�A Good Businessman sees his business through a marketing eye, and the best way out is buy domains�
Domains and websites are often valuable commercial properties and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of them change hands every year.
Domains themselves are assigned for life. When you buy domains you don’t actually own the domain but you have the right to salt it away or make active use of it by putting a site on it (with a few exceptions, like the domain name being someone else’s trademark). This right lasts forever, provided you pay the annual registration fees of a few dollars a year.

Various online tools and “valuation experts” rank domain names based on the TLD (dot com is considered more valuable than a dot biz, for example), the number of characters, the vertical (market sector), and various other factors. The domain being someone’s trademark somewhere in the world may rank as a negative factor because of the potential of the trademark owner suing to “re-claim” the domain.
There’s a lot of talk of local search being the next big wave on the internet. If the hype is true there’s a lot of opportunity to buy domains that reflect both the industry you’re in and the name/s of the area/s local to you. Outside of local search there are still single words or word combination domains that others haven’t thought of registering yet. Besides Recognizing undervalued domains that you believe are undervalued can be bought and put back up for sale at a higher price. There is, of course, a level of experience/feel for the market required here in addition to the speculation.

Some domains get traffic either because they used to have some content and some inward links, or because people randomly type the domain name into their address bar e.g., dentist.com is a domain they may try typing directly if they’re looking for a dentist – it’s surprising how many people do that. If a domain gets enough of this residual or type-in traffic it derives value from the highly targeted eyeballs it attracts. Placing relevant ads via a domain parking program is a very profitable occupation for some businesses.
There are Miscellaneous other reasons to buy domains namely to frustrate a competitor and/or prevent him getting his hands on it, to capture the traffic from people who mis-type your domain name into their browser and redirect them to your true site, to add to your SEO efforts and other reasons.
