If you read my twitter at @domainshane you’ll see I mentioned I bought Cluck dot com with Travis this week. He liked the name more than I did so I passed , but the more I thought about it the more I liked it. I don’t do a lot of partnerships but there are certain names where it makes sense or the timing is right. Some times the partnership resulted in one of asking the other for an opinion on the name and the other asked if they could be in. Other times its a great name but the price is a little higher than my free cash (or will get it below a comfortable level) . Travis and I have purchased July org, NIQ com, NWR com, Vinery dot com and now Cluck. Braden Pollock and I bought Grassy dot com, and Adam Strong and I bought Runner in the dot com but I am not majority owner. It’s obvious why I would want to be a part of runner with all the running I do. He was nice enough to let me be a part.
Less than 1% of my names are partnerships. It can be a little bit of a tax hassle and you have to keep organized to remember what name you have with whom. The most obvious is you have to completely trust your partner. I think the trade off is great and it allows me to have some names I would have passed on that are now mine. Or part mine

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
Slight correction – vinery was Josh’s find, and we all three partnered on that one. Now, if only someone would buy it. It get’s lots of view love. Just needs a new owner.
LearningYoga .org – one bid. Who’s jumping on? 😀
How do you handle the legal and tax side of these domain purchase partnerships? Do you have a contract that spells it out?
Andrew,
It definitely can be complicated. One thing that has to happen is it can’t go into anyone’s corporation because it would be a legal and tax nightmare. As for contracts. Don’t have them. I would imagine at some point Travis and I will have to form something because the value is getting pretty big but we have enough correspondence if we had to get into legal proceedings it would be pretty easy to prove we own half. I also trust those 3 more than most of my family members. As for taxes, I let my tax person handle it. I tell her I put up the money for half the name
