containing Google, Microsoft, Sony, etc. You will only cause yourself a lot of trouble.

While waiting to sell your name you can always develop it into a blog or mini-site to bring in some revenue. Also, you can use free parking option on cipwebhosting.com .
