FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Have the names been valued by an independent appraisal service?

No - however we have over 10 years industry experience and have undertaken in depth research ourselves on the prices that domains have sold for over the years. We also know how to monetise domains and how they can be developed into high traffic and high revenue sites. We believe that the minimum prices we have allocated to each portfolio are extremely competitive.

How do I make a bid?

See the "How to Bid" - Terms and Conditions section.

How will I know if I am successful?

See the "How to Bid" - Terms and Conditions section.

How long will it take to transfer the names to me if I am successful?

See the "How to Bid" - Terms and Conditions section.

Can I buy individual domains?

This is a "Portfolio Auction". However if you want to make an offer for an individual domain listed please fill out our Contact Form and tell us the domain you are interested in and the price you wish to offer. If at the end of the auction running time (and counter offer period) we do not have any bidders for the portfolio containing the domain, then we may consider selling the individual domain name in question.

How many domains are there in total?

236 in total consisting of 6 sets, 16 pairs and 151 single domains

Why are you selling the domains if they are so valuable?

We are an internet publishing company (see the "About Us" section) and we own over 1200 generic domain names. We already run one very large site "Britishinformation.com" and this is our key focus. Although we do plan to go on to work on many more of our generics - we have realised we will never have the time or resources to develop them all or exploit the potential they hold. It therefore makes more sense for us to sell some of the premium domains now and utilise the income generated from them to move forward with our core business projects.

There are a number of hyphenated domains - it has been said that these are not so valuable - what are your comments to this?

Some people would argue that the hyphenated names in the portfolio are not as valuable. For pure resale value at this current point in time that argument is true but we have taken this into account when pricing our portfolios. However as developers and SEO experts we actually think that the hyphens are just as good for somebody who is looking to build on the domains. In our opinion and in our experience the hyphen makes no difference from an SEO perspective and there is a school of thought that says it could even be a positive. We will even go as far as to predict that average sales value of hyphenated generics on the secondary market will increase substantially over coming years as other people begin to realise that they can generate as much traffic.

Are there any legal issues that you are aware of that could be problematic with the names?

No

How old are the domains?

22% pre 2001, 42% 2001 - 2004, 27% 2005 - 2006, and 9% 2007 onwards
