What about them? As a lease-holder (lessee) you don't pay for technical support or incur any service charge for the setup and use of a domain during your lease.

No. Simply put, the domain owner (lessor) is obliged to implement, maintain, and revise when necessary, all DNS Settings that enable your use of the domain during your lease (The Active Lease Period).

There are No Parking Fees for you (lessee) or the domain owner (lessor). In fact, if you found your way to this page from outside of domainAlot.com, then you more than likely found your way from one of our FREE Parking Pages that domain owners choosing to use our services can use to help promote their domain.

None at all. domainAlot.com, is not a domain registrar, or a marketplace that is owned or affiliated with one, which means we have no hidden interest in helping domain owners sell or lease their domains. We are an independent broker, which allows us to be completely transparent, and for our members, we provide a host of advantages over other domain aftersales and marketplace services, including:

• No commissions from the sale or lease of domains.
• No membership fees for our users to access the marketplace, purchase a domain, or to secure a domain lease.
• No hidden fees and charges for users wishing to purchase or lease a domain.
• No escalation rates during a leasing term (The Active Lease Period).

Only if your current lease has expired and you chose not to renew it before expiration. Once you agree to one of the Leasing Plan options, the price of the lease is set for the duration of the period.

Unlike other domain brokers—who generate revenue from commssion—we believe that honesty is the best policy.

The domain owner (lessor) is free to set the value of their domain prior to listing it for sale or lease. However, once the domain is listed, the price is set and cannot be changed. We feel that this is the fairest approach for both parties (the lessee and the lessor).

For example, at the time of listing a domain, the owner believes the value of their domain to be worth $1,000 (USD). Having chosen to lease the domain, your site and brand have proven successful and generated enormous traffic, increasing the domain's value three-fold. It would be unfair that the domain owner should then demand that you pay more for the work that you have done and investment that you have made to create this value, which is why you are able to evoke the Buyout Clause of the lease to purchase the domain outright, should you wish, before your lease expries. If, however, you choose not to, the domain owner is free to revise the valuation of their domain for the next potential lease.

Bear in mind that the opposite could also be true, and that a project, or campaign was less successful and actually contributed to diminishing the domain's value. For the domain owner (lessor) they may be forced to reduce the valuation of their domain in order to be able to lease it once more, and therefore the value of the lease and the income they could expect from it could be significantly lower during the next tenancy.

Once you agree to your preferred Leasing Plan, and payment is made, your lease becomes active. Because the domain owner (lessor) must also commit to providing, maintaining, and revising the DNS of the domain, as well as continuing to pay for its associated renewal fees for the duration of the lease (The Active Lease Period), in order to ensure the Leasing Agreement is honoured, it would be unfair for either party to be able to terminate the lease and thus potentially inflict a damage of interest. For these reasons, domainAlot.com does not offer a right to termination of lease beyond the terms agreed by the lease-holder (lessee) with respect to Usage Rights of the domain during The Active Lease Period.

When a domain owner (lessor) lists their domain for lease, they are entitiled to restrict the use of their domain for specific use. For example, pornographic purposes, hateful or otherwise inciteful opinions that might damage the reputation, value and status of their digital asset.

Within the Lease Agreement for every individual domain, the specific areas that the lessor has determined the domain cannot be used for is defined. It is important for the lease-holder (lessee) to ensure that the use of the domain owners domain abides by these restrictions in order to respect the lessor's property and maintain their lease.

Yes. Every domain owner who lists their domain for lease on domainAlot.com must commit to the Terms of Leasing. Within these terms, the domain owner must agree to sell their domain, should the lease-holder (lessee) wish to exercise the Buyout Clause.

In your Account Dashboard, the domains you are currently leasing are listed as Active. To the right of each domain in this list is the option to exercise the domain's Buyout Clause.

The Buyout Clause can be evoked at anytime during your lease, from the moment your lease becomes active, up until thirty (30) days prior to its expiration.

The cost of the buyout is calculated largely by the term of your lease, and details of the total buyout cost will be specified in your Lease Agreement.

If your lease of a domain has expired and you would like to renew it, you must bear in mind that the domain owner may reject another term of lease, or decide to increase the value of the lease. The domain owners obligations to the lessee is only during The Active Lease Period. Therefore, we always advise users, interested in extending the period of their lease, to do renew it before the current lease expires.

To provide flexibility and options for both parties.

For the lease-holder (lessee), three years provides ample time to test market acceptance for a startup venture, project, or campaign, and the ability to decide if you would like to purchase the domain outright and transfer ownership permanently.

For the domain owner (lessor), three years provides a guaranteed, stable source of passive income, after which time they are free to reappraise and adjust the value of their digital asset, based upon market demand.
