just dont put any of their info on the contacts and change the dns i guess. That is what I would assume unless you made contracts of some kind.

I've leased a domain or two in the past.

Never actually give the customer full details or full access over the name/account, just set the nameservers to whatever suits them and change some of the WhoIs information.

When it came down to WhoIs information, I kept one section in my name/details and the other sections in the customers details. Everybody is happy.

I'm considering leasing a high traffic domain in the next few months. I think this can be a good way to realize some capital for those with high traffic domains.

My thought is, I can lease a high traffic domain to get hits going to my site. Like paid traffic.

Leasing a high-profile/high-traffic domain seems like a great idea from the leasers side of things, but for leasees it seems to make sense only if the domain name would likely enable you to get a lot of business for whatever you're selling.

Otherwise, shop around and buy a domain that will work for you...

I think leasing FROM someone would seem risky, mainly because they could just pull the plug if they wanted the domain for thier own use

i would guess the person who was leasing the domain would want some type of contract or lease agreement ....

Indeed. Leasing domains can be a bit like them 'free domains' you can get online (.tk), because if the owner decides to evenually sell the domains before the contract of lease is over, your screwed.

Leasing domains can also cause troubles in the end. The leasee may want a longer contract lease, due to the huge development his website has made, and the owner may not be able to supply an extra lease of the domain at the time. A misunderstanding could araise.

I know some people also like the boost about how they 'own' the domain their leasing, which can cause some problems.

I'm not a big fan of leasing, nor do I think I'll do it again. It's not really worth the hassle, although it does earn you an extra buck or two! :p

What about offering a free (or at cost) month or two as a marketing tactic/sales incentive. There might be some cases where a tentative buyer would want to try out a name for a bit particularly if a web template was included.

Leasing a domain name is quite risky without a legal contract IMO, and that legal contract maybe costly to draft, that's why I do not lease domain name personally ^^

You can avoid most of the legal problems by leasing web space that just so happens to include your domain name as the address.

Make sure that in the contract you treat the web space itself as the property involved in the deal and not the name. This is very similar to what takes place in the real estate market; for instance, if I lease a retail shop at 777 Rodeo drive do I get to keep the address if I plan to move?

Still, IMHO, the most important thing to do before jumping into any kind of contract is to consult with an attorney.

On the money!!!!

I deal with these kind of transactions on a regular basis(not with domains) and you can manage it through a contract and a good attorney. You will be able to protect the name, yourself, and maintain control so that any violations of the contract can be handled swiftly. If the transaction is worth your time GET legal advice, it has tax advantages. Again, GET Legal advice.

it seems its a way to lock the domain leaser if they want it really bad into a deal that is over priced because if they establish the domain and get decent trafic "next term" of the lease you can raise the price for them kind of like a land lord, but you can also offer to sell the domain to them at a rediclous amount of money and if they are "attached" to the domain they would have to pay up...
