How Much Does It Cost To Auction A Domain Name? Domain Auction Prices..

In an ideal world, we could auction all our domains and not have to pay for the auction listings, or for sale listings. Domain Auctions often take a high percentage as well. So we will also be checking the commission fee at each domain auction. But the good news is that domains sell quickly when we place them in the public auction, in these larger domain auctions, and that’s what makes the fee worthwhile. The usual fee is around 15%-20%. And it depends on where you choose to list your auction domains at.

Todays Domain Auction Prices

1. Flippa from $29
2. Sedo from $0-$59
3. Atom from $free
4. GoDaddy Discount Club $9.99 (yr)

Flippas entry level price is $29 to list a domain name. You may want to choose optional extras. And they do charge a commission on top.

Sedo charges $59 to list your domain or website in auction. However, there is a loophole around the fee. You can set your domains as Make An Offer. Choosing this instead of buy it now means you can decline the low offer, and send it straight to auction for nothing. However most domain buyers know this, and only view the Buy It Now domains. Though a public buyer may Make An Offer? You might accept it…

Atom allows you to list domains in their auction for free. But they must meet the minimum criterion for the auction category. For example, the domain must have a score of 7 or above. The average domain has a score of 5. Or, the domain must have at least 10 other TLDs taken, and be a top level TLD. I don’t know all of the rules at Atom, so you will need to go and have a look there. You also have the option to offer wholesale auctions, and entire domain portfolios.

Listing domains in the auction at GoDaddy costs you a whole annual membership subscription. But over time you save, and then you can enjoy more discounts, and sales via GD. Or else, you can link with Afternic, and allow your domains to appear as Make An Offer listings in the GoDaddy Auction, I’m told.

There are of course many other domain auctions. And we will be adding to the list soon enough. If you would like to feature your domain auction, then reach out to us, and we will respond back soon.

I’ve come across something really neat. In my research into Web3 Domains I have discovered you can buy your own TLDs and start earning from them with every sale. It’s something I would personally love to do. And I really hope I’ll get the opportunity to own a larger piece of internet real estate, than I do already. How neat would it be how to start your own TLD?

How To Buy Your Own TLD?

You can now buy your own Web3 TLD with a single click of your finger “BUY” “Order Now” “Checkout”. Ready to embrace the future? Get 50% off your first order + 2 free domain names. All at good prices. You won’t believe it. (Don’t tell everyone!).

What type of domain will you buy? And will you reserve your own single word, and 2 & 3 L combinations?Imagine how it would feel to own your own hosting company, with own TLD? Or pay with your crypto? It’s a very intriguing thought, isn’t it?

What Is A Web 3 Domain?

Web 3 domains are decentralised, unrestricted, ungoverned, and unregulated. They belong solely to you. Buying Web3 domains means that governing bodies such as ICANN can not deregister or cancel them. You still have some responsibilities owning a Web 3 domain. 1. You must show identification. 2. Store your code.

Why Web3 Domains Are Preferred

Once you own a Web3 domain, apparently, according to the experts, you don’t have to renew it again. Unlike other domains which cost you each year, and become more of a liability than an asset until sold. You learn something new every day! And I just learned this. What a handy piece of kit. Thank you… Finally something that will save me some money on my domain names. Good old Web 3 domains.

(I just wish someone had explained all of this to me sooner.).

How To Register Or Buy A Web 3 Domain Name?

You can buy a Web 3 domain at low cost, sometimes half price. And you can also transfer your domains for free (new customers only). You can also browse the Web 3 Domain Marketplace over at Unstoppable. There are only a few domain companies offering Web 3 domains. And not many offer all these options.

How? You can literally enter your details as owner, and add it to your crypto blockchain, as crypto asset. I’m not an expert here. But I’m just sharing what I’ve learned since being at UnstoppableDomains.com. The thing is before you go running over to Unstoppable, I can help you get some free domain transfers. So hold up! If you own a good few .com and you message me, you will be sent a link to transfer names for free. The only time you pay anything at all is if you transfer the domains out to another owner ($11).

Free Domain Transfers

If you like the sound of a free year extension, and never having to renew your .coms again, contact here. Just quote”DN Transfers”. I will get that set up for you right away. You’ll get free domain transfers up to $11 each, plus additional savings within. Learn more about Free Transfers here.

Are Web 3 Domains Really Forever?

A forever domain sounds great, doesn’t it? But Web 3 domains are still open to similar vulnerabilities as Web 2 domain names (registry level domains). And if you publish a domain name, you’ll still need to make sure the site is secure. Though using crypto payments should be a lot safer than old credit cards.

A Premium Domain is a domain with plenty of web traffic, an aged name, short name, or dropped domain with backlinks, and sales history.

There are many ways to research a domain name. MOZ is one of the better known methods, with their free MOZ toolbar, you can view the spam score of the domain.
