Roseburg, OR â July 2006 - VRtechDomains.com and DotComerica.com are two new sites created by an Oregonian Team. They are both designed to give Domain Name Buyers and Domain Sellers more control over the domain marketing process. DotComerica.com is for all categories of domains, and VRtechDomains.com focuses on domains with a virtual reality/virtual tour theme. Both Brokerage sites have free lifetime membership and no commission on sales, a combination very rare in the industry.
For those wondering how such a site can even afford its own maintenance, the Oregon Developers (who are also domainers) believe that their combination of features set them apart, and their optional promotional services are unique, economical, and attractive enough to draw website traffic and domain listings.
"It is not unreasonable to expect fees or commissions, but these things are standard practice. We wanted to distinguish ourselves by making the dream site for listing domains," says LuAnn Harmon, one of the creators. âWe tried to look at things from the buyer and sellerâs point of view, not necessarily the brokerageâs. At the same time, support the site financially by offering the same promo services as others, like home page listing, category listing, appraisals, plus some unique services of our own.â She adds.
Truly, the sites are both highly functional, interactive, and refreshingly different from the norm. For one thing, the Domain Search is probably the most flexible in the industry, allowing for multiple keywords, categories, and TLD's in one search. This is good for the buyer to pinpoint just the right domain name.
Another interesting use for the Domain Search is applying it to the domain management system. The Domain Search is applied to that seller's domains only - to pinpoint domains for editing and deletion, either individually or in bulk. This is the best management system for those with a large portfolio who otherwise must search through long lists to edit their domains.
Chris Kunze, the mastermind Webmaster behind the project, is enthusiastic about both sitesâ functionality. âWe tried to anticipate any situation. We wanted it to serve the needs of domain buyers and sellers by putting all the best features from every brokerage we could find in one place. That, combined with advanced server-side scripting and secure programming, make these very solid sites.â Kunze also adds, âSince it is in-house, customized programming, I am receptive to the suggestions of domainers. Adding a new category is no problem.â
In a way, they offer that same functionality to domain buyers and sellers in a service that is a lot like renting a domain brokerage site. Their "Featured Sellers Listing" is for large portfolios and uses the Domain Search on that Sellerâs domains only, excluding all others. The Seller has their own banner, their own categories, their own URL to direct traffic to, and the private offer/counter offer e-mail exchange. The cost is lower than website hosting, or can be set up on a 5% commission basis.
Both sites are definitely user-friendly, with bulk domain addition capacity, help buttons throughout, and a straightforward approach that lacks the corporate high-powered sales pitch, yet donât falter in reflecting user activity in the database display. VRtechDomains and DotComerica are different, but the difference is good.
