forsale-domain

The domain extension .forsale is a generic top-level domain for sales and disposals of any kind. At first glance, this domain extension says nothing about what kind of sale it is. It could be a car, but it could also be a house or a piece of land, or a coin collection, or anything else that a private person can or wants to sell. But also car sellers and real estate agents can use the domain extension .forsale. Such a website will cause a stir just because of the domain extension.

Allocation and use

The top-level domain is administered by Rightside Registry, which is based in Kirkland, Washington State, USA. A domain is awarded to companies and also private individuals all over the world. This means that a domicile or company headquarters in the USA, where the registration authority is located, is not necessary. Forsale is a term that has meanwhile become part of the international linguistic usage. However, this domain extension is only suitable for those who want to sell something via the WWW. After all, translated, the domain extension means "for sale", not "for rent" and also not "to give away". This means that every consumer who looks at such a website knows exactly that there is nothing for free on this website, but only a product or service against a certain payment.

Meaning

The importance of the domain extension .forsale is very high, especially in the USA. There, real estate agents in particular use this domain extension for their WWW presence, since this term is the slogan that can also be found on the houses that are for sale. In Germany, however, it is not customary in the real estate business to provide the buildings that are for sale with a corresponding sign. In the end, however, the importance of the domain extension is very small. After all, most real estate agents use a different top-level domain. However, it makes sense to choose such a domain extension, especially for websites that already exist on the WWW under a different domain extension, if it is precisely something that is for sale.
