Fenks, and which auction site is best to make up of as a nigerian? that support any of the above collectors

Afternic, sedo, godaddy auction, dynadot, aftermarket/igloo and namepros for cheap sales when you need quick cash. Non is against Nigerians.

GJulius:
Goodness Goodness Goodness
Having retired from domain business for some months now due to my inability to sell any of my domain names (up to 15). Then I made up my mind to allow all of them to expire because I'm not ready to spend any dollar on them again. But to the glory of God, I receive a message today saying...

Dear So so so,

A buyer has purchased pi***gla***s.com from your listing in our marketplace. The domain has been moved to the buyer's account. Your Dynadot account will be credited $95.00 USD for this sale once the processing period is over.

Best Regards,
Dynadot Support Team.

I pray for somebody reading this, you will receive your own goodnews in Jesus name. Amen

Amen and amen. You see, domain biz requires so many skills to make money and patience is another major faculty in the world of domaining. You just have to be patient and market your domains very well. You must always look for means or way of selling them.

Julivas:
How do i buy, sites to buy and where to sell? Thanks.

You are not starting where you are supposed to start from. Do you want to make some unnecessary sacrifices?

Just get a card from your bank and go ahead to either Godaddy.com, name.com, namecheap.com, dynadot.com and many more.

But don't complain of anything. Nigerians like cutting short corners. This same thing happened when forex first known in Nigeria in those days and now many have learnt lessons.

How to Understand the Intrinsic Values in Domain Name

What are the intrinsic values of domain name?

Intrinsic are the values that can not ordinarily be realized, except by the experienced who could understand the values a particular domain name is having. Such values are given the startups series of challenges to identify.

In a case of a brandable domain name, for example: BrandBucket.com – a startup will definitely ask you about that particular domain name - Brand bucket? He or she will ask you of what value does brand bucket meant? And they in most cases rather use a literal meaning for it and say - it has to do with brand and bucket or a typical bucket is brand bucket.

Though, the name has to do with collections of some properties in their website; which stood for bucket.

Again let’s look at Google.com - in the case of Google.com. The name Google was coined from goggle – the spectacles or medicated glasses or reading glasses. We all knew their businesses are to crawl every website and to produce results for who are searching for information. And they are good at it.

Please read full story on my blog

I will be back in a few minute for a new article.

Julivas:
Well done @all. Please, for new person in this biz, can someone summarise all the processes involves. Thanks.

smoothvee:
I want to sell a domain of mine www.sugaryarns.com how do i go about it or is anyone here interested ? Its been paid upfront for two years.. so till 2018

It requires learning to make any good name and thus to answer you that I doubt if anybody can buy such a name. But keep trying may be you can find someone without knowledge to buy it from you. Even the Gurus are dropping names!

2sexynet:
okay bro.


Domain can be slow sometimes. I have 4 domain transactions going but ONLY 2 is certain to receive payments for.

The other 2 aren't responding. Guess they are busy.

The policy does not stop you from getting in money from buyers. The limitation is affecting us only when we are spending.

warrenweste:
sounds nice but was told gtb will stop card payment today and stanbic will also stop ont the 19th

According to the message received from GTB today. Gtb is not stopping but have just reduced to $100 monthly spending

2sexynet:
Get payoneer or dom and keep rocking.

I have payoneer funding is another challenge, dom is automatic for GTbank account holder, activation of the dom also requires $100 cash.

Domains sales now at netfirms.com and dotster.com. The sales includes .com, .net and .club for $1.99

Abcruz:
chai! I weep for my country.

Whip not for Nigeria but for Nigerians. God has already blessed Nigeria but the citizens are the problem.

warrenweste:
Yh was told I have to be in the us or have a active business in the us

Yap! you are right, but you may not necessarily need to physically be in US, but if you have US address or business in US to register it.

warrenweste:
How are u able to register. Us without the country restriction ?

Have you tried and restricted?

Recession is now in full blown moon with Nigeria, as we can only spend optimal of just $100 in a month through Naira MasterCard. Chei! Habba?

God I pray for the innocent citizens of this nation for quick recovery in Jesus name. Amen.

chieveboy:
I had vented my anger at their support team before...I was even asked to send proof of address and photo ID,yet my domain wasn't registered. I only found success after retrying the second time. I guess I got lucky. I doubt if there will be issues when it's time to transfer cos it's automated. The automated part of it like the registration is fast.


I don't fear the transfer issue cos ICANN regulation has it that you will be able to transfer out after the Lock period is over. Besides, there is a transfer button which I know isn't there for fancy.

The call is done by humans...based on my research, the support team say they had so many calls to make and are not really in love with the call thingy--its a directive by their management.

I had forgo registering some names before due to insufficient funds. I think for the sake of a domain @ $1.33, I had to be patient to pass through their baptism of fire.

I brought you this link to digest strictly for you because of your thrust on them: https://www.namepros.com/threads/znetlive-you-decide-what-kind-of-registrar-is-it.977276/

Other nairalanders can also borow a leaf from this incident.

rjek:
Wat is d minimum amount afternic pays on parking and wat is d date of payment?

Is parking still making money for some people? Nice!

Cheers.

iykepromotions:

Thanks

Cheers.

Well! Up to you. Registration is not as difficult as that. I am sure something else is behind this their rubbish. Good luck.

chieveboy:
I don't think so, at my own end, it's cash and carry.

Admittedly your first registration may span up to three days because their security team must verify you first through a phone call that may come forever.

In my tutorial, l stated that you can get your account approved same time you are regging by Twitting at the suport team. They reply faster on Twitter. @FHTeachTeam.

What twitter? I twitted, no any response and now when there is no problem, they are doing this, what about when there is urgency to transfer domain to a buyer? Is this what they will do? This is very, very unusual!

I am telling you, they are even worst than any of such business in Nigeria. What security? this is very abnormal, you will find yourself to blame at the end of the day. The procedure is very wrong, in this twenty first century. How can registration takes 2 to three days. Registration of Uk domain is not even as difficult as this. I have never seen this type of registration ever before.

I have submitted my payment details since 11.45 and no any call up till now 4.19 PM Nigerian time. This is a good way to still any nice domains.

If I'm called at the end of the day, I will not even pick it anymore as I am very sure, that the end can not be alright.

No wonder, people passed such recommendations on them.

You have to watch it. You may not be able to transfer your domains from them.
Rubbish! Registrar.

chieveboy:
Like l said, l just registered 9 names. Perhaps they hadn't sorted Nigeria out then. try using the method l wrote earlier. Use twitter to contact them instead. Thanks.

They are very awkward. It takes too long to register domain with them. One can by so doing loose a nice domain.

melodyogonna:
i have two questions,
1: do you pay to park domains?
2: can you sell parked domains?
thanks as you answer.

1. You don't pay to park domain, but you pay to register or buy your domains
2. Parking is for you to keep your domain waiting for buyer/s

Cheers.

addictiv:
Thanks....dynadot looks cool tho. I ll check them out.
Cheers

dynadot is cool. I don't even know how you are comparing Nigerian host/registrars to all such of abroad. Every host in Nigeria are resellers of either Godaddy, etc.

warrenweste:
pls is it necessary to fill the tax form at afternic before receiving parking revenue?

Sure, if If you are a US citizen, but I don't think so if you are not. However, you will be informed if it is necessary before clearing your proceeds.

warrenweste:
I guess you are referring to fighal..

Oh! Sorry, you are right.Cheers.

warrenweste:
.
How much did u sell that name for?

You have missed a factor that could make you sell more high and you kept the value without using it to your own advantage.
He now tried to use that against you.

Good luck and cheers.

Nad95:
Gurus in the house. Domaining is not easy ooooo. If you dont have deep pockets , you might give up on domaining. Well, I wont give up. I am learning here, namepros, domainsherpa, namebio, etc. Just caught this name yesterday(a 6 year old name) attorneyinmaine.com. What do you think?
Shalom.

Good for directory. But it is hard dealing with Attorney

blazer234:
