    Hey everyone!

    I own http://www.a2host.com

    I have found http://www.a2hosting.com to be quite the large hosting company. Keep in mind i have no content on my site currently.

    There is no special PR/seo for my domain, http://www.a2host.com - But it would be extremely useful for them, and im sure its gold for them.

    I have two questions:

    1) How should i approach them on selling my domain to them, without them getting angry and trying to get it for free from me legally?

    2) Approx. How much should i ask for, for the domain?

    Thanks guys :)

    Test the waters first.

    You need to approach them as a third party, say a domain broker and mention that you can secure a2host.com for them. Do not tell them you own the domain.

    If you can pitch it well enough, the hosting company may just go for it, but its risky.

    To the OP, do you want to sell your domain? Or what?
    A2hosting.com is really an old and repuitable company that guarantees top notch services. It's a well-know company in the web hosting field.

    apparently someone already contacted them last year about this domain

    If your going to contact them be honest about who you are and what you want for the domain, if its a realistic amount I'm sure you would get a sale.

    I don't think they can get it off you for free... either way I think they would have to pay for it.
