It was brought up at the first uk domain conference this year and will no doubt be there at the next one. It's a valid concept and an option to resale. Sometimes a better option. With contractual and legal bindings it can work well. Setting a pre-lease buy clause should imo be part of the contract where the leasee gets first option to buy at a fixed price post lease or during any point of the lease period, and also should have safety in that the domain will be active for the whole lease period. For the domain owner there should be safeguards that the domain will not be used for illegal purposes (a contract breaker), and in these days of DRS, not breaching any 3rd party copyright/trademark, and that if the lease is not renewed/bought then any traffic generated from the site is immediately available without penalty by the domain owner. Of course, the domain remains the 'property' of the registrant at all times. Stephen The idea of domain leasing is not a new one for the uk market.

It would obviously need to cover minimum terms, termination clauses, terms of use etc. but if all that was nailed down, I'd be up for this...

With you leasing option I can now see hope for their eventual build-out since a well named domain adds tons of value to a well built site.
