Hi Laura,

You can see the details here

http://domainindex.com/domains/htmlhouse.com

I checked back with the owner to get the current price of htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>

The domain name is for sale at $499 which is a one-time fee for full
ownership.

He went ahead and set up the transaction at SEDO one of the world's largest
domain name escrow services:

http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>

Simply enter your email address to initiate the transaction.

You'll get it at the domain's current registrar,

or you can easily transfer it to any registrar of your choice.

It's up to you. Simply let me know if you need any advice about the
purchase and transfer process...

I'll be glad to help.

Hello,
That sounds great, could you give us a small example of what this would look like for us? It would be great if you could customize the example to our business a bit.

Hi Laura,

I talked to the seller about htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>

After very tough negotiations I got him down to USD 350 if you buy in the
next days

There are the transaction and escrow fees involved on the backend (which
are INCLUDED in the price - $350 is all you pay.)

Ready to move forward with the purchase?

Email me again so that we could set up the transaction.

Hi Laura,

Congratulation the owner went ahead and set up the transaction at SEDO one
of the world's largest domain name escrow services:

*http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>*

The domain transfer is handled by the Sedo escrow agent.

You have two options for receiving the domain:

OPTION A:

htmlhouse.com is currently registered at Dynadot.com. If you want to
receive and manage the domain at Dynadot (which is a pretty good idea as
they offer great pricing), you would open a free account at Dynadot.com:

http://www.dynadot.com/create_account.html

After opening the account, look up your Dynadot "Forum Name" and instruct
the Sedo escrow agent (from within your Sedo account) to push the domain to
that account:

"Please push the domain to my Dynadot account. My forum name is
_____________"

You can find your Dynadot "Forum Name" it at this link (after opening the
account):

https://www.dynadot.com/account/info/settings.html

Scroll down to "Account Options" -> "Forum Name"

OPTION B:

If you prefer to transfer htmlhouse.com to a registrar you are currently
using, Sedo will provide you with the domain's AUTH code.

You then need to initiate a domain transfer at your registrar's website
indicating the domain name and AUTH code.

(The function is usually called "transfer domain" or "domain transfer" at
your registrar's website.)

To get things started you need to indicate to the Sedo escrow agent the
name of the registrar where you want to receive the domain.

I wish you the best of success with your new domain name! If you have any
questions or need any assistance please contact me at any time.

Hi,
I shared this with the board, and they're all very interested. Could you give me some contact details for further discussion? Also, do you share some information about your company's finances? The board wants to ensure that any company we do business with is financially solvent.

Hi Laura,

You can easily do the following, and more...

* Redirect/integrate the domain name with your existing website.

* Greatly improve your search engine rankings and attract additional
visitors.

* Enhance your worldwide image and reputation as a htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>

* Capture misdirected emails from clients that might otherwise be lost.

* Boost the overall value of your brand and business.

There's only one htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com> in the world and
I think you should be the one to own it.

If you are interested in purchasing, email me again and I will send you the
link where you can buy the domain name htmlhouse.com
<http://sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=htmlhouse.com>.
