Domain rentals board?

Hi,

Is there any possibility of having a board on this site for domain rentals? How to rent out, pitfalls, rentals available, rentals wanted etc. It's something I've seen discussed occasionally in the past and something that doesn't seem to be covered on any other site, so I think it'd be useful and bring traffic to the Acorn Domains.

Mike.

Does anyone have any experience to get the forum going if I create it?

I've never used it, but I have a domain lease agreement somewhere that people may find useful. If there's any interest I'll try and dig it up. I think the idea of having a forum for this is a good one.

I have leased a couple of domains, don't know if there would be demand in relation to trade but as an area for learning it could have merit and could well be a growth area.

^ Agreed, i don't think you will find many domainers leasing from domainers, but could be a good forum for info from domainers that have leased.

You need to have a lease agreement before leasing a domain from someone?

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?

Have you ever tried to rent a house or car or anythig else that comes to mind without an agreement?

The agreement can help protect the owner as much as the lessee.

Hi Ben,

Yeah, I can understand if it were property or a car, but it's only a domain name, what is there to protect , pay this month and you can use it, don't pay next month and you lose the right to use it, I can't see any need for an agreement, too much red tape and paperwork these days.

The debate above shows why we need this board! Good points on both sides, and illustrative of possible different approaches.

As for what would be on the board, I agree at first that 'how to' content would be better, but if some leases were agreed that'd be even better. Acorn Domains could become known as the place to go to rent a domain, and hopefully we'd start to pull in more end users as a result... exactly the type of people that would pay more for any domains we're selling. Then we'd really benefit.

Mike.
