For Sale Website Domains

The price can be dependent upon many factors such as services that you choose and the popularity of the name. For example, a domain name that is very close to a popular website's name will fetch a higher price, as the owner may expect a certain amount of traffic to be sent their way from people who are actually searching for the other site. If you conduct an Internet search for website domain sales, you will find literally thousands of companies. Not all of them are Accredited Registrars.

Many are resellers who are affiliated with an AR. Some Web-hosting companies offer free domain names with their services, but of course there is a catch. Most free web addresses are very long and confusing. For example, if your business is called Fred's Fine Cars, your website will not be fredsfinecars.com (a domain name that you may choose to purchase) but something like 'fredsfinecars.happygowebhosting.com'. This can be a serious problem for your business, as it is neither memorable nor likely to be typed in without a search.

This type of domain name is called a SLD (second-level domain), as the domain extension is from a second party's domain. Another thing that you may notice is that many sub-domains do not contain the familiar www. before the address. This is because the company has not registered an actual domain name for you-rather they've added an extra entry with your name to their own domain name service (DNS).
