It is closer to an Internet “street address + storefront sign + tradable property”: DNS routes visitors to a destination, registration data and account permissions determine who can manage the address, and trademark and dispute rules determine who may legitimately keep using it.</p> <p>A good domain can be worth tens of millions of dollars because it combines scarcity, memorability, brand meaning and a trusted entry point. <strong>The buyer is not paying for a few characters. The buyer is paying to remove years of naming, advertising and trust friction.</strong></p> </blockquote>
