Interview with Sam Dennis of DomainEasy (1.Viewing)

DomainEasy launched their domain sales platform in 2024. Sam Dennis the founder of DomainEasy took some time to answer a few questions in the interview below. Feel free to ask any questions and Sam will be sure to answer them here in the comment section. I hope you enjoy the interview.

Q1) Tell our readers a little about your background, what drew you to domain names?

I’ve been in the domain industry for over 20 years, but domains were initially a secondary focus for me. My career primarily revolved around online advertising, working with brand advertisers and affiliate marketers. Domains became a natural extension of that work—an opportunity to invest in and trade digital real estate.

Over time, I developed a passion for the domain space. Domains are unique because they’re both a commodity and a highly personal asset for businesses and individuals. They’re critical to brand identity and often the first interaction someone has with a business online. That intersection of creativity, business strategy, and technology is what drew me in and has kept me engaged for two decades.

Q5) You are starting out charging 0% except for 3.5% for credit card costs and $50 for wire transfers. When will you start charging a commission?

We’re committed to keeping DomainEasy free for the first year as we continue building trust and refining our features. After that, we’ll introduce a low commission rate—likely around 9%—to maintain affordability while supporting the platform’s growth and operations. Our goal is to deliver exceptional value, so whatever rate we introduce will be competitive and provide a clear ROI for our users.

Won't last long at 0% until 9% clicks in

My prediction....

9% is a base, most sales will be at 15%+
