An Owner, Agents, Buyers, Sellers, Brokers, Auctions... sounds like real estate to

Domain Name Brokers are actually online land owners. Owning a domain name means that you
own a piece of property on the one and only World Wide Web. As time goes on and more
online property is purchased each piece of property becomes more valuable; this is why
domain name brokering has become an actual legitimate occupation.
Initially owners of domain names (people who legally purchased a domain name and owned
it outright but didn't have plans of using it for anything other than the investment)
...were considered "domain name squatters". To some people, for whatever the reason
...domain squatting was looked at in a bad light. Just the name... "Squatting" has a
negative sound and feel to it. Regardless, domain names were purchased and they were
not used for anything in particular but rather held onto in wait for the highest
bidder.
While waiting some domain name owners earn money from their parked domain names through
programs that provide revenue streams from traffic, links or referrals. While at the
same time they are parked and earning money, some companies offer: custom domain name
for sale pages; included in their free parking service. It's all easy, most often free

is there.
