@bhartzer and I have agreed to work on a new venture that is designed to protect end-users from buying damaged domains. Some of the risk factors that can be mitigated include:
Prior Fraudulent Conveyance
Domain Theft post purchase
Negative SEO
UDRP Complaint
Civil Trademark Claims
DDoS attack
Copyright / DMCA complaint
RBL/Spamhaus whitelisting
DNS Hijack protection
The product can be sold as a one-off risk assessment report for a fixed fee of $149 per domain. There will also be free API-based risk scoring estimate available to qualified partners, e.g. Estibot, etc.
The product upsell is an insurance product with target pricing of either:
(1) 1% of face value per year
(2) 4% of face value for duration of ownership
Sample domains all of which are taken:
nameprotect.com
nameprotector.com
namedefender.com
namecheck.com
namefacts.com
namefax.com
domainfax.com
domaincheck.com
nameverify.com
nameinspector.com
namedetective.com
Preferred domain:
- .COM
- Up to 12 characters
- No hyphen
- Should convey name protection or inspection as implied promise
- Passes Radio test for word of mouth
Decision on name selection to be made within 7 days.
