Michael Brown Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 One of our inspectors has left the biz and his domain names and website are for sale. The website was done a few years ago with no recent updates but still ranks okay. portlandoregoninspection.com portlandoregoninspector.com Make an offer on the names (website comes with).

Jim Katen Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Just curious, but if an inspector already had a domain name and website, in what ways would owning others be beneficial?
Bill Kibbel Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Just curious, but if an inspector already had a domain name and website, in what ways would owning others be beneficial? Traffic from an established site that shows up in search engine results. It's much more difficult now to get new domains to show up in search engines without paying for advertisements.
David Meiland Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 Jim, if you owned those names, you could simply point them at your existing website. If they are generating traffic, it could be a benefit, depending on what you pay for the names. Adding them as "parked domains" on your existing host should cost nothing.
John Dirks Jr Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Just curious, but if an inspector already had a domain name and website, in what ways would owning others be beneficial? Owning other domains prevents your competition from using them. This means greater potential for traffic at your active site.

Jerry Simon Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Jim, if you owned those names, you could simply point them at your existing website. Does that mean if one clicks on the purchased website, your own website could open up instead?
Ben H Posted September 15, 2014 Report Posted September 15, 2014 Jim, if you owned those names, you could simply point them at your existing website. Does that mean if one clicks on the purchased website, your own website could open up instead? Yes. The name or URL simply points in whatever direction you tell it to. It's called a DNS (domain name server) or name pointing. You can buy ANY domain name (also known as a URL) and point it to any website.
