Question Leasing Your Domains?

Just writing this to see if anyone here has tried or does lease their domain names?

Regardless if the name gets no traffic or good traffic, how much should/would or do you lease your names for?

Cheers Guys

I think its very hard to do and it does depend on the traffic and revenue, example if you had a name making $500 a month on parking traffic you would want atleast $500 a month leasing it. If you had a domain doing nothing why not lease it for $20 a month as you know your only paying $10 renewal fee but you would be getting $240 from leasing it yearly .

I have 1 domain leased at 10% of its price per year. I mean, I and the buyer have agreed to a price for the domain and then I leased it to him for 1 year for 10% of that price.

Domain leasing is something that I'm thinking about doing (as a buyer), but it puts me off massively when I see silly asking prices per month. Especially when they're not backed up with traffic.

It's probably one of the best ways to go, espcially if you have no intention of developing the domain and parking revenue is poor. Not to mention the way the economy is right now. It's not as easy to scrape $40k together in a short time frame than it was 2 years ago. It can be great for both parties involved.

I've seen a lot of good domains come up for sale which I'd love to own outright, but it's just not financially viable at the moment, so the lease to buy option for me works perfectly.

Sounds like a good concept. If I had someone interested in leasing my domains I would lease them for $5 to $10 a month, nothing to over the top. I just don't really see a need for this, it seems people are more interested in flipping names for sales than renting.

If you would lease them at that price per month, that suggests to me them domains receive little to no traffic and are not generics.

I think there is a need for this. I think right now parking revenue is probably poor. If you have a domain that is only making $200 per month parking and you got an offer for $500 per month from someone who wishes to lease it, it's a no brainer. An extra $300 per month.

Parking revenue fluctuates so much, it makes perfect financial sense to lease it and have a steady, set income from it. You know what you're getting and when.

I would quite happily pay $1,000 per month on a lease-to-buy option too.

Maybe in this day and age that is the way to go and sell your domains? who knows, but I know that is what interests me more.

From buyer's point of view, I think leasing with buy option is the only way, otherwise they risk to build traffic and lose the domain.

Instead of leasing, try and consider selling the domain to the buyer with payments in installments.

That's more or less what lease-to-buy is, is it not?
