What is Domain Leasing?
Similar to a car lease, domain leasing gives a lessee the right to use, we grant you an exclusive license to use a domain name for a specified time period while making periodic lease payments to the lessor. You can lease domain names to get access to premium (high value) names without the high upfront costs of purchasing the name.
Typical Terms of a Domain Lease
The following are common terms of domain leasing:
Lease term:
Domain leases are usually between 3 years & 5 years in length. Monthly or quarterly payments are typical.
