Domain name for your business?

So you registered these domains with no use for them apart from holding someone to ransom that should be able to freely register these domains? How much do you want for them?

I'm open to reasonable offers. I have no intention of holding businesses 'to ransom', and there is a significant market in premium domain name sales. If a new business is set on purchasing a particular domain name for their product or service, then they'll pay a fair price. If they don't have the budget, then they can go to the open market and buy a non-premium name at a normal domain-sale price (£5-£50, depending on your IT provider). Any domains that remain unsold after a particular amount of time will be developmed by myself or my associates. Kind regards Alex

alex where have you seen people selling domains at £50 before? its daylight robbery for a new domain and no traffic i too am dead against people buying up huge chunks of the internet and forcing startups to pay a premium for them. its really annoying finding a blank page on the domain but being told you have to pay £100 a year for the site or a one off of something stupid like £200 it isnt a service that you are providing as people can quite easily register these themselves nowadays and you can do it for about £3

nemesis (and what an apt name that is!): I am not involved in selling new domain names, but I have seen adverts around the Web by unscrupulous domain name regristrars touting domains for those prices, and higher. Only recently, one was shut down for selling domain names with false extensions! (.BRIT and .USA, neither of which exist). As you can clearly see, I'm not forcing anyone to pay anything, it is, after all, a free country! As for 'large chunks of the Internet', I think 160 domains versus the 30,000,000 domain names registered (and that's just .coms!) is barely a drop in the ocean. In comparison with someone like dotcomagency.com, I barely register on the atomic radar (they own over 20,000 domains). I am targetting medium to large businesses, who have money to spend in marketing for individual products, services or even time-limited promotions. As for buying a domain for "something stupid like £200", domains are regularly sold for many times that amount if they are worthy of a company's area of interest, particularly if they have a memorable name, rich in keywords - Google are paying more attention to keyword-rich domain names as part of their PageRank formula. It surprises and disappoints me that, on a forum priding itself on helping new entrants to the business community, not a single constructive comment has been put forward. However, if, as you are reading this, you are a business which has a positive interest in benefitting from a premium domain name, then please feel able to get in touch. Kind regards

ok my apologies if i was wrong but i thought you were trying to sell those domains to new startups as you are on the startups website?? large companies will have the budget to do this smaller ones will not can you advise then what service your company offers to add value to these sites? ie if i am going to pay your asking price what do i get for my money i can see what you are trying to say but can you see what i am trying to put across. if you didnt register all those domains a startup could register it for a few pound. if it was already taken then they could apply to the company that was genuinly using it to buy it at a "premium" price. Id liken domain name buyers to people buying concert tickets up and then selling it to hapless punters on the door for 2-8X the proper amount. perhaps you offer other services with this though that would actually add value to this? btw i am just adding my viewpiont while still trying to be constructive feel free to argue your point but dont make it personal it wasnt intended that way and shouldnt be taken to that level

You say "If a new business is set on purchasing a particular domain name for their product or service, then they'll pay a fair price" A fair price is around £20 for a .com or £6 for a .co.uk direct from the registrar. You say "go the the open market and buy a non-premium name at a normal domain-sale price" so if I was manufacturing irons, why do have the right to dictate that irondevil is a premium domain? Secondly whatever the definition is of a premium domain, it can be registered for the same registration fee. You say "It surprises and disappoints me that, on a forum priding itself on helping new entrants to the business community, not a single constructive comment has been put forward" We are concerned with wealth creation businesses which benefit everyone, your "wealth creation" just benefits yourself at the cost of others.

I've got to be honest, I'll be very surprised if you sell any of those names, at any price!

There are a couple that I'm interested in. Let me know a guideline price and I can see what can be done.

For every domain offered there are hundreds of alternatives. I was limited with my student domain but I got round it with different combinations that I promoted so people knew it.

nemesis: Thank you for your comments. I'm here because I'm a start-up, offering services to other start-ups. It seems to be a misconception that start-ups are always small - Start-ups don't have to be small if they have decent funding (£500k+), which I am targetting. Added value services can be supplied by the other part of the business, zero investment e-commerce solutions, zero cost website design, discounted hosting, to name but a few. With regard to concert ticket sellers, surely the case proves my point - the clientele should buy when prices are the opening market rate, if, later, when the market is closed, they still want to get onboard, then they will pay whatever it takes. That concept underpins the very foundation of capitalism. In China (a communist country), laws prohibit competitors from having differing prices - everything has to cost the same! Would that work here? No. I'm learning a new trade for an established business, so that branch is being treated as a start-up, with only my personal time and investment going into turning it into a money-spinner, something I'm sure many forum users here have done or are doing. Adam, a fair price is whatever someone is willing to pay for a product or service, there are all sorts of arguments both for and against each of our comments in academic writings on both Market and Social Efficiency within economics, but if you want to learn the theory, I won't go into it here (not enough words!). It's interesting stuff though. Premium domain names are not always available at registrar fee level as larger businesses may make better owners of particular domains, the domain aftermarket is just as much of a chance for smaller businesses to snap up good domain names before some great behemoth vacuums them all up (as they occasionally do, like Amazon and eBay have recently started doing, and Microsoft never seems to stop doing). Lastly, I am providing a service, or array of services - as any business does and yes, I want to make money, isn't that the goal of a capitalist society? I don't seek horizontal integration, there is an open market in this field and it's still a free country, so my conscience is perfectly clear burty: have e-mailed you.

I've bided my time reading this thread and I have to say I fall on the side of Bison. The trade of domain names has been going on ever since domain names were available for registration and will continue for quite some time. There are unscrupulous companies out ther who will "cyber squat" and then charge the earth but the courts are more and more falling on the side of the business who is arguing they should have the domain name and the squatter is in the wrong. There are several very high profile cases documented on this through Nominet and Icaan. A point to note that Bison is making money for his business. If a company looked at his list of domains, saw one they liked but didn't like the price that Bison was selling it at, simply look for a variation, e.g. add-faq.com is free (or will be until bison registers it! []) A domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay and underdeveloped, non-catchy or long domains are fairly low in value. Let me ask a question. How much do you think the domain www.webmasteredge.com is worth? Without knowing anything about it, you would say nothing. In fact it sold last year to an American firm for over £7.5K! The reason why is that it was drawing 250,000 page view per month. The traffic sold the domain and gave it it's value. As long as Bison conducts his business in a fair way without trying to screw the little man for every penny, I don't see a problem...

Thanks Phil, that's kind of you to say so and fair points made. I believe I am an ethical businessman and to have that called into doubt was a bit of a surprise to me. I am aware of practices which have been publicised recently by domainers approaching businesses and falsely asserting that 'rivals' in their field are about to purchase a domain name in the domainer's posession for an extortionate fee - I disagree with that form of trade in any circumstance. What I hope I've got is a batch of generic, key word rich domain names that could be applied to virtually any sort of business, along with a few fun ones for my own personal pleasure - but hey, if someone wants to buy that, I won't stand in their way! I have had some interest in some of the domains I've listed and am happy to negotiate prices, terms and of course, additional freebies should anyone else wish to get in touch. Thanks again Kind regards Bison
