There may be many reasons why you might consider selling one or more of your domains, but we can tell you why you should choose to sell your domains with us:
domainAlot.com, is the leading, no-commission domain broker.
Domains cost money to register, renew, and maintain. In other words, they are an expense. If one, or more of your domains, are not being actively used for a business, blog, or project, they can easily become a source of passive income from Leasing, or from being sold outright.
A domain name, especially a high-quality one, can be sold for a significant amount of money. Popular domains with desirable keywords or a strong brand value can be in high demand, making them valuable assets that can generate immediate revenue.
Managing a large portfolio of domains can be time-consuming and expensive, especially with renewal costs. By selling domains that are not generating revenue or don't align with their goals, you can focus on a smaller, more strategic set of domains.
If your business has undergone a rebranding or pivot to a different niche, the original domain might no longer reflect the new brand or business model. Selling the old domain allows for a fresh start with a domain that better suits your new direction.
You may have registered your domain for a lengthy period, such as five or ten years, and as the domain nears renewal and your domain is about to expire, it may be time to consider cashing in on your asset? Instead of paying for renewal, selling your domain to someone who wants it, especially if a buyer's offer exceeds what you originally paid for the domain, is a sure fire way to generate profit and create cashflow for new projects and ventures.
It's a great question, and the answer is surprisingly simply.
Because domainAlot does not charge any sales commission, you get to keep more from the sale of your domains.
In fact, not only do you get to keep more, you get to keep it all! Quite simply, selling your domain at domainAlot.com not only makes more financial sense, but means you get to earn more than you would by selling your domain anywhere else.
Almost every registrar provides a "marketplace" or "after sales" site for users wishing to buy and sell their domains.
It's no wonder, when the typical sales commission charged by these registrars varies from between twenty-five and thirty percent (25 - 30%) of the domain's value. It's easy to see how high-value domains can be extremely profitable for the registrar, but a wasted opportunity for you, as a seller, trying to generate the maximum amount of income from the sale of your assets.
To compare the amount of lost revenue you would experience by selling your domain elsewhere, we'll just compare the three largest domain brokerage sites, their costs, fees, and what you can expect to earn after the sale of your domain.
Sedo is the world's largest domain marketplace. If you were to sell your domain using the services that Sedo provides, then you could choose from a number of options that range from ten percent commission, to twenty percent (10 - 20%) of the value of your domain, as well as brokerage service fees of fifteen to seventeen and a half percent (15% - 17,5%). Additional marketing package fees range from sixty-four to sixty-nine dollars ($64 - $69 USD). And in addition, the seller must share the cost of the domain transfer fee, which has a further minimum commission of between sixty and two hundred dollars ($60 - $200 USD).
While selling a domain at Sedo is undoubtedly popular, it is also without question, invariably expensive, and difficult to navigate with its numerous parking options, sales networks and means of promoting your domain for sale. With its varying fees and commissions, most specially beyond the minimum for domain promotion, it is difficult to calculate precisely how little money you would actually retain, and how much you would have to give away, when selling your domain through the service.
As registrars go, there is none more popular than GoDaddy. However, selling your domain at GoDaddy, or at one of GoDaddy's owned marketplaces, such as afternic.com, involves a number of fees and commissions.
To list a domain for sale at GoDaddy.com, an annual membership fee of $5 is required to enter the marketplace. In addition GoDaddy charges a standard twenty-five percent (25%) commission on the sale of domains through its service. Less complicated than Sedo, yet nevertheless expensive, if your domain is valued at $1,000 USD, then GoDaddy will charge $5 for marketplace membership, and a further two-hundred and fifty dollars ($250 USD) in commission to leave you with just seven-hundred and forty five dollars ($745 USD).
Of the largest domain marketplaces, NameCheap is invariably the cheapest, taking a flat ten percent (10%) commission from the sale of a domain through its services. Meaning that if your domain is valued at $1,000 USD, then NameCheap will charge one hundred dollars ($100 USD) in commission to leave you with nine hundred ($900 USD) after its sale.
