Domain names have the potential to sell for a lot of money. The most valuable domain names on the domain name aftermarket are .com domains. Other premium gTLD domain names such as .net .org .edu also get a lot of interest, as do some ccTLDs such as .uk (country code top level domain for the United Kingdom)
So you’ve decided to sell your domain name! You now have a few options to consider regarding how you sell it. You could use a domain name broker. These individuals/companies will oversee the entire sales process, including all advertising and promotion.
Domain name brokers will generally only take on domains that they consider being of real value. They usually work on a commission basis, which means you potentially might have to pay them hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds, depending on the price at which they sell your domain name.
Sedo.com is a very reasonably priced and respected domain broker. They allow you to sell your domains through their domain auction site for no up-front fee. If your domain sells they will take a 10% commission plus a minimum charge that starts at 50 Euros. This price includes an escrow payment handling.
If you have some knowledge of the domain name aftermarket you could attempt to sell the domain yourself. This way you will pay no middleman but you’ll have to factor in the cost of any marketing and advertising that will be required.
Another option is to simple stick up a for sale page on your website and just wait, in the hope that someone interested in your domain will simply stumble upon your site. You will be reliant on someone finding you by virtue of the fact that someone wants to register the exact same domain name or by someone finding your website in the search engines.
