i bought 2 websites on ebay over a yr ago with 1yr hosting, and the domain names, do i own anything? sell?
Hi thanks soo much for helping me out, im soo confused… i bought two websites that were turnkey off ebay…long story short i never made a dime off any of them and i invested over 100 into promo and paid about 200 for the domain names and the disighned websites and a free year of hosting was included… so the hosting ran out so the sites are no longer running and i just got an email from dynodot where i guess my websites were stored or whatever saying the domain names will be deleted. after realizing the whole turnkey webiste deal was a scam and impossible to generate any income even with over 30,000 web hits.. i accepted a loss… then i looked up how much the website was worth on alexa and it was like 600 dollers…. so my question here is… after this failure do i own the domain names still? what about the websites themselves? the websites were on dynodot and i never got them on a disk… soo do i have the rights to anything i bought and how do i get them back? I thought id at least be able to sell something in the end again on ebay or something especially since alexa says one website is over 600? Thx for taking the time to help me out.
Ok so i guess you cant just buy a domain name outright without paying the yearly fees can you ? i knew the hosting ran out in a yr but i always thought iowned the names of the websites and that i could sell them. I checked and the sites are not registered to me but to dynodot .. i think i can renew the names if i pay and get hosting somehwere but what happened to the actual websites? and yea, the person i bought them from dissappeared and sold copy websites of mine after i bought them… im starting to think it was a large scam… its my fault but i learned a 500 doller lesson and wasted time, ohh yea there were 4 income streams built into the site… not one made me a dime, but it sounded clever…. dont do what i did.
Were these clone websites? Many copies of the same website sold? Check the sales documents to see what you actually paid for. Turnkey usually means a fully set up ready to go business. How do you know that there were no sales? Sales could have been directed to somewhere else. Could be the reason you didn’t get the code. If you buy the site always get the code.
If you have no evidence not much you can do.

In this video I announce the first guest on the Domainvestors Television show. This show is set to air (online) in November and will expose the whole world to the Domaining World. It is time to grow this industry. Rick Schwartz said in a post recently that there were under 500 people that are really making a living as Domainers. This is not an industry – it is a small niche group – almost like collectors of fine cars and wine. It is time to let the whole world know about Domaining and how they can get involved and turn this into a REAL industry.
