So, you have a great idea for a website, and you’ve even got the perfect name for it. But, before you even think about writing one thing on your new website, you’ll first need to check to see that the domain name (the name of your website) is available. There are many websites you can do this on such as NameCheap.com or GoDaddy.com. If the name is already being used, but you still really want that name for your website, you’ll have to buy it from the current owner. So, how do you do that?

Network Solutions

Network Solutions is a website that you can find at NetworkSolutions.com. There you can type in the domain name that you want and the website will give you a list pertaining to that domain name. If you want to buy it, you can then click on the link within that page that says, “See options to get taken domain names.” This link will take you to a page where you can then make an offer on that site. Keep in mind though that you will usually need to make an offer that is $100 or greater.

Once you’ve done that, Network Solutions will send the offer to the current domain owner and the owner will then decide whether or not they want to sell the name of their website. Once they’ve decided, Network Solutions will let you know whether your offer has been accepted or declined.
