Hi cgg

The domain you wanted is a short, memorable and brandable name that's suitable for many start up projects and ventures. Our premium domains have been purchased by startups to build into multi-billion dollar businesses.

We understand you're frustrated these premium domains are priced higher than your university project budget. One solution is to consider one of our monthly payment options, for example, you were offered a quote to start using the domain for less than $200 per month. We wish you success with your project whatever domain you choose.

We've had hundreds of people contact us about this domain over the past few years and we've declined several offers in the 5 figures. We understand everyone values domains differently and how you value this domain depends on your plans for the domain. For example, whether you're planning a personal project or working on a global venture.

Hi Brian,

After getting your contact information from Trustpilot, we looked at our records and you have never been one of our customers.

Even though your review on Jan 3, 2023 indicated your date of experience was Dec 31, 2022, we didn't find any records of any interactions with you at that time. On Feb 3, 2023, you contacted us to make an offer to buy one of our domains for $1 and you had a comment about domain squatting. We responeded to you the following day declining your offer and explained that the domain you're offering to buy was very common and useful to thousands of people and no one would be able to claim exclusive rights to such a name.

We also explained that this domain was registered for our web development and branding business in Canada and this domain wasn't registered to conflict with anyone's trademark rights. In response to your accusations of domain squatting, we also let you know that we had searched for trademarks in Canada and the US as well as other countries and did not find any trademarks for this name. We invited you to provide any information about your trademark rights, in case we missed something in our search, so we can have our lawyer review your info and respond to you further. We have not received any additional info from you nor have you provided any further response.

For your reference, we've quoted a number of people who contacted us about this domain and we offer several ownership options, including one that is $29 per month to start using the domain and having the option to buy the domain later. That also includes a free trial of our web services for several months, including a starter website, custom emails on the domain, cloud storage, web apps, hosting and technical support.

Our actual customers are happy with our services but unfortunately we get some misguided reviewers who are disappointed the domain they're interested in had been registered years earlier (this particular domain was registered in 2008) and instead of registering an alternative domain, feel the need to post reviews with false information about our business. From your email address, it appears you would be looking at this domain for your own small business. We hope your reviewers are more respectful to your business than you have been to ours.

If you are truly interested in our domain, we leave the door open for you to contact us to get an updated quote in the future if the domain is still available at that time.

Hi Peter,

You contacted us to buy an eight letter .com surname domain. We gave you a reasonable quote and did not try to trick you or scam you. In our email to you, we wrote, "Please be aware that on occasion we may be negotiating with multiple parties so your quote is non-exclusive. Also, in your online quote, please check out our bonus e-Inclusive web package offer."

You were not the first person to contact us about this domain and we were letting you know that if someone else also contacts us, we may quote them as well. Domain availability is subject to change without notice. We've had many occasions where multiple parties contact us about the same domain and we've also had situations where one party bought a domain and the other party decided after the domain was no longer available. Even uncommon surnames can have thousands of people around the world who may want to own the same domain and coincidentally contact us at around the same time.

We're a Canadian company offering web development and branding services. Short surname domains are valuable to our business in helping customers brand their new business, product, or service. These domains tend to be memorable and brandable and useful for both personal and commercial uses. If our quote was beyond your budget, we can also help you find an alternative domain - there are over 1000 domain extensions and many domains are currently available for the same name in a different extension.

Hi Greg,

We have never tried to extort you or anyone else and any suggestion of that would be defamatory and libelous.

We're a company based in Canada offering web development and branding services. We've registered domains for our own development as well as customer use. You initiated contact with us and asked for a quote but we weren't able to come to an agreement based on your budget. You may be surprised to know that other people have contacted us about the same domain and we've declined offers in the past higher than your budget.

We offer lease-to-own options on our premium domains so you can start using the domain for as little as $49 a month and after a number of months, you would fully own the domain. We also offer domain rental options as low as $29 a month so you can start using a premium domain and have the option to buy the domain for a predetermined price in the future for full ownership. In addition, we offer a free trial of our web packages with a premium domain transaction which includes a developed website, email, cloud apps, hosting and technical support. For as low as $49 a month, we can work out a deal that includes a premium domain rental with a web package.

We offer affordable options for customers to have a premium domain and build their web presence quickly. Feel free to contact us again in the future if we can assist further.

Hi Phineas Lotus,

We understand your interest in a domain that matches your surname. Even a rare surname can have thousands of people around the world who may want to own the same domain.

We're a Canadian company offering web development and branding services. Short surname domains are valuable to our business in helping customers brand their new business, product, or service. We have many customers who choose a domain because it's short, memorable, and brandable, and it turns out to also be surname.

We wanted to assist you further but don't know which domain you're interested in (we don't own lotus.com). We requested more information from you through trustpilot.com but you didn't respond.

If you're still interested, please contact us again to discuss options for domain ownership, or for you to start using the domain with low monthly payments and future ownership. We also have affordable web packages that include a domain, developed website, email, cloud apps, hosting and technical support, starting at $49 per month. We can also help you find an alternative domain - there are over 1000 domain extensions and many domains are currently available for the same name in a different extension.

Hi Kartie,

Unfortunately, many people don't realize even simple domains can have a very high value. If you're interested to learn more about domain values, a weekly domain sales report is published at
http://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

Each weekly report is saved in the archives section. For example, a recent report can be found at:
http://dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2020/20200909.htm

In this report, you'll see the buyer of BoatsForSale.com paid $396,769, Fibr.com purchased for $75,000, Telematika.com sold for $49,888 and SassyClassy.com changed hands at $30,000. Even simple domains like SPCM.com sold for $49,950 and 4industry.com sold for $6,000.

We understand everyone values domains differently and it depends on your plans for the domain and whether it's for personal or commercial use. For example, we would never consider paying $400k for BoatsForSale.com for our business. However, if our business sold hundreds of boats a year, we would find BoatsForSale.com to be a worthwhile investment.

If you're still interested, please feel free to contact us again. If our quote is higher than your budget, we also offer several options for you to own a domain name with small monthly payments. Or we can try to help you find an alternative.

Hi Matthijs,

There are many factors that affect a domain's value. Many of our domains are short and memorable which make them very valuable to our web development and branding business. We use these domains to help clients create new brands for their start ups, products and services.

Even simple domains without existing SEO value can have a very high value. If you're interested to learn more about domain values, a weekly domain sales report is published at:
http://dnjournal.com/domainsales.htm

Each weekly report is also saved in the archives section. For example, a recent report can be found at:
http://dnjournal.com/archive/domainsales/2020/20200701.htm

In this report, you'll see domains with little SEO value such as helpware.com sold for $35000, zirrus.com sold for $25000, myty.com sold for $24999 and connectz.com sold for $18000.

We understand everyone values domains differently and it depends on your plans for the domain. If you're still interested, please feel free to contact us again. If our quote is higher than your budget, we also offer several options for you to own a domain name with small monthly payments, or we can help you find an alternative.
