Afternic, a domain buy and sell site reported that Puzzle.com was sold to an staggering amount of $500,000. It is actually the same amount that Facebook got for its initial seed funding form a venture capital angel. The amount for a single domain is actually enough to come up a tech start up or internet company but in this case, we are just talking to a domain name. A domain with no contents, functionality or product and service to offer yet. Of course, the new owner of the domain will be utilizing it for  maximum profit and with the name puzzle.com, it is guaranteed to attract bandwidth and traffic.

Here is the top 10 Domain name sold with a high price:

Domain selling and buying can actually be a good business venture, with the promo codes and discounted domains, you can stack up domain names and sell it to buyers who needs the domain names for a higher amount and domain registration will just cost you a couple of dollars.

I discovered the promo codes and coupons when I am talking to a technical support of the hosting provider of one of my clients. The tech support asked me if I wanted to upgrade the account to a resellers account so that I could save in registering domains and hosting but since I am a freelance web developer, the hosting and domain name concerns usually is in the hands of my clients, I just populate their empty websites with designs and contents. Before my conversation with the tech. support ended, I asked him if there are other ways in which I could save on domains and hosting fees for my own websites since I am planning to also have my own websites that hopefully well have some revenues  and he advised me to use promo codes and coupons.

The discounts that you get can actually reach up to 50% and thats a lot of savings. The promo codes and coupons works when you register for a new domain or renew an existing domain. Just like the usual process, you purchase a new domain by checking if its available and before you check out, there’s a textbox there that asks for a promo code and voila! you just got a discounted domain and hosting fee!

Almost all of the top domain and hosting providers and even resellers have promo codes and coupons like hostgator, bluehost and network solutions but the hosting and domain provider that I found with the biggest discounts are in godaddy.com and some of their coupons does not expire which means its not just one time use and its a jackpot for freelance web developers like me.

Here are some valid and working godaddy promo codes and coupons.

I was checking out the discounts in godaddy for the .com domains and got overwhelmed in the bargain that I am getting but I was more ecstatic when I saw another bargain – Domain Sale in other Domain Extensions! You can start your domain name registration with this article.

Years ago, customized domain extensions like .info, .me, .tv, .us, .ca and other domain extensions that are not .com, .org or .net are expensive and can cost up to 10 X the cost of a .com domain extension but now some are actually much cheaper.

Why get a personalized domain? Simple, use it for better promotion. It’s an easy and affordable way of promoting whatever it is that you want to promote. If its about your personal life like your hobbies, your thoughts (blogging) then how about getting a .me or about a t.v. show then get .tv domain. For me, domain names are investments, with domain providers offers like the promos in godaddy, everyone can get domain names and reserve it for later use or once it gets lots of traffic and attention from web users, turn it into a money-making website or auction it.

So why not get a domain now or domains before the promo ends or your dream domain name got taken by someone else.

I actually just got my .me domain.

You probably had encountered the same situation and had asked yourself the question, “Why is there such a thing as domain name auction?” Well, to answer that let’s first define domain name auction.

Domain name auction is the buying and selling of existing or already registered domain names from an owner who wants to sell the website even if it hasn’t reached the expiry date. Just like the usual auction, the highest bidder wins. Usually, the domain name auction is being hosted by a trusted site that lists multiple site being auctioned and is also being facilitated by a payment platform to ensure secure transfer of funds and domain properties from the seller and the bidders.

Why is there such a need of domain auction? Domain auction is important because it gives you the chance to own the domain name that suits your specific needs. But the downside of domain auctioning is that some purchase domains with the purpose of selling them in the future, this is called domain name warehousing. With the rise of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the need to register an own name that reflects the specific niche or subject matter of the site also rises thus causing massive domain name purchase and registration.

So if you want to secure you name as the domain name, get yourself a domain name before you see it in the auction site or if you have an eye of business, why not purchase loads of domain names that is attractive then auction it.

I’ll give you a tip, you can actually save on domain name costing by being a reseller, top domain name providers such as go daddy allows you to be a reseller of domain names and with hosting services that allows you to sell domain names or register you own domain names as many as you want. The fee is minimal but the revenue is high.

So my advice is, grab yourself a domain name now!

RSS(Really Simple Syndication) is a form of automated news feed delivery over the Internet. Since it has been introduced, the availability of news and information in a quick, easy format has risen dramatically.

Torex hopes to sell the domain name for such a high price because they feel that with about 4,350,000,000 pages on Google any business could use the name to attract customers and boost their search engine rankings.

The auction for the domain name will be held on www.greatdomains.com. If you think that you might be interested you should contact Sedo or visit their website and search for rss.com

Register.com and SnapNames.com had an exclusive deal that came up for renewal and they agreed to extend the relationship. Domain names which are registered with Register.com but surrendered by their previous registrants are made available exclusively on the SnapNames auction platform.

From the release and summarized by the CEO of Register.com “We’ve been a long-standing partner with SnapNames for aftermarket services,” said Register.com CEO Larry Kutscher. “SnapNames was the first company to offer an organized aftermarket platform for buying and selling domain names. It consistently provides excellent service to its partners and customers and has a great reputation for transparency and performance. Because of these factors, we wanted to continue that productive relationship.”

Looks like a productive relationship for them, for the rest of us I am not so sure.
