Investing In Digital Real Estate

Have you ever thought about buying and selling domain names? Maybe just collecting names for investments? If you have thought about this and want some simple information and facts, I urge you to read on.

As the internet continues to grow the amount of good quality domains will continue to shrink. Because every website will need a domain name it is best to buy a domain name as soon as possible if you are thinking about having a website or if you are going to resell a domain. Buying domains can cost a few dollars so that is why I was always on the look out for a place to register the cheapest domain names. Now that I have found a place for registering domain names, I am able to purchase a domain name for less cost. I can also tell you that for less than $100 and a creative mind, you can be on your way to making some good cash on the side and building up some quality names that could be worth a kings ransom in years to come. I know this for a fact. I see it everyday. I myself have sold domain names for hundreds and even into the thousands of dollars each.

I've been offered in the hundreds of dollars just for my name. Have you ever thought of claiming your own personal name as a domain name? Click here to see if your name is available!

The art of buying and selling domains can be a very profitable venture. The right name can sell for tens of thousands of dollars. Names like Harmony.com sold in 2004 for a handsome $100,000. Cinema.com sold for a cool $700,000. Act.com $500,000. And the list goes on and on. Just recently Diamond.com sold for $7,500,000. That's right, this is not a typo. 7.5 million dollars. True digital real estate at its finest.
During the dot com era of the late 90's there were names that fetched millions of dollars. Since then, many have fallen by the wayside and become forgotten. Now, people are picking these same names up and re-selling them to whoever wishes to buy. Although they don't really sell in the millions anymore there are a lot that do sell into the thousands. One only has to go over to Afternic.com to see which domains have sold in the past day or so and for how much. The prices of some names will actually shock you.

Throughout this article, I will be your guide in your search for domains. We will look at not only the choosing and purchasing of domains, but more importantly we are going show you where and how to sell domains.

WahNetBiz.com is a buyer and seller itself of top level domains (TLD). While most listing services will cater to all extentions of names, WahNEtBiz sticks with TLD names only. For those wondering, TLD names are .com .net. .org. As we like to say and think. "You can always add more bleachers in the stadium, but there are only a limited number of front row seats".

In todays world, domains are bought and sold on auction boards and web-brokers. There has been a whole new resurgence in the name game. It is one venture that anyone can participate in.
Many will say..."well I just don't know any good names". Or, "all the good names a taken." Well...how about your name?
