My 30 Point Registration Checklist
Many domain name investors are prolific buyers of hand-registered domains. If done correctly, the practice of hand-registering domain names and selling them on can be a profitable venture, but it’s something that few investors really get right.
If that resonates with you, perhaps this checklist will help. Here, a domainer has shared a thirty-point checklist that they reference before registering a domain name. Would you benefit from using a guided list, or do you simply use gut instinct for registering domains?
