Buying a “used” domain name
Well I bought 2 actually. I transferred the domains into 1&1 and notified nominet.
The charge at Nominet is £10 per URL (plus VAT), 1and1 charge their normal registration fees which last 2 years.
I am now the proud owner of www.losangelesflights.co.uk & www.cheaphotelsintenerife.co.uk
Just for the time being I have deeplinked them to relevant pages.
LA Flights is going to an LAX page at Opodo
While cheaphotelsintenerife.co.uk is going to a Playa Las Americas hotel page at Sunshine.
(Edit March 09 – it’s now a fully fledged wordpress site)
An alternative would have been to park them at Sedo but fact is that I will be lucky to get any revenue from either method.
This is an important tip I think : I need to stop buying domains and concentrate on developing websites, creating brilliant content, and encouraging my visitors to buy from my retail partners.
One of the reasons I put the info that I have got these 2 domains is to encourage me to get them developed. A bit of self motivation.
