  • Fusu - The Domain Stock Exchange - Is Now Public

    FUSU LogoWell this is something new for those interested in owning a part of the Internet.

    The worlds first Domain Stock Exchange is now in public beta. Fusu allows participants to liquidate a fraction of their domain to the market and immediately receive money without having to give up control of the website. You can list upto 45% of your domain on the public market.

    On Fusu, holders of a premium domain (i.e Vodka.com) can devote a fraction of their domain to the market and immediately get money out of it without having to give up its control at any time. In return, stockholders in the domain name will get their share in future sales or advertising revenues generated by the domain name.

    I’m not exactly sure how this all works yet, after you’ve purchased a share of a domain what exactly do you get, except for the ability to resell the shares to other people? Their website claims, “By being a shareholders in today’s best domains, you participate directly”:

    • in the increase of domain valuations,
    • in parking revenue, and
    • in the sale of premium domains.

    Does that mean if I list my domain with the Exchange that I have to have it parked with them?

    Then off course you have the fees, don’t all exchanges have fees, yes you pay the Exchange for the privilige of buy and selling the domain shares.

    It certainly sounds like an interesting idea, but I’d want to see it running before committing to listing my domains.
