Yeah I get the newsletter, by the time Rick gets the domains or lists them too many people are making money on them so still prefer to dig out my own domains from owners.

Have you had a look at Rick Latonas offers?
they offer financing on some of them but most of the domains seem overpriced to me.

I was looking for an arbitrage opportunity through leasing but prices are putting me off a bit.

Quiet this year Andy, no issue with payments though, just under £1300 per month coming in from leasing domains. Hardly any enquiries but I don’t have much stock to be fair so probably a numbers game to an extent, it’s still something I want to grow more but the present economic climate makes people less likely to expand and spend.

How is the whole leasing side of things going Scott?
Have you had any problems with non payers or anyone negotiating a reduction during the recession?
Is it still a sector you your business you are building?

Yes I would change name servers to their own hosting account which they would need to setup.

For paypal their website has documentation on setting up payments. I prefer to ask the client setup a standing order to my bank.

Thank you Scott for your answer.

I just have some more questions.

When you change the name servers to allow use of the domain without handing it across;you would change th name servers to their hosting company’s name servers?

So they would have to have a hosting account
at a web hosting service?

How do you setup Paypal or another Paypal like service to receive a monthly payment from your web renting customer?

Do you build a payment button that you add to a webpage or do you use special software to collect payments; how do you setup Paypal or another Paypal like service to receive a monthly payment from your web renting customer?

How do you setup a domain to be leased technically so that you can hold on to the domain without giving it away; but leasing it out to someone else and receiving a monthly payment that goes into your bank account?

How do you setup Paypal or your Payment processor to
recieve monthly payments from leasing out domains?

How do you setup a domain to be leased without pushing the domain to the other person’s registry
account?

Umm… domain leasing? That’s totally new concept for me. Seriously, never heard about it

As for the situation, shit happens. But now you know what to do next time to avoid it.

I’ve read this post a couple of time and it’s a shame you’ve got bad experiences from it. Perhaps a better go-between like written contracts, pre domain transfers etc., would be the best option. This may scare off a new domain sellers, but shows that you are serious.

BTW – I’d love for you to sell some of my domains haha.
