Verify Ownership When You List Your Website For Sale

31 Mar

Why Verify your website?

When the seller verifies their website, it means that they have access to the root directory of that site. This shows that they have control over the website.  It is just one way to protect against unscrupulous people trying to sell a website they don’t own. It does not however prove ownership. That can be a difficult thing to do.  Most of the time, the person with access to the server, is the owner.

There is another way that can be used to verify ownership of a website. The owner can change some contact information in the domain registry. Then you can check the registry info and see the changes were made. (It may take a day or so) This is similar to the first way, but sometimes with htaccess or redirects, it not easy to use the first method. Most of the time though the first method does work.

No matter what way you use or if you are the seller or the buyer, you can also protect yourself by using an Escrow service. Escrow services hold the funds until both parties say they are satisfied. For the seller, you know that the money is secure and you have some other ways of being protected. (see more about the benefits from an escrow service) If you are a buyer, you can make sure you are satisfied that all is as advertised, before releasing the money.

 
 

How To Sell A Website

27 Mar

Selling a website is actually not hard. There are just a few things to know before you start.

1. Find a Website (or two) to sell your site on. Here at SnicksList, We make it easy and affordable. In fact you don’t have to have all the details before you list. You can always add or edit information at any time.

2. Determine the sale price of your site. There are a few ways to do this. Generally websites that are making a regular profit are caculated at between 18-60 months of profit. Sometimes they can go for more. For example a website that sells drop shipped items and has an average profit of $1,000 a month could sell for up to $60,000. Sometimes though a site is new and not making income yet and the price is figured on income potential. You can edit your sales price at any time, so if you decide to increase or decrease the price you can.We show two independantprice evaluations of your site right on your listing. You can check you site value now with these two links:
