ABOUT NAME LIQUIDATION

We're changing the way the domain game is played

Until now registrants who failed to renew their domain names have recieved nothing! Name Liquidation changes this! 

Every day thousands of Canadians allow their .CA doman names to expire and every Wednesday the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) deletes the thousands of domain names registrants allow to expire. The one thing that everyone of these domain names has in common, apart from expiring and being deleted is that their owners got absolutely nothing for them. Meanwhile, Canadian domain name registrars have put themselves in a position to profit handsomely off of the very same domain names that registrants let expire. 

There is a healthy market for expiring aged domain names and Canadian domain name registrars dominate that market. While domain names deleted by CIRA are theoretically available to anyone to registerer upon their release, domain name registrars employ brute technological that few can compete with to grab domain names as they are released. First come first served is really fasted come fastest served. Registrars literally bombard CIRA with thousands of order requests for every one an indiuvidual places. It is akin to sharing a pizza with an octopus. 

There's a huge businsess behind this. Registrars are making big money selling customers back orders for expiring domain names and conducting auctions for domain names with multiple interested parties. There is a LOT of money being made off of expired .CA domain names. Almost all of it by domain name registrars!!!! Registrants get nothing!  

NameLiquidation changes this by providing domain registrants with a free opportunity to liquidate domain names they no longer want in our fixed price $99 marketplace. Rather than letting their domain names expire and getting nothing for them registrants can try liquidating their .CA domain names on NameLiquidation and keep any money they make themselves instead of leaving it on the table for their registar. 

WHY NAME LIQUIDATION

I've been investing in .CA domain names for more than 25 years. If there is one thing that has always bothered me about the domain business apart from it's lack of liquidity it would be the manner in which domain name registrars deal with expiring domain names. As I have  explained above I believe the architects of the domain name system intended expired domain names to be placed back into the pool of domains names available for anyone to register, not to be an ancillary revenue stream for the registrar of record.  

The fact that registrars are indeed taking control of their clients expired domain names, auctioning them off, and keeping the money has always irked me, and has always felt unfair. I pay all the registration fees but my registrar, by purevirtue of the fact that chose to do business with them gets 100% of the proceeds generated from the sale of the domain names I drop?  This never sat well with me. I was stewing over this one day and thought to myself that "even a small revenue sharing arrangement would be better than getting nothing" and so I started thinking about ways in which I could provide registrants with a little liquidity and maybe create a fun new way for folks to buy and sell domain names. NameLiquidation is the result.

NameLiquidation a passion play. It's not fancy. It's not about making money. It's not the best technology. It's a simple safe solution designed to provide .ca domain name registrants with a little more more flexibility, control and liquidity from their domain names but NameLiquidation isn't just good for sellers, it's good for buyers too. NameLiquidation provides consumers with a level of access to aged .CA domain names they have never enjoyed before . Before NameLiquidation consumers would have had to first find and sift through the Canadian Internet Registration Authority's (CIRA) weeky TBR list to isolate domain names they liked. They would have had to then locate registrars from whom they could purchase back orders for those domain names to try and capture the expiring domain names on their behalf, and because numerous registrars sell multiple backorders for the same domain names to numerous parties, consumers are also often forced to compete in auctions with other consumers who back ordered the same domain they did.

NameLiquidation provides consumers with access to aged domain names previously unavailable to them, at a fixed price! NameLiquidation eliminates the need to purchase back orders for domain names and the need to compete in unpredictable domain auctions. NameLiquidation guarantees that every domain name purchased on our platform transfers successfully or you won't pay.
