How To Sell A Domain? | Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Value of your domain

Setting a fair price for your domain is the first thing you must do. Many people mistakenly overcharge for their domains and then wonder why no one ever shows any interest. A domain does not automatically have worth just because you’ve owned it for a while.

For instance, if your domain ends in .com it will have more values than the others. NameBio.com is a terrific place to look for recent domain name purchases and investigate sales of domain names that are similar to the ones you own.

You can also use automated domain appraisal tools to determine the value of your domain.

Step 2: Decide where and how you want to sell your domain

Now that you know how much your domain’s worth, it is time to start exploring for buyers. You will have a few options on where to look for domain buyers.

Step 3: Update the contact information on the WHOIS directory

Imagine someone looking to buy a domain name, but you already have it. They can get in touch with you and make an offer to buy the domain name from you if they can locate your contact information in the WHOIS directory.

Step 4: Make a for-sale landing page for your domain names

What does one do when they come up with a domain name and want to check if it is available?

So, don’t forget to make a for-sale landing page!

Step 5: Use auctions to sell your domains

As mentioned earlier, there are a few auction sites ready to assist you to sell your domain name swiftly if you are in the market to do so. These websites function similarly to online auction websites like eBay.

When creating a listing, you choose the fixed price, the minimum opening bid, and occasionally the Buy It Now price.

Step 6: Domain Transfer

This is the last step!

It is now time to transfer ownership of your domain name to the new owner. The method of transferring the domain name varies as per your choice of how you want to transfer it.

Generally, the permission code will be provided by the seller to begin the transfer procedure. When the transfer is finished, the seller will then release the money. It is recommended to check again before you start the transfer in case there are any constraints.
