What if someone leased a domain from you, used it irresponsibly and then someone filed a drs against you?

This is just one example of why you need a contract.

what if a biz similar to domain name ,rents it,then tries to claim domain?

Most of the obvious concerns are usually addressed in a lease agreement, for example at the end of the lease the lessee agrees to give up all rights to the domain, goodwill, search engines rankings etc, it also covers use of the domain and any option to renew or buy.

Hey aZooza,

I'm sure this would be very useful. Maybe anyone else that has sample agreements could post them too.

Mike.

Thanks for adding this section to the forum, some interesting points coming up.

Anyone have a draft agreement to share or a link of where to buy one?

If you google 'domain name rental agreement' you will come up with a few.

I am going with a solicitor on this one though.

I am renting out AutoMart.co.uk and wondered if anyone had any thoughts. I have not worked on this domain for a couple of years but it can quite easily turnover in excess of �50,000 a year, most of which (say 90%) is pure profit.

What figure should I be charging per month?

aZooZa · 30-12-2008, 12:38:23 PM

Sorry - searched high and low - couldn't find the one I had, although I remember getting it from a link on another forum. If I remember rightly, it was a Brit (Scot) who posted it and he's probably on here.

I thought it would be simple like this, I want to hire your domain, I pay you �x amount each month and you set the nameservers to my hosts, if I don't pay, you turn the nameservers off, no?

Scenario- I lease domain from you and say i want it for 3 years at �200pm. I then spend �5k getting a nice site done, spend �500 pm on seo and build lots of links. You then get offer of �50k for your domain from AN OTHER...........

Domain leasing is becoming more and more popular and I think it would be valuable to have a new forum area on this.

Just my two cents.

I dont think it warrants it's own section. It will just dilute the others which could already do with a bit more activity. There are lots of members who seem to only use the sales thread and don't contribute to others.
Leasing can be discussed under the business section.

just my opinion.
