I know this is not strictly webhosting related, but i have a website that i now longer need. It is a .co.uk and is for PC repairs which i do very little of now, i was thinking of leasing or selling it but i am not sure how to value it, any ideas.

Throw it up on ebay, they have a domain/online co for sale section... Set a nice reserve for yourself... And if it doesnt sell, hey at least you know how much its worth

Just checked it out on ebay. You can go there directly with this link if you want to look at prices:

Greatdomains.com is a great marketplace for selling domains. They take a small commission (doesn't everybody?), but the service is superb. It's also widely and well known so you'll get the exposure you need, as well as a higher return on your domain. That is, if you can find a buyer.

Another great site. You'll get exposure on the Wall Street Journal site through BizBuySell. However, they have higher fees than most comparable sites. If you're selling a high-value domain, BizBuySell is great, but for smaller ones, you may try somebody else (your fees might be more than the value of the domain :D)

Hope this helps.

I'd be careful about eBay. I listed one of my domains there last year and it went for $500 - the only problem was that the person did not pay and completely ignored my attempts to contact them. Not good.... happening way too much now. :angry:

Also, eBay takes a percentage of the final price. I think it's 3% or something, they probably raised it.
