OUR METHOD & PROPOSED FEES

A portfolio needs
more than good names.

It needs a buying discipline, a reason to hold and a route to sell. DOMAINOSS helps Middle East investors connect those decisions in one domain advisory mandate.

01 · Our process

A METHOD FROM ENTRY TO EXIT

Every stage has
a clear next decision.

This is the proposed service framework. We agree which activities, reporting periods and responsibilities apply to your portfolio before beginning.

Design the mandate

We map your budget, renewal reserve, target markets, time horizon and selling priorities. Scope, decision rights and the fee model are agreed in writing.

Your brief + written scope

Research the opportunity

Each shortlist explains buyer fit, naming strengths, ownership evidence, costs, transfer restrictions and issues that need further checks. An asking price is not a valuation.

A reasoned acquisition memo

Acquire with your approval

You approve the name, ceiling price and transaction terms. Registrar and escrow arrangements are chosen for the deal; ownership stays in your account unless a separate arrangement is signed.

Approval + transfer record

Manage with a purpose

We propose a keep, sell, develop or let-expire decision for each asset. Renewal budgets, sales landing pages, pricing reviews and buyer positioning follow the mandate.

Asset ledger + review priorities

Bring the exit to market

With your permission, we introduce relevant names to investors, prepare buyer-facing material and help negotiate offers. You approve an offer or an agreed minimum-price policy.

Offer log + sale approval

Settle, account, then review

After transfer and cleared proceeds, the statement separates sale price, documented costs, recovered capital and DOMAINOSS’s commission. Keep the proceeds or discuss another allocation.

Settlement statement + next decision

COMMERCIAL TERMS, MADE READABLE

Our work. Your outcome.
A proposed fee model.

These rates are a starting proposal, not a binding price list. Your signed mandate confirms the final rate, included activities, cost allocation, loss treatment and any separate fees.

Discuss selling my domains

Just need advice, an audit or a development plan?

We quote a fixed scope and fee before work starts. Any retainer or development charge is separately disclosed and approved. Success fees are not charged merely for submitting a request.

MAKE THE NUMBERS VISIBLE

What does the client
actually receive?

Change the assumptions. Compare a profit-sharing mandate with sale brokerage, including a lower-price outcome. These are hypothetical calculations using proposed fees.

ILLUSTRATION · NOT A RETURN FORECAST

A clear settlement.

Completed sales: $20,000.00
All costs before DOMAINOSS commission: − $10,900.00
Realized result before DOMAINOSS fee: $9,100.00
Prior loss offset: $0.00
Positive profit eligible for fee: $9,100.00
DOMAINOSS’s proposed commission (20%): − $1,820.00

Client net result this period$7,280.00After acquisition, holding, development, sale costs and DOMAINOSS commission.

Cash from this settlement$17,580.00Sale proceeds less sale costs and DOMAINOSS fee. Acquisition and holding costs were already paid; this amount is not all profit.

The chosen model is confirmed in writing. Brokerage and managed success fees are not added together on the same sale.

Test the exit, before the entry.

Completed-sale examples. All other costs stay fixed. A lower sale can create a loss; an unsold domain continues to incur renewal costs.

Hypothetical sale	DOMAINOSS fee	Client net result

$20,000.00 (your input)	$1,820.00	$7,280.00
$25,000.00 (+25%)	$2,820.00	$11,280.00

TRUST YOU CAN EXAMINE

Built on records.
Backed by your control.

Trust begins with what you can verify. Our proposed client charter puts ownership, permission and transparent economics at the centre of the mandate.

Ownership & privacy

Domains remain in your registrar account by default. Private briefs and messages are access-controlled. Seller contact details are not published.

A written mandate

Confirm the services, fees, spending limits, approval rules, reporting rhythm and exit arrangements before the work begins.

An agreed settlement route

Select a suitable registrar and escrow process with the counterparty. Fees, eligibility and transfer conditions are checked for that transaction.

Costs & conflicts disclosed

Ask who owns the recommended domain and who pays DOMAINOSS. Own inventory, referral payments or representing both sides must be disclosed before you approve.

A MORE USEFUL PORTFOLIO REVIEW

A decision for
every domain.

Our proposed review uses four practical paths, with a renewal reserve and a buyer hypothesis for each name. A good asset should earn its place in the portfolio.

Keep

Retain a name with a clear buyer thesis and a funded renewal budget.

Sell

Set a reasoned asking price, a minimum you approve and suitable channels.

Develop

Test a landing page or business concept with an agreed spending cap.

Let expire

Consider releasing low-priority names rather than renewing without a reason. You decide.

ASK FOR THE REASONING

What a useful
decision memo contains.

A proposed deliverable for the mandate: an explanation you can challenge, with unknowns made visible. Review cadence and report format are agreed with you.
