Why sell a domain?

A name you don’t use still costs you every year.

Stop paying for it

Every year you renew a name you don’t use. Sell it, and the renewals stop with the sale.

An old project, money back

The shop you closed, the idea you parked. Its name can still be worth something to someone starting out.

You renamed

After a rebrand the old name just sits there. Another business may want exactly that name.

“Just in case” names

Names bought to keep options open. If you never used them, let them go to someone who will.

A name is worth more in use

To the right business, a good name is worth far more than its yearly renewal. You set the price.

That domain you renew and never use?

An old project, a name you bought “just in case”, a brand you renamed. Someone else may want it. Listing is free, there’s no monthly charge, and you can change the price or withdraw it whenever you like.

When it sells

How a name changes hands.

The domain moves through the registrar that already holds it, so nobody has to trust a stranger with a password. The seller is paid only once the buyer has the name.

Seller’s account

The name, listed at a fixed price.

Buyer’s account

Waiting for a buyer.

  1. 1 · The buyer paysThe price on the listing, + VAT. Nothing is added at checkout. (Buying opens soon.)
  2. 2 · The domain movesA name held at Grandhosting moves straight away. For a .gr name, buyer and seller first sign a declaration on gov.gr, then the registry checks the new owner, which takes several weeks.
  3. 3 · The seller is paidOnce the transfer is complete, never before.
Instant transfer

The domain already sits with Grandhosting, so ownership can move as soon as payment clears. A .gr name moves once buyer and seller have each signed a transfer declaration on gov.gr.

Held somewhere else?

You can still sell it. Prove you control it with a DNS record, and it takes offers; the transfer is arranged after a sale is agreed.

Good to know

Before you sell, or buy.

Pricing your name

There’s no meter for what a name is worth. Buyers usually pay more for a name that is:

  • Short, and easy to say out loud
  • Spelled the way it sounds, with no hyphens
  • A real word, or a clear business name
  • On the extension its customers expect, often .gr or .com
  • Free of trademarks that belong to someone else

Look at what similar names are listed for, pick a price you’d be happy with, and change it whenever you like.

Before you buy
  • Check trademarks for the name in the countries you sell in.
  • Look at its history. An old name may have been used before; search for it and check archived versions.
  • Think about renewal. After you buy, the name renews at the normal yearly price, like any domain you register.
  • Plan the switch. Point it to your site, or move your site to us; the move is free.
Good to know about .gr
  • A .gr change of owner is a registry trade, checked by the registry. It takes several weeks; control of the name moves to the buyer once both sides have signed the transfer declaration on gov.gr.
  • .gr names are registered for at least two years at a time.
  • The seller is paid only once the registry has approved the new owner.
Questions

Buying and selling, answered.

Can I buy a domain today?

Not yet. We’re finalising how purchases are invoiced before we take payments. Every listing already shows its full price, and you can enquire about any of them now. We’ll tell you the moment it can be bought; the purchase then completes in the Grandhosting dashboard.

How do I sell a domain?

Sign in to the Grandhosting dashboard, open Marketplace and choose List a domain, or open the domain and click Sell this domain. A name registered with Grandhosting goes on sale at the price you set. A name at another registrar is first proven with a DNS record and then takes offers. Auto-renewal has to be on.

Does it cost anything to list?

No. Listing is free, and you can withdraw a listing or change its price at any time. Your dashboard shows exactly what you would receive from a sale.

Is the price on a listing the price I pay?

Yes. The price on every listing is what you pay, plus VAT. Nothing is added later at checkout.

How long does a .gr ownership change take?

After payment, buyer and seller each sign a short declaration on gov.gr. Once both are approved, control of the domain moves to the buyer, and the registry then checks the change of owner, which takes several weeks. The seller is not paid until it completes.

How is this different from registering a domain?

Registering gets you a name nobody owns yet, at the registry’s price. Everything here is already owned by someone who has decided to sell it, so the price is what they’ve asked for. If the name you want is still free, registering it is far cheaper.

List it today. Stop paying for a name you don’t use.
