Any advantages to leasing a domain rather than buying it?

Oracle Porn · 02-20-2004, 03:21 PM

none what so ever.

angelsofporn · 02-20-2004, 03:25 PM

for the owner of the domain yes

chemicaleyes · 02-20-2004, 03:34 PM

none for you, unless you are doing the renting out

Mr.Fiction · 02-20-2004, 03:35 PM

If you do it, you will be building someone else's name.

I dont think any of the domains available are valuable enough enough to consider leasing

If the domain is a typo domain.

Using the traffic from a typo domain might be generating is not a bad option if the roi is there.

However, If you plan on leasing the name to build your site on, I would buy the domain outright or set up a rent to own arrangement.

I have a couple names I purchased this way in my early days before I had the money to just buy them flat out.

WankTank · 02-20-2004, 05:13 PM

you can do that?

Keev · 02-20-2004, 05:17 PM

of coarse you can but only smart domain owners who arnt about to sell high end domains without the right offer will suggest leasing because its free stable money where as if he didnt lease it he would either have to do some work and worry about finding a sponsor to convert the traffic and nothing is set in stone when it comes to sponsors and how the traffic will fair.

The Rent to Own scenario is probably the best case for this.

I was thinking if there were TAX advantages but according to my accounting contact, there's none.

Keev · 02-20-2004, 05:25 PM

plus a rent to own arrngement you can write it off as you make payments like you would a rent or car payment.

FreeHugeMovies · 02-20-2004, 05:27 PM

I see NO advantages WHAT so ever in leasing a domain. Just buy a new one.

$5 submissions · 02-20-2004, 05:28 PM

Maybe ONE POSSIBLE advantage to leasing would be to rent a temporarily HOT domain like Paris Hilton type domains ... ride the phenomenon and hand it back to the owner once its over.

Bingo!

uh, normally domain 'leases' are for type-in domains, that redirect to your site.

just like buying traffic. no big deal.
