About Names2Buy.com

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting Names2Buy.com! My name is Jon Hall. I live in Ruckersville, Virginia, a suburb of Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia (UVA) and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. I have been collecting domain names since 2001. This site features those names for sale. I believe that you will find many high quality names that seldom come available on the market here. I am open to all offers for these names! I am NOT one of those domain sellers that is always asking many thousand dollar prices but please be a little reasonable especially for some of the stronger ones. I will price names on request based on my experience and a variety of standard metrics. Please e-mail me using the link next to the domain name that you are interested in (or use the 'Contact' tab above) for more information or to make an offer! I am not a 'telephone person' and have yet to own a cell phone to give you some idea as to what I mean!

We have separated out a few names to feature and some names that have traffic and have positive Pay Per Click (PPC) income from parking at Sedo. We also have featured a few names that we have developed although these names are mostly not for sale. All in all, there are about 1,100 domain names here for your consideration. Many of the names that aren't 'featured' are every bit as good as those that are. I would also point out that traffic and income amounts noted are very much approximate and they are subject to change. Please contact us for up to date figures for names that you may be considering for purchase!

Payment Methods:

PayPal: For lower value domains, I recommend simply using PayPal. My PayPal account is the same as my email, 'jon@halls.biz'. You can verify my PayPal status as a member in good standing since 2001 either by entering 'https://www.PayPal.com/us/verified/pal=jon%40halls%2ebiz' into your browser and then logging in to PayPal or you can log-in first and then enter that address.

Sedo.com: For domain in value from $60 to $500, Sedo.com is a good option. Sedo is a large domain brokerage house that includes escrow services with sales conducted through their site. We can set up a set price offer at Sedo so you can buy a name for whatever we have agreed too plus 10% for Sedo's commission. Please do contact us first rather than making an offer directly at Sedo. Our minimum Sedo commission is $50 for a negotiated sale. For small value domains this makes a sale through this method untenable. We can correct this but if you are reading this, please e-mail me first using a link next to a domain that you're interested in or the contact tabe above. The minimum sales price at Sedo is $60 (US), 60 EU, or 50 British Pounds.

Escrow.com: Escrow.com is a large provider of escrow services for domain names and other products. Their service is an excellent option for higher value domains. Their service costs from about $25 on up. Their fees are much lower than Sedo's domains over $500. They are the most common provider of higher priced domain escrow services here and elsewhere too.

General domain name info:

.COM is usually the best domain extension for any commercial use. Due to its ubiquity in use, it is also highly desirable for non-profits, .ORG users to also own the .COM version of their domain name. There is also nothing wrong with a non-profit to use the .COM (or any other extension).

.NET was of the first three major domain extensions along with .COM and .ORG. .NET was originally meant for internet service providers and web hosts. It quickly became used for all applications and is a very common extension to use when the .COM extension isn't available. like .COM and .ORG, almost all users understand and recognize .NET which is a nice plus!

.ORG is the best extension for non-profits but .ORG names may be used for any purpose without restriction. If you own a .ORG, also owning the .COM is well worth considering due to the .COM extensions strength.

.BIZ is a good extension to use for business applications. Often you can get a good, meaningful one or two word word .BIZ name for a tiny portion of what you'd pay for an identical .COM or .NET name which likely isn't available in any event.

.INFO is a valuable extension to use for sites that are largely designed to inform such as city or school sites, for instance. The .INFO extension may be used for any purpose though.

.US is the United States 'country code' domain extension. You should be a US citizen, resident, or have use for a related .US enterprise or interest. In practice, nothing is really enforced. This is a very good name for American domain users, especially for popular terms that you'll never be getting in the .COM world.

From time to time, we have some miscellaneous extension domain names for sale although we generally stick to the 'Big Five' international domain name extensions (as listed above) and the .US country code extension.

Thanks for looking! I will be glad to be of help in any way that I can!

Best Wishes,

Jon Hall
