Instant branding, increased search engine traffic, increased traffic--these three compelling reasons to own a domain name were recently cited by thewhir.com in Seomal Evan's article entitled "3 Reasons to Invest in a Premium Domain Name".
Clarence Briggs, owner and CEO of AIT Domains or www.AITdomains.com, a subsidiary of AIT Inc. (ait.com): "When industry experts are suggesting a simple and easy way for business owners to increase their bottom line, we listen. It isn't difficult to grasp the concept that Domain Name Resellers can profit from this phenomenon by transferring their inventories to AIT Domains. I challenge bulk registrars with large portfolios to "show us your deal" with our competitors. We will not be undersold by other domain registrars."

In 2008, CNN reported the sale of the domain name Fund.com for a world record price of $9,999,950. Other notable sales within the domain space are Business.com which snagged a 7.5 million dollar prices tag while others like Wine.com closed at 2.9 million.
