Has anyone gone through the process of selling a .es (Spanish) domain? What is involved and does anyone know of information (in English) on how this can be acheived. I have had an offer on one of my .es domains and I am mulling over whether it is worrth it for the sums involved, bearing in...

Gravitynet for .es, very reliable IMO.

The seller must have been to sell for that price ;-)

Does anyone have a contact for Andy Hill - Name Grab? Does he frequent the forum? PM's appreciated. Thanks, lesurf

I think we discussed this before: http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/domain-research/9230-uk-tax-laws-domain-names.html?highlight=deductible

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Who knows on the .pro extension or indeed any of these big sales that go on DNJournal... I've had offers over the amount you suggest taking already for the domain so don't think your opinion is borne out by my experience. Also not sure on streaming being a thing of the past, what other ways...

Streaming.pro sells for $18,000, so what does that make my domain - streaming.co.uk worth!! I've never even heard of a .pro extension.

What they are flogging as "i-stream" i.e. video synchronised with other content types is sold by many other people under many differences guises, it's just a name this particular company have adopted. I'm not saying the name is worth nothing at all. I think it's one of those you hold onto as...

I work in the streaming industry and have never heard anyone say "istreaming", I guess you're looking to play off the ipod connection? Maybe I'm missing something here but I would say limited in value unless someone comes up with a new technology that means content can be streamed to ipods...

I have one remaining domain with them. Same thing happened to with the expired card scenario. I just ignored their letters and it appears they gave up. They renew the domain for me every two years at no cost to me so can't complain ;-) It may be best in this scenario to go through Nominet and...

PM sent, interesting debate. I have several celebrity names that get good type in traffic but feel I lose out in terms of rev due to them being parked and thus not recognised by search engines. If anyone has any adsense tips or sample sites I would personally love to take a look.

Very tricky question to answer without knowing the name, which for obvious reasons I'm sure can't be disclosed. Depends on a number of factors. If you buy a really good generic name sometimes it's frustrating to actually bring yourself to do anything with it as you want to truly capitalise on...

Do you have any reference for this that I can quote this to my accountant?

Thanks guys, interesting debate. Do any accountants frequent these boards?

Thanks Pred, some useful ideas there to pitch at the accountant. In my case it's a domain that will be used and is likely to increase in value. I think you might right for to write it off this year as "marketing" and then if I ever sell it take the hit. I think it would be highly unlikely...

I don't actually think there is a definitive answer as to whether the purchase of a domain name is tax deductible or not. Moreover, I think if you rang the IR they probably wouldn't know either. This thread (below) sums up the confusion but at least does go through some relatively solid...

I have had the same question on this from my accountant, is there any argument that can be used so that a domain can be written off as tax deductible rather than treated as an (intangible) asset. For example: Say, my business area is IT Consultancy. I have been running my business happily for...

Akamai are a very big streaming hosting provider / content delivery network so hence they * may * be interested in streaming related domains. I have never heard anyone use the term "datastreaming" and I work in the industry so I don't think it would have that much value unfortunately...

Thanks for the input much appreciated. Streaming is an often misunderstood term anyway. There are plenty of technologies out there which aren't streaming at all that people describe as such. So even if streaming was to be superceded it's still in IT lexicon for years to come as a generalised...
