Question by PatoJAM: How do you verify that there are no legal disputes on Internet domain names?

The Difference Between SubDomains and Add-On Domain Names Basics

The Difference Between SubDomains and Add-On Domain Names Basics

Let us assume that you have a very good domain name with you. Did you ever know that you could add and compliment another domain in addition to your existing domain name? These domain names are known by the names like sub domains or add-on domains. However, they are almost like slaves to the main domains and they at under the command of the main domain name. These domains are simply the sub directories designed and added to the main domain name at the time of hosting them. This is because they do not posses their own control panels. However, such domains will have their personal index files and CGI Bin folders to help them make unique and special for your web site.

Before you create one of these sub domains and ass-on domain names, you may wish to understand the main differences between them. In fact, the only thing that is common to them is that you can add them to your main domain. They are the additional domain names that can act as subordinate to the main domain name. With an add-on domain name, it will have its own stand-alone URL after its creation. On the other hand, a sub domain is a simple URL that creates a link to the mother domain name.

Example: Add-on domain: www.orchidflowersinthewild.com Sub domain: www.blog. orchidflowersinthewild.com Another significant difference is the cost involved in creating these domains. Add-on domain always comes with a fee attached to it while sub domains are free and you can create as many sub domains as possible with your web-hosting package. You will need to pay an annual fee to register and use an add-on domain name. Add-on domains always share your resources from your existing web-hosting package. It means that you will get additional features from an add-on domain name just like your domain name. It will also possess its own FTP link and other related utilities.

Procedure to add an add-on domain name: Initially, search for a domain name and register when you find it. Once you buy that, you can link its DNS to your web-hosting server. Once you add it to the server, log on to your account and check for its listing in the control panel. Now, fill the name of the domain and install it in the main directory. Wait until you complete the installation process.

On the other hand, you can easily create a sub domain within the main domain name directory. Sub domains are very useful if you are planning to add more web pages within the parent directory. For example, if you want to add a blog to your web site, then you can create a sub domain like www.blog.orchidflowersinthewild.com. You can place a link on the main page of your web site and when a user clicks on the link, he or she will navigate to the blog page. Almost all web-hosting packages provide unlimited numbers of sub domains with the purchased hosting package.

How To Make Money Sell High Quality Domain Names

How To Make Money Sell High Quality Domain Names

Domain name conjecture has to be one of the very best ways to make money on the Internet. It’s easy, fun, takes a very low deal and has a huge profit potential. Businesses and webmasters are always looking for high quality, marketable domain names and will pay you big bucks if you have the name they want. Many people are making a good living buying and selling domain names. And you too can. 
I will tell you the whole thing you need to know, including where to find good domain names that are still available for registration (for as low as .) This used to be one of the hardest and most frustrating parts of domain investing. In the past to find good domain names you would have to search, one by one, until one came up that was available. But now there are research tools and compiled lists that do this for you! You can also get lists of domains that have expired, due to non-payment, and have been put back into the available pool. More on this below, but first lets discuss what makes a good domain name. 

WHAT MAKES A GOOD DOMAIN NAME? 

The suffix is the most important factor. .COM, .NET, and .ORG are by far the most popular. Other alternative domains like .WS, .TV, .FM, are becoming more and more popular because they are wide open. For example where you couldn’t get DW.com you can still get DW.ws (well maybe not anymore). For now, I would stick with .COM because they will be the easiest to sell. 

Would a webmaster or business want it? Ask yourself that question and if you can’t instantly say “Yes!” then don’t buy it. Also the more generic the domain names the better. And remember it is illegal to register a business name or trademark that you do not own. This is called “cyber-squatting” and tough laws are now in place to protect against this. 

The shorter the name the better. These are the most memorable and easiest to market. At the time of writing this, there are only about a thousand three character domain names left. To find out how to get a list of these and four-character domain names see below. 

What names are selling? Do some research on Ebay.com or Afternic.com (popular domain auctions) and see what names are selling and for how much. Below is what some domains recently auctioned for or have current bids at Afternic.com: 

LADoctor.com $ 15,000 
MrAirline.com $ 15,000 
Engineering.org 8,895 
Internetbank.com $ 92,800 
E-Privacy.com $ 35,080 
qalaxycafe.com $ 1,890 
a1restaurants.com $ 730 
stormnews.com $ 765 
SkinCleanse.com $ 2,885 

HOW TO FIND HIGH QUALITY DOMAIN NAMES: 

There is a fairy tale circulating in cyberspace that all the good domains are taken already. And although it is true that thousands of new domain names are registered everyday, there are still good names to be found. The best way to find great domains is to subscribe to expired domain lists. These are compiled lists of the thousands of repossessed domain names that have been put back into the domain pool every day. They are available again for anyone to register and contain some really great names; recently race.com appeared in one and was snatched up by a lucky subscriber. As a subscriber you will get first pick at registering these names. There are two such lists that I know of: 

DOMAIN REGISTRATION: 

After you find some good domain names, you will need to register them. Not too long ago the cost to register a domain name was for two years. But with new regulations and the distribution of registering privileges the cost of registration has become more affordable. Meaning more profit for you! You can now register a domain name for as little as for a year. One place to do this is at  tuc-webhost.com

SELLING YOUR DOMAIN: 

The most effective place on the Internet to sell your domain names is on auction sites. List them first on Ebay, Afternic, and EzDomainAuction. There are also domain name brokers that will list your site for free, a fee when sold, a fee to list, or both a fee to list and when sold. GreatDomains.com is a great high traffic site to list on and you only pay them only a small percentage when you sell your domain. If you have a good domain name, and your price is right it won’t be long before a buyer bids or contacts you. 

Many new domain sellers make the mistake of trying to sell every domain name for thousands of dollars. When, in fact, you will do much better selling more domains for a few hundred dollars. This way you will have a much higher turn around rate. Remember you are registering the names for and if you sell one for even 0 that is still a huge 2600% profit! 

CONCLUSION: 

As you can see, domain name buying and selling is a good way to make a great deal of money. It’s very easy and you can do it in your spare time. Get started today by subscribing free to Tucwebhost .

How are webistes and domain names such a good investment?

Domain Names
by buildakicker

Question by statusquo333: How are webistes and domain names such a good investment?
I have recently spoke wiith my financial advisor about purchasing domain names and building websites. He said since I have some extra capital to use this could be a very exiciting and lucrative venture. There are two domain names up for auction on godaddy that I am interested in one is www.fasttires.com the other is www.findyourdreamgirl.com. Fasttires is already going for $ 40,000 and findyourdreamgirl.com is listed for $ 18,995 my advisor thinks this is a good price to move on before it goes up it could be the next match.com. What do you guys know about these sort of investments I want to build my own web business.

Best answer:

Answer by gazelleintense.com
I had a web site I thought of and bought for $ 20…. it was a great domain name (I won’t mention it here)… a .com domain.. this was 3 years ago or so… I thought about selling it but didn’t want to be bothered… so…

I got tired of it and let it expire… a large domain company quickly grabbed it for about the same price, and they have been trying to get $ 5,000 for it… for several years now… still no buyers… and it’s changed hands a few times between other big domain buying companies.

it is very hard to make big money selling domains… I personally would not risk it by spending $ 40,000 on one… you are making someone else rich, and there is no guarantee that you will sell or be able to recoup your costs, or even make money.

I would FIRE that financial advisor…. my advisor is dave ramsey… he’s pretty smart and don’t cost me a fortune… get his total money makeover book… and listen to his daily podcast.

if you want to invest money look into growth stock mutual funds.. .they average around 12%

How to Make a Profit On Domain Names

How to Make a Profit On Domain Names

It is said that the Land Rush is now a virtual, online by the purchase of the domain name. There is certainly power in domain names are made, as has already posted sales of individual names have offered six and seven figures price tags while whole portfolios have sold for tens of millions of dollars. But this is the exception to the rule, and most of the portfolios are much, much less appreciated. Some portfolios or individual domains do not sell at all, so where is theValue in that? In this article we will use on some of the different methods of professional domainers, to a high quality portfolio of valuable domain names to build and how they achieve a profit.

The first thing to consider is why you want to make money with domain names and what you hope to receive from them. Are you the hope and low purchase price and the areas sell for a profit? Or is it an investment with a long-term strategy of the website development and growth? There are manyto take different paths, if participation in the domain to the market, and understanding where you want to go, is the first step on the path to get there. Some ways are more risky than others, so you evaluate your options ahead of time will help you get better prepared for the challenges. Not everyone can make money with domain names, but the persistent and motivated to do often. Once you have a clear idea of what you have, it becomes much easier to make decisions thatThey move in that direction.

The most obvious way to make money with domain names is to buy low and sell high. This is one of the most common methods used in the stock market and can be very profitable in many domain situations. All the domain names to begin the registration fee, which can be as low as six or seven U.S. dollars per year. Com,. Net and. Org domains. If you happen to own a domain, which perform other value, you register theDifference in the payment of registration fee and it is perceived (and / or actual) value can be a great asset to the domain owner. Domainers who make money with this method often follow trends in the marketplace, registration key words new top level domains (TLDs ), storage and resale desirable domain pattern (three-letter domains, three character domains, etc), or just after what’s hot or pick up domains, how does it (ie a method that isof itself). The general idea, here is a domain at a bargain and a buyer who sees value in the domain and is ready to be found to pay a premium for it.

http://www.buyadomain.pannipa.com/2009/10/how-to-make-a-profit-on-domain-names/

The advantage of selling domain names is that you can generate a reasonable amount of profit in a relatively short time. The disadvantage is that it is not always as planned, and you will not always be a buyer for your domain names at once. It can be difficult to find buyers for specific names toand if domains are not reasonable prices, a buyer can not be displayed. Another disadvantage is that you only have money with your own physical exertion. You need to take the time to find domains for sale, please follow through with the purchase, and then finds a buyer and complete the sale. This process can take quite a long time and requires a degree of risk. You can also kept himself in domain names much longer than originally expected and ultimately played the waiting game. For most Domains, there are much better ways to make profits, but this method does not generate discounts to its potential ability to incomes in the shortest time with the right domains.

Paid parking is another way to make a profit on domain names. This works for some names, most generic domains, typos, or names that receive the flow of traffic. There are many different programs, parking available, but the basic idea to familiarize yourself with a paid parking service and send the> Domain traffic on their servers. Your server will then display ads and search boxes on template generated web pages, and receive a share of the revenue when someone clicks a link or purchase a product advertisers. This system works when the domain earns more revenue per year than the cost of the annual renewal fees. For example, if you pay 12 U.S. dollars per year for registration fees, the domain would have to earn slightly more than $ 1 per month to be a worthwhile option.Less and it costs more to the domain than the amount that produces the area to maintain. The plus side is this method is that if the domain parking setup is, you need to do anything to income, as long as your domain receives traffic to earn.

Many domainers will be parking new domains they acquire in order to measure traffic and to see whether the domains are viable on a paid parking service. If a domain has shown the potential to take advantage of revenue,they will probably think it’s passive income. Otherwise, they will be around for other options for a profit in the domain.

Question by John J.: What is the best way to maximize the revenue from parked domain names?
For instance I have heard radio commercials for parked domain names but I always thought that was a violation of the aggregators terms of service.

Best answer:

Answer by Courtney K
You can do what is called- Cash Parking- from godaddy.

Basically- they load up your parked page with links that they derive click through revenue- like google ad words.

You still need to promote the site for it to get ranked- and for people to actually click on it to generate any revenue.

I found a directory with bunch of expired domain names – the directory page where those domain names are actually has PR = 3

my plan is to redirect them to my main domain

Is it good for SEO or matters little?

Best answer:

Answer by Rus
Not if the search engines catch you. Than bad things will happen to your search ranking.

In my experience, It’s much more effective to simply blog (v6transition.com) about your site and to have a facebook (facebook.com) account for your site.

Well your idea is really great, only problem is Google keeps track on such directories and websites which are either closed or blocked, and if they realized you are using them for your website for SEO reasons, then it will block your website from Search Engines, and then either black mark it or highlight it as a SPAM. So be cautious of using such tricks for SEO things, which made you cause more than anything.

What is the best place to list my domain names for sale?

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Question by Answer Man: What is the best place to list my domain names for sale?
I am just starting in buying and selling premium domain names. I was wondering what brokers or websites I can more likely sell a high value domain on? (,000-,000,000 value).

For example, I list good domains on eBay for a great price and they do not sell. What would be another great option? Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Wizard of Oz
I would suggest that if you list them on eBay and they haven’t sold, you didn’t offer a “great price” – you offered them at a higher price than the market was willing to bear. The market determines price, not the seller.

Lots of registrars like Godaddy have sale services but they generally all want to take their cut.

If you are serious about being a dealer, you might want to think about setting up your own website.

Investing and Making Money Out of Domain Names

Friday, September 17th, 2010
Domain Names
by denharsh

Investing and Making Money Out of Domain Names

Maybe you’ve seen advertisements on websites, or heard stories about a guy who made his fortune as a cheap domain reseller – buying and selling domain names as a business, instead of just for personal use. Maybe you already have a domain reseller account with your Internet service provider (ISP), just waiting to be used. But is it a good idea to buy and sell domains as a business?

Luck of the Draw?

There’s a lot of hype attached to the domain reselling business. CNN reported that “business.com” was sold for .5 million in 1997, and in 2003 “men.com” was sold for .3 million, but these are unusual cases involving very specific domain names, and most domain investors will never get that lucky. Partly this is because it’s difficult to value domain names, and partly this is because of misconceptions that all “good” names are taken. In addition, the availability of country code domains has opened up the domain naming field, allowing people to buy and sell domains with short names and new extensions.

What Makes One Domain More Valuable Than Another?

As stated above, valuation of domain names is extremely tricky. This is because the market to sell domains is driven by the perceived scarcity of “good” names. Most business owners, whether their companies are large or small, prefer a name ending in .com over a name in any other top level domain. As well, memorable combinations of relevant words that can easily be used in a domain name are already in use. Adding to the price increase is the fact that while more than 17 million domain names have been sold, not every one of them is necessarily good. Generally, in order to be saleable, domain names, in addition to ending in .com, must also be fairly generic. “Law.com” “tv.com” and “business.com” are classic examples. (CNN paid several thousand dollars for the tv.com in the early 2000′s.) The reality is that most of these domains will never be resold, and will end up being released for registration at the standard rate of -/year. The notion that highly priced domains must be one word is a myth, however. Word combinations can be extremely valuable if the words are relevant especially considering their value in terms of  search engine optimization. “BookBuyer.com” might be worth purchasing, but “BookSink.com” is essentially nonsense, even if it is short. For this reason, while it is recommended that people seeking to buy and sell domains stay within highly commercial industries (law, loans, books, cars, etc.) it is important that they choose their domains wisely.

What You Need to Know

If you do have aspirations to sell domains, there are certain things you need to know. First, it’s essential to have a domain reseller account. This is a special bulk account through one of the domain reseller programs offered by such domain registrars as BulkRegister and Dotster. Such an account allows you access to listings of domains about to expire, as well as discounts on bulk registrations (generally minimums of 50 at a time). Most of the major domain registrars offer such programs to those who wish to sell domains. Free information rating registrars can be found in online domain reseller review lists, such as the one at RegSelect.com. In addition, it is important to remember that statistics are against making big money as a cheap domain reseller. According to igoldrush.com, of the approximately 20 million .com, .net, and .org domain names sold, perhaps 20,000 of those will be resold within a given five-year period, and of those 20,000, 90% of them are worth 4 figures or less (with most falling into the ‘less’ category).

Other Alternatives?

There are, of course, other ways to buy and sell domains than using the services attached to registrar-owned domain reseller programs. One is to contact large corporations directly, if you’ve secured a recognizable domain that is relevant to their brand or industry, but this is not generally terribly affective. Additionally, there is always ebay. While most products sold through the online auction house are tangible goods and services, they do allow domain sales, and the use of ebay allows investors to do additional marketing of the domains they own.

So Is Domain Investing Worth the Risk?

If you are looking to make a quick buck, domain investing may not be the industry for you. If, however, you enjoy a good gamble, and have the money to spend, reselling domains can be lucrative. Thanks to the afore-mentioned country code top level domains (like .us and .de), valuable names are still available, but successful reselling takes patience and a lot of research to find quality names, and quality marketing techniques. The bottom line is this: if you are seeking to be rid of a single domain you no longer use, your best bet is to either let it lapse, or go through a cheap domain reseller, and let them market it for you. If you want to buy and sell domains as an investment, commit to a high-end domain reseller account at your registrar of choice, and take advantage of their services and support.

Where does Domain Names selling websites get their domain names from?

Question by sami: Where does Domain Names selling websites get their domain names from?
Where does Domain Names selling websites, like godaddy and Yahoo, get their domain names from?

Best answer:

Answer by JoelKatz
They don’t get them from anywhere. GoDaddy and other companies that offer domain names are registrars. When you purchase a domain name from them, they register the domain name for you in a central registry. They then pay the registry the applicable registration fees and make a small profit on the difference between the amount you pay and the amount they pay.
