Domain Names – The Most Highly Addictive

Some people say that there is no more future in the domain name business. This is simply not true. One thing to consider is the fact that there are punters with a bit of cash in their pockets. These folks purchase names as soon as they are available from the expired domain names list.

This has happened quite suddenly because of the recession. This situation creates a lot of opportunity in the .com arena. The big names are not really all taken up by big domainers. There are a lot of small investors who have bought some great names. A number of people think they can buy one great name and strike it rich fast. A few people have been able to do that; however, some have become tired of waiting for the turnaround. When this happens, they let the name go, then a more experienced domainer picks it right up.

Remember that a lot of people had to let their domain names go because they became unemployed at the hands of the recession. That makes a land grab opportunity for domainers who want to fill out their portfolios. When the day is done, some people are winners and some people are losers because this is the nature of the business.

Currently the domain name industry is doing extremely well, with places like New Zealand and some areas of Asia expecting their boom time. New Zealand has proven to be a great place for domainers worldwide to collect lots of domain names in preparation for the coming boom.

If you buy a domain name for a low price then turn right around and sell it for a high price, it is called domain flipping. Regardless of the recession, this business continues to generate good earnings. A middle ground domain name has changed somewhat in price; however, you can still make good money with it.

I am warning everybody who is new to this game that it can be very addictive and a lot of fun. My experience has been that it is always an adventure to hunt for the best names. Finding truly great ones is tremendously satisfying. There’s lots of opportunity and lots of life in the domain name business.
