grammatically.........I have only ever heard of "brokering"

"broking" could be an up and coming term, though, with credit given to Mr. Madoff, investment banks, etc...

Broking is also Brokerage...I have seen Broking used in Indian Business Channel

Brokerage is the only term I have ever heard used.

I see that this is a really old thread but wanted to chime in anyway

Broking can be a noun or an adjective. Acting as a broker is the adjective form (as in "broking company"), while the business of a broker is the noun form (as in "Acme Broking"). Broking is not a verb.

Broker is a noun and a verb. A rental broker, for example, is a noun denoting someone who links up renter and landlord for a commission, but doesn't own anything. Any intermediary is a broker. To act as a broker is "brokering". It means to act as an intermediary and applies to everything from brokering peace between nations to brokering the sale of a house.

A brokerage is the place where you do brokering work, or the business of brokering itself, or commission taken for acting as a broker.

So, in your case, brokerage.com or brokering.com would apply. Though grammatically incorrect in this context, broking is indeed being used by many in place of brokerage or brokering.
