This is what i'm referring to: http://www.namepros.com/legal-issues...ddy-tdnam.html

It throws valid concerns of domain safety on the table. I hope that LeaseThis.com has a measurable security protocol in place.

Broker

That link doesnt have anything to do with domain leaseing? I understand the concern over safety however.

That said, I have two domains at leasethis.com and awaiting for email to price them.

As long as you have them locked at your registrar it doesn't make a difference where the domain is pointed or who the host is. The who-is info does not change to the best of my knowledge. If you have to relinquish your control of the registered owner then this will fail.

I don't see this program making it easier for cyber-jacking. The security issue is just with if you trust your registrar or not. My rule of thumb is " If the domain is worth $### move it to Moniker"

Thank you for stopping by Jonathan!

I have a question related to advertisers:

I've submitted a small portfolio of Real estate domains that do not relate to the regions of the U.S. so i am wondering...

Does the current portfolio of advertisers only originate from the U.S. or other regions/countries as well?

For example,

Canada?
Europe?
Azia?
Middle East?
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=284674

Secondly...

I think I'm not alone on this one, i have compiled a extensive list of prospect buyers for the domains i have submitted and which are accepted.
This list could be very helpful to pull in advertisers since all the contact details as much as where obtainable are included.

Is this something you could work with if the domains are interesting enough?
Meaning, that potential advertisers will be approached by LeaseThis?

Once again Thanks for coming to the forum

goodkarmaco

I may have done something wrong as after receiving approval I cannot seem to find any place on the site to actually import my domains for leasing.

I cannot find a link anywhere to import my domains. Is it possible I might have signed up and not clicked a certain link such as "domains" and I might have clicked on "lease" domains?

Also the site seems to be only a skeleton at the time and needs much more navigation tools.

many thanks,

Roderick

Great Questions! I've done my best to answer each one. Keep posting other questions and I'll respond again tomorrow night.

Best,
Jonathan

1. Will your program be focusing exclusively on .com domains?

No, we are accepting all valid TLDs. Keep in mind that most advertisers are still overly obsessed with .com, but as the market continues to mature I firmly believe we will see other extensions begin to lease.

2. How will LeaseThis.com handle spammers who are looking to use a leased domain?

Once a lease is agreed to by both parties, we collect payment from the advertiser and the DNS is changed to ns1.leasethis.com and ns2.leasethis.com. If at any point during the month there is abuse by the advertiser, we immediately terminate their lease. And if at any point the domain owner moves the DNS, we offer a full refund to the advertiser.

3. As a domain owner, do I have to have a minimum amount of domains in my portfolio to be eligible to join LeaseThis?

Just one…initially we had a 100 domain minimum, but we are shifting the approval process and lifting that limit.

4. What are the increments of domains contributed that shift the allocated payout percentage?

It is based on total monthly lease amount. For example, someone who leases 100 - $20 domains would be comparable to a person who leases 1 - $2,000 domain. Once someone crosses the $500 per month in leases they should contact us for an increase in rev share.

5. Is there a minimum amount that domains can be rented for? e.g, Minimum rental amount per month is: $xx/domain?

We are offering a “suggested minimum” of $20/month

6. How will the payout take place? Check, Paypal, direct wire and in what time frame?

Any of the above and net 7 from the end of the month of the lease

7. What information will you need from a domain owner, how will submitted domains be verified to actually belong to the person that offers it for lease?

User information will need to match the whois and for private registration email verification will be required. Once a lease is requested we contact the owner and thoroughly verify all elements of ownership. Keep in mind that the DNS will have been switched for 30 days before any payment is issued to a domain owner so collecting money from a fraudulent domain lease is impossible.

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=284674

8. What are the security measures in place to protect the domain owner and the leasing party?

As described above we collect the money at the beginning of the month and release it at the end of the month to the domain owner. The main security measure in place for the advertiser is that they receive a full refund if the domain owner moves the DNS during the lease. The protection to the domain owner is that the DNS never switches from our servers and you are guaranteed payment.

9. Is there an internal interface that lets the domain owner check on the stats of the domain, or will it be completely hands off once the domain is rented?

The domain owner and lessee will have access to the domain stats for the duration of the lease.

10. Can you please tell me what is in place stop lessee's severely abusing domains?

We have strict guidelines in the contract that prevent a lessee from abuse of a domain or a domain name. Once notified of any abuse we would terminate the lease immediately and still provide payment to the domain owner.

11. I got approved but don't see how to add domains?

Chances are you requested a lessee account. Contact Kristine@LeaseThis.com and ask her to change your account type.

12. Does the current portfolio of advertisers only originate from the U.S. or other regions/countries as well?

Mostly from the US at this point although in the last 2 weeks I have started getting inquiries from other countries.

13. Will potential advertisers be approached by LeaseThis?

Yes, we have a sales staff that we are continuing to grow. If you have lists of legitimate leads that would be interested in leasing your domains, we are more than happy to follow-up with them.

14. Also the site seems to be only a skeleton at the time and needs much more navigation tools?

We are in Beta and have lots of additional features and some nifty tools already in production. We plan on launching the full version on April 2nd. 2007.

Suggestion for the Account Login Interface: Put a "Forgot Password" button in place. I managed to forget my own password, go figure.

Thanks,

Damion

Thanks for answering our questions Jonathan!
To whom should i send an email regarding my submitted domains and the list of prospects i have compiled?

Anyone in particular?

goodkarmaco

Yes, thanks for the clarifaction Jonathon.

Another question, what if someone wants to buy a domain through leasethis? I dont see this on your site, just price setting with option to buy. Whats your cut if any?

thanks!

Lasher

I like this from a domainers perspective, but unless the leases are "lease to buy" with a fixed amount at the end, a company would have to be crazy to build their online business and brand on a domain that could be pulled out from under them at any moment. A business owner is faced with the potential of being asked for huge sums of money in order to retain the online brand they built unless a buyout price is set up front, I just can't see why they'd do it.

Broker

Lasher, there is an option to buy domain with whatever you set your price to. My question is, what is leasethis.com's cut of that deal.

Lasher

Cool, my bad, I should have read the full T&Cs before posting. Is that binding to the seller? IE the buyer can lease a name for, say, $200 a month with a 20k buyout offer or walk away after X years, and the seller is then contractually bound to sell the name, or, is it just an "option"? As a business owner, I could go for that. Not using my start up funds to buy a good domain (which are generally not very liquid if things don't work out) with the option to buy it later if the business does well.

It will also be interesting to see how this is enforced with overseas holding companies, what weight will a contract signed with a .US company hold with a registrar/domain owner in China for example? Don't get me wrong, I really like this concept and it's great to see a new approach in the industry, I just hope buyers are educated enough and do their due diligence (or leasethis do on their behalf) otherwise a handful of horror stories hitting the press could kill the whole thing.

LeaseThis:

I have someone who is interested in purchasing a name of mine on payments. I really don't want to do that and lose control of the name while I await his payments. I was thinking about a lease-to-own program for him. For example, an initial down payment of perhaps 20% and then 12 monthly installments to complete the deal.

I could write up my own contract, hold on to the domain and point the nameservers to his choosing, and then once paid in full, transfer the name. But, I would understand if the other party might have concerns about trusting me.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=284674

So, my question to you is, can your company act as the 3rd party escrow account for a transaction such as this? And, if so, what would your charge be on a total contract value of around $15,000?

If not, do you or any one else have any suggestions or recommendations?

maildeepak

I am very much impressed by this point. Now if the company really keeps up their word about promoting our domains like they claim they will do, then our headache of marketing the domain to the end user will come down a bit.

For ex, It is sort of the marketing involved in the sale of Vodka(dot)com. A person from a reputable organisation contacting a small/medium business will have a better recognisable value than a domain owner like me. and the chances are very much that atleast discussions will start.

i signed up for a domaineer's account and waiting for the confirmation email.

Hoping for a successful relationship with LeaseThis....

All the best guys for this wonderful initiative.

Travis, I will certainly be contacting you regarding this. I do feel however that there should be some kind of guidelines/terms already in place for this on the website for us domainers to go by.

Damion

Provide as much details as possible, i have provided a list of prospects as well.
I included as much contact information as was obtainable by me.

Company Name:

Contact person:
Tel:

I presume this would be the best route to take.

Any information for people other than U.S. ?


- Do I earn from parking[as on Sedo, NameDrive, so on] the Name Server other than the domain lease money every month?

- Can I transfer back the domains in case the domains aren't earning as much on the Parking websites I am curently using.

- Should I lock the domains?

- I have changed my contact information[except for my email] for some registrars to make myself private. Will that be a problem here?
