DNForum.com - the place to talk and sell domains


DNForum.com is a clearing house for discussions on a variety of topics on domain name sales, domain appraisals, and discussions about domain registrars.

In short, the DNForum.com is "the place to talk, buy and sell domains" and is an immensely popular and well visited community where domainers and the domain name industry meet to talk about domains. A recent MVP poll identified a tie for key community members who both participate and help other members and grow and support the community.

Possibly the best opportunity on this site is when you have some domain names you want to sell. Not only you can get an appraisal and then create buzz and network to sell that domain you’ve been trying to sell. The process of buying an expired domain is a detailed process. It involves first requesting it from a drop catcher, and then bidding on it, if more than one person has requested it. There is no way to know, however, which drop catcher will get a domain.

One of the easiest method which does not require domain searchinng software (which incidentally is a quite costly affair), can be broken down into 4 steps. Finding the domains, shortlisting and trimming down the list, Checking the PR, and lastly, checking the backlinks. For this reason, it’s best to sign up and reserve your domains at forums such as DNForum.com

Launched in 2002, the DNForum forums contain over 850,000 posts and more than 30,000 active registered members, making it the leader in domain discussion boards. DNForum was also awarded the 2006 Name Intelligence Award as the best online community to discuss, buy and sell domains.

“The DNForum partnership is immensely valuable for iREIT,” said Bob Martin, chief executive officer of iREIT. Internet REIT (iREIT) is a next-generation Internet media company that acquires, develops and monetizes high-quality domain names and web properties. iREIT also announced that DNForum’s Adam Dicker has joined iREIT as executive vice president and a member of the Board of Advisors. Dicker will help drive iREIT’s acquisitions, marketing, analytics, content development, and domain optimization and monetization functions.

"iREIT is actively acquiring high-quality domains and looking to build our relationships with domainers, and DNForum will enable us to reach these users while providing much-needed liquidity to the market"

In fact the DNForum.com is recognized as the Best Place to talk for 2006.
