I bought two domains recently and I got stuck with some silly things I should have checked before buying the domain name, this lead me to compiling this list so that if you are buying a domain name, you will not get stuck like me.

* The most obvious thing is ownership, check to ensure the vendor selling the domain name actually owns it
* Check to ensure the registrar the domain is registered with is one you can do business with. One of the domain names I'm stuck on is registered with a registrar that requires you to pay over $100 to opne and account with them.
* Is the domain name over 60 days old? If the domain name is less than 60 days old, you cannot move it to another registrar.
* If its a valuable domain name, consider using and escrow service to pay for it, instead of paying directly to the vendor (Unless you know the vendor well)


Hope other members add to this list
