How to Sell a Domain Name

To sell a domain name, ensure that you sell at a price you are happy with and do not sell yourself short. People often buy domain names buy conducting a search on the name itself, so pick one that is obvious to the buyer. For example, if you are selling a domain having to do with animals, put the name of the animal in the domain name. Other times the buyer might visit a domain name registrar and conduct a search for an available website. Use a very popular domain registrar to help increase your chances for a sale.

  1. First: Post your ad in as many places as you can

    You can post a for-sale sign on the page that is for sale, thereby increasing chances for a sale. Also try posting for-sale signs on other websites for additional exposure. If you want to use a domain brokerage service this could prove a wise move, as the sales staff may have more resources available than you. If you have more than one domain for sale, you can use a domain sales site. This allows you to post all of your domains for sale on just one website, cutting the need to create multiple websites and venues to advertise your sales. The whois.com website is very popular and has a very strategic advantages: they often get indexed by Google, which is a power-house for any type of marketing. They make basic availability checks but can also help the buyer find unregistered and expired domains.
