Hello All!

Hello, I'm new to the domain business and have a question: If a .com is already owned and you purchase the .net or .us, etc., are you breaking any rules/laws, provided the domain name contains generic terms (even if the .com is a developed site?)?

Also, I have a few good adult and casino names that I'd like to part with (PM me if interested),

Thanks and have a great day!
Chris

Welcome.

You could get into legal trouble with a trademark infragement... But if the .COM owner/business doesn't have a Trademark, then you can register the other extenstions.

hey Chris, welcome to namepros
As long as there isn't a trademark everything is perfectly fine
There are specific catagories to post your domains in to sell! also you can try advertising once an hour in the live chat!

speak soon,
Joe

another question:

I'm in the process of having some domains I purchased transferred (all .com, .net, .us, etc.). What is the best registrar to use as far as transfer fees? (right now I use 1and1.com),

Thanks again for all the support!
Chris

HI, cwb1865
wow you really mean business,
to answer a few of your questions:
(1) if it's copyrighted and trademark name you get in trouble

(2) kindly offer it to the Adults Only Marketplace, you might find a buyer:
