selling a domain name

[margrio]

Does anyone know of a British company that will sell your domain name ,either for free or for a reasonable sum.I see lots listed on the web but on investigation they are not what I am looking for .They seem more for big businesses.

You can only sell your domain name if someone wants to buy it!

If someone searches to see if the domain name is available, and finds that it is not, they can always contact you via the domain name registrar to see if you're willing to sell the name. The fact that, presumably, nobody has contacted you up to now, probably means that there's nobody out there who wants to buy it!

Most companies who sell domain names register several thousand names at a few pence each. (They know what people might be interested in, so they register, for example, poodles.com, setters.com, collies.com, spaniels.com, etc, etc. Most of these names they never manage to sell but, sooner or later, a dog lover comes along who regards poodles.com as a name they can't be without. The company then sell this name at a price which covers the outlay on a thousand domain names). So the chances of a single domain name being one which a buyer might be interested in is very remote. (As, indeed, is the chance of finding any firm prepared to act as an agent in your attempt to sell a single domain name).

Do you mean that you want to buy a domain?  If so, try http://www.names.co.uk/ .  They will let you search for available combinations of words and extensions, and the price is realistic.  They will also forward email from your chosen domain to whatever you have with an ISP

Hi. You can sell your domain name through many other sources. For example, You can place your domain names in domain auction site like Flippa or Sedo. You can place ads in domain name discussion sites. You can sell them through brokers.
If you have a niche domain name, Interested people will automatically contact you through whois searches. So make sure that your whois details are correct. You can check your whois details by having a whois search at http://www.whoisxy.com/ Good luck mate.
