Nokta’s typical lease is about $100 a month.
When you think of domain leasing, you probably think of big ticket domains that companies couldn’t buy outright so they opted for a lease instead.
But it’s not just expensive domains that people are leasing.
Case in point: Nokta Domains has published a list of the 18 domain names it leased last month. The most expensive monthly lease fee? Just $250. The company leased one domain (Seyahat.net) for just $30 per month. The average lease fee is $106.
Also interesting is that the most of the leased domains are non-English language.
Leasing a domain or offering a monthly payment plan is a creative way to close the gap when a potential buyer can’t afford an upfront payment for your domain.

Congrats Nokta!
I remember it’s now possible to lease names at CAX.com, in fact we allow to setup any kind of payment plan.
Sam says
Congrats does anyone know the 18 domains leased ?

@ Sam – there’s a link in the post.
David Gruttadaurio says
Thanks for the post Andrew. Good to know. Anyone know how to set up these leasing or payment plan arrangements?
Andrew Allemann says
@ David – some escrow providers allow for lease payments, although you might want to get a legal document as well.
Andrew Allemann says
As a point of comparison, Nokta also just published a list of their domain sales for last month.

Sam, click on “list” above that Andrew kindly provided.
Politics.net for $100.00 caught my eye.
Sam says
