Buy­ing Domains FAQ

Com­monly asked ques­tions regard­ing pre­mium domain name purchases:

1. Please define domain name?

   Tech­ni­cally speak­ing, a domain name is an iden­ti­fi­ca­tion label that defines a realm of admin­is­tra­tive auton­omy, author­ity, or con­trol in the Inter­net. Based on the Domain Name Sys­tem (DNS), your domain name is your web­site address, your unique online identity.

   And quite sim­ply, it is the address on the web where peo­ple will look to find your busi­ness, non-profit orga­ni­za­tion, blog or infor­ma­tion site. This address is (yours and only yours), and no one else around the world will have the same domain name as you.
   Once secured, as long as you con­tinue to renew it each year, it will be yours, always. It is typ­i­cally used as your email address, as well. Exam­ple: info@ModernGardenDesign.com.

2. Once I have com­pleted the domain name pur­chase, how long does it take before I can begin using my new domain name?

   Fol­low­ing con­fir­ma­tion of your pay­ment, “for­ward­ing” the domain name to another site, takes 1– 2 days.
   Com­plete domain name trans­fer is typ­i­cally com­plete within 3 busi­ness days.

3. What do you mean when you refer to for­ward­ing the domain name?

   Domain for­ward­ing lets you “auto­mat­i­cally” direct your domain’s vis­i­tors to a dif­fer­ent website.

4. Upon pur­chas­ing or leas­ing a domain name, will I incur any addi­tional fees above and beyond the pub­lished price?

   Depend­ing on the dol­lar amount of the domain name, pay­ments go through either Pay­pal or Escrow.com. If Escrow.com is uti­lized, there will be a fee of typ­i­cally 2 — 3 % of the pur­chase price, payable by the domain pur­chaser. With Pay­Pal there are no addi­tional fees to the domain pur­chaser. You will know quite eas­ily upon start­ing the trans­ac­tion whether it is set-up for Pay­pal or Escrow.

   If you’re inter­ested in leas­ing a name for a period of time for a spe­cial pro­mo­tion, etc,  con­tact us and we will try our best to assist in your request.

5. Instead of buy­ing a pre­mium domain name, why not reg­is­ter a new name instead?

   You can cer­tainly do that but, for a long time now, thou­sands of domain names have been reg­is­tered each day and in turn, thou­sands are being aban­doned each day. Why?, pri­mar­ily because those pre­vi­ously reg­is­tered names were not good names. They were not the cal­iber names one needs to be taken seri­ously in the world of online busi­ness. The inter­net has become a very com­pet­i­tive place and hav­ing the right name, can make all of the difference.

6. Are the pub­lished prices negotiable?

   The estab­lished prices for sin­gle domain pur­chases are very fair. Assum­ing really good (and avail­able) key­word domain names become more scarce with time, they will con­tinue to go up in price, as they have to this point.

   Dis­counts are given to clients, and domain investors, pur­chas­ing more than one domain name at a time. Con­tact us at info@fortunatedomains.com

7. Is financ­ing available?

   Yes, for most trans­ac­tions. Please con­tact us for details.

8. What are the advan­tages of hav­ing mul­ti­ple domain names?

   Vis­i­bil­ity! Expo­sure! Com­pa­nies pur­chase addi­tional domain names to pro­mote their prod­ucts and ser­vices, thereby expand­ing their reach and increas­ing their poten­tial for sales. Hav­ing sev­eral web­sites con­nected which offer dif­fer­ent prod­ucts and ser­vices, grants much broader expo­sure and opportunity.

9. Do you pro­vide host­ing services?

   No, but we do rec­om­mend sev­eral very good host­ing com­pa­nies on the web­site host­ing page.
