Commercial resale of domain names
An economic effect of the widespread usage of domain names has been the resale market for generic domain names that has sprung up in the last decade.
Domains, especially those related to business, gambling, pornography, and other commercially lucrative fields of online trading have become very much in demand to corporations and entrepreneurs due to their intrinsic value in attracting clients. Some domain can earn millions of dollars per month in advertising revenue from the large influx of visitors that arrive daily.
Some high value domain name can even be stolen from their rightful owner by means of a forged transfer instruction via fax, email address hijacking, employee refusing to give back control upon their termination etc, using an ICAN acredited registrar is a good step into securing your domains. Annually tens of millions of dollars change hands due to the resale of domains.
