There are different ways to purchase a domain

Post by subornaakter24 »

Enter the domain name in the search bar , taking it in quotes beforehand. The result will be links with full information, even about previous owners.


The largest marketplace you can contact is sedo.com . Of course, there are many other platforms and auctions, controlled or not controlled by the registrar.

Specifically, sedo.com is good because it is visited by healthcare email list a very large number of users, to whom you can offer your domain, and therefore sell it faster. In addition, the auction system operating here covers almost all zones.

What's not so good is that Russian domain names are not popular here, and the commissions are considerable. Payments are accepted only through PayPal, and money is also taken for clicks on advertisements placed on the landing page.


You can turn to interceptor services that collect and then put up for sale vacated domain names . SnapNames is very popular in this area. Here the following approach is practiced: the service tracks owners who have not renewed their domain registrations on time, intercepts them and sells them at auction. All you need to do is submit an application for the purchase of such a domain name in advance.

Many people announce the sale of a vacated domain name on forums : there are many visitors here, which means there are more chances to both sell and buy. However, you should be careful, because people are different and it is difficult to be sure of the integrity of each one.

In principle, by visiting any thematic forum, you can find suitable offers there. As an example of the largest international platform of this kind, we can cite dndialog.com or the Russian-language versions dndialog.com and domenforum.net.


Domain names are sold , and quite good ones, by private companies through their websites. However, although the prices here are attractive, you cannot fully trust a practically unknown seller.

It may make sense to search for vacated symbolic names on various thematic sites on your own, but be prepared for the fact that this will take a lot of time and effort.

Of course, you can, by running automatic filtering, get entire lists of free domain names, but for the most part they will all be quite weak, that is, with a low citation index (below twenty). But higher-quality options are scrupulously selected manually, and for this you need to have professional skills.

Don't rush to pay for the deal right away, first study the seller thoroughly. See how he behaves on the forum, and don't attach much importance to a good reputation or the number of comments he left on this site.

First, find out more about the person, find their social media pages, talk to them without giving their name, and don't do business with someone you don't trust. Exercise basic caution and common sense, because it will determine whether you'll waste your money.

It is not that difficult to assess the adequacy of the seller. It is enough to just start a correspondence with him and see how he communicates. You should be wary if you notice such manifestations:

Most scammers are illiterate;

bona fide sellers have long established a scheme for conducting a transaction, there are ready-made conditions regarding the transfer of money and a domain name. But fraudsters make everything up on the fly, and this is noticeable;

The only payment method offered is the Yandex.Money service. But if the transaction turns out to be fictitious, it will no longer be possible to reverse it, nor will it be possible to return the amount paid.

In general, most often scammers in this area offer their “services” themselves, look for a buyer and offer attractive conditions, a good symbolic name, an impressive domain age, an attractive price and even discounts.

Often, even a bot can correspond with you, so be vigilant, do not fall for obvious fakes and do not allow yourself to be deceived.

Check everything ten times before paying. Make sure that the admin rights are definitely re-registered in your name. Remember: different zones may have different conditions, so make sure that everything is observed.

It may turn out that the resource was transferred to you, but without administrator rights. As a result, the previous owner demands a return, declares that he did not sell anything to anyone, and you will be the swindler in this situation.

And another point: serious sellers most often put forward prepayment as one of the conditions of the deal. While scammers, on the contrary, will say that demanding money in advance is a clear sign of future fraud, and reliable people do not need prepayment. Be careful here too.

It is best to avoid domain names that include the names of popular famous brands or are similar in spelling or sound. Let them be ordinary, ordinary symbolic names or satellites.

This advice is related to the fact that at some point the owner of that very brand will notice his name on your platform and you will certainly start having problems. Firstly, a person can declare his rights and demand payment for using a loud famous name. And secondly, the case may even end up in court, such cases have already happened. And although practice shows that in most cases it is possible to get off with a light fright, who needs extra unpleasant proceedings?

Don't panic if you suddenly receive a "sweary" letter calling you a thief, declaring that you have no rights to the domain and that it must be returned to the owner as soon as possible. First, look at who is writing to you, what kind of trademark it is. It is possible that it does not even have a representative office in Russia.

If the claims are truly justified and legitimate, then all the wording in such a letter must be clear and precise, plus all the required details must be indicated in it.

What can be said about the legality of the actions of interceptors who, having seized a domain, try to resell it? The point here is this: for example, there is a company that owns a domain name with a promoted trademark. If you (thanks to interceptors) have the same name, then this company will suffer large-scale losses. But it is extremely difficult to incriminate those who are engaged in such dubious resales.
