Understanding The Process Of Buying An Expired Web Domain Name

By Yoshie Choi


Nowadays, it appears that virtually everyone is jostling to buy expired web domain names to take advantage of the power of high levels of website traffic. Web experts and online professionals buy expired domain names for personal use or purchase a significant amount of traffic from others who run a web-based business. The main idea is purchasing expired domain names that have an existing traffic flowing into them. The amount of traffic could vary from a couple of visitors to thousands per day.

Once a web domain name expires, it is not immediately deleted, it doesn't really expire on the expiration date. It must go through certain stages before it can be made available for a new registration. The initial stage is a 40-day grace period, during which the owner can renew the domain at the regular renewal price. The next stage is the redemption period wherein the owner can still renew the domain but at an additional cost. Finally, the domain name enters the five-day deletion period, and on the last day the domain name will be made available for public purchase.

There are plenty of expired web domain names which still command a sufficient level of inbound traffic; when you finally decide to buy such expired domains, you can expect satisfactory results. Once you a buy an expired traffic-rich domain and build a website over it, you can still acquire some 20-25 visitors a day, that ultimately translates in an income of roughly $10. Such type of website is an ideal choice for a pay-per-lead affiliate program. However, as was already mentioned, you can acquire an expired domain with much more visitors on a daily basis and translates to greater revenue on your part.

In the event that you have come up with specific answers to such considerations, then you can start shopping for a good, expired web domain name and later you will have to come up with a comprehensive checklist of the most probable names. Once you have the names, you may start selecting the best name for your business and then buy the expired domain name that you prefer. To do this crucial step, you would need to analyze and evaluate the precise use for which you are buying the name for. You can now verify the names on your checklist by entering the URL's on the address bar of your browser and check if any of them has a correlation with corresponding sites.

You have to be aware of several factors before you start shopping for expired web domain names. First, you should never discount the possibility that the original owner can go after you for apparently 'stealing their name.' Next, you have to make sure that the domain name is listed in a suitable category for your purposes. Finally, you have to make a background check as to the history of the site so that you can rest assured that you are not buying something that was previously used for dubious purposes.
