I need a self hosted domain or blog which has at least a page Rank of 1.. The age of the site is irrelevant. What should I consider before buying this? What should be a reasonable price for this? Please somebody help. Thanks in advance.
You can try godaddy auctions. The domain should be relevant to your niche/industry. If you can find one with your targeted "main" keywords, that's even better. https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpHome.aspx?ci=13335
Direct traffic of search terms matching the domain e.g. page rank tool has 18K global monthly searches.
NJK, it's important to find out the history of whatever domain you're looking to buy. Find out if the domain was blacklisted or involved in any blackhat SEO. You wdon't want to inherit a domain with a negative history. Also know that PR's are fluidic and the current PR you see in that green bar on your browser isn't the actual realtime rank Google has assigned to it. A domain with PR5 could currently be PR2 or a PR1 could actually be PR0. I think it's more inportant to find one with a clean history not a certain PR.
wow..thanks...that's something I hadn't thought before. thanks for bringing that up.. also could you tell me how much would be a fair price for a PR1 site without any age at all.. Also what is a Self Hosted site?
In general there will be some age even if it's a few weeks to few months old unless you register a totally new domain yourself. But the price for a very young domain name is dependent on the seller. In general you could be looking at a price ranging between $20 to $500 depending on the popularity and demand for that domain name. But most new domains will run you on the cheaper end of that range. To your second question, a Self Hosted Site is basically a site that is setup with a paid hosting plan versus free websites such as those provided by wordpress.com, Blogger, and other free third party site providers. If you want full customization, more control, and less limitations, a self hosted website or blog is the best way to go for a small price. A 1 year Hosting plan including domain registration generally ranges between $50 to $100 depending on the hosting provider. Personally I use Godaddy's service but you can choose from many others such as register.com, network solutions, hostgator, and so on. Hope this helped to answer your question.

"Your website/blog must be at least PR1 in order to complete this task. It must be a valid TLD (com, net, org, etc). No gambling, warez, porn, illegal, or questionable type of blogs. No free hosted blogs on wordpress.com, blogspot.com, etc. Forum posts are not accepted. Free TLDs such as .co.cc will not be acceptable. The site must be in English only and you must have reasonable written English to undertake this task. Any sites that open advertising or other popups on either the home page or the page of your post will not be accepted." any comments on this> any domain to suite these conditions???
