    OK I am sure this question has been asked loads of times before here but I really want to know. I have a site http://www.centralreservations.ie
    that I started as a side-project to learn a bit of web development.
    Obviously to get the .ie domain I had to register centralreservations as a business name which I did (there are a few others.
    I am now thinking of selling the site/business name (maybe after making a few improvements to the site). I haven't submitted it to search engines or done any of that web marketing stuff with it so I don't know if it's worth much.
    I know I can't sell a .ie but I can sell the business name, is that correct?

    TBH its worth nothing. Nobody is going to spend over the odds on that domain name, there are others like it readily available.

    If it was dublinreservations or similar then maybe...

    Too bad. The site was more something to put on my CV for job-hunting anyway.
    I also have http://www.centralreservations.org, I might try to sell that.

    .org would be worth nothing too unfortunately. .org's are associated usually with non-commercial or non profit organisations.

    Also anyone can register the same business name as you there's no restrictions on that, obviously they cant register and try to pass themselves off as you (starts to go off topic...)

    There's not much value in the design either so i guess chalk that one up to experience that will look good on your cv.

    I didn't think you could sell the .ie, I thought you had to sell the business that owned the .ie if you wanted to move it on?
