Hello shindevijaykr and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

First, the bad news: To combat forum spamming we have a policy (see "Charter" link below) against threads that either suggest or ask for suggestions about service providers. That said, I'll offer my experience that most of the longstanding auction services handle the process well. That doesn't mean they "sell your domain". That just means they handle escrow well. As I've said a hundred times before: good domains sell themselves. All the sales talk, talking up and hype about "great domain name for . . " tends to turn people off.

We've hosted a few threads that went into the details about how to best market domains. [webmasterworld.com] Take a look into the library. (Library link at the top left of the forum's home page.)

There are many places where you can list, sell or auction your domain names but the best indicator of success is the history of people contacting you to inquire about buying your domain(s).

Most parking companies will allow a link to appear on your domain's landing page indicating that it is for sale.

If you sell into the domainer's aftermarket expect to be paid based upon acceptable proof of past earnings. The amount paid will be some multiple of those earnings. Alternatively, you may receive a few very modest offers is the domain has some special appeal. If you registered the domains in the past year or two don't expect most folks to be overly impressed with their appeal.

As to what consitutes a "premium domain" chances are that absent extraordinary good fortune you haven't registered any "premium domains" in the past 2, 3 or more years. Premium suggests a domain that benefits from a bit of traffic arising from the fact that it is a strong .Com keyword domain, one with a solid commercial - generic and popular industry word or phrase - foundation.
