Houses can be used for living and investment, and so can domain names. Domain names are digital assets, and houses are physical assets. They have similarities in the field of investment. You may wonder whether you can buy a house for investment and wait for appreciation, or rent it out to make money. I know, but how can you make money without buying a domain name for investment? The annual renewal price is not low. When you think about it, someone has actually solved this problem. Let's compare investing in a house with investing in a domain name to see what the similarities are.

1. Both are assets

Domain names are known as "real estate on the Internet". They are equivalent to "house numbers" and are virtual digital assets. In recent years, Bitcoin investment has been popular all over the world, letting everyone know that virtual assets can also be a good investment channel and can make money. Houses appreciate as the location appreciates, and domain names appreciate as the Internet develops.

2. Both can be "moved in"

The "moving in" of a domain name refers to building a website. If you only have one domain name to build a website, when there are two or more, there is no need to build all the websites, which is also a cost. This is the same as "living in" and "renting out" of a house. When you use it to build a website and update the content every day, it is also an "investment" for value-added. The domain name bound to the website will be more valuable and easier to sell in the future.

3. Both have "rent"

You can buy a domain name to build your own website, or you can temporarily leave it empty for "rent". The rent for a house is to rent it out, while the "rent" for a domain name is to find a reliable platform to "park the domain name", which is equivalent to temporarily "renting" the domain name to the platform and charging traffic advertising fees. Of course, this advertising traffic must be natural traffic, not clicks by yourself. Generally, the platform for domain name parking will have anti-cheating measures.

4. Both can be sold

The ultimate destination of the domain name is to build a website, just like the ultimate destination of a house is to live in. When you sell it, the investment is successful. It may not be easy to sell in the past few years. In a few years, the economy will improve and more people will build websites. At that time, do the business again. If your domain name is high-quality, it will definitely be sold.

5. Both have service fees

The service fee for a domain name refers to the annual renewal, which ranges from tens to thousands. The annual property fee for a house is the property fee, which you have to pay whether you live in it or not. So, I didn't expect that domain names and houses actually have something in common. You may have never thought about it before. It can be seen that domain names can not only be used but also used to increase value.

Summary: Houses are now at the bottom, and they will slowly move up from the bottom of the "U" shape in a short time. The same is true for domain names. In recent years, due to the impact of the flu, domain names have not been used much, but in the future they will definitely rise slowly like houses. After all, domain names and houses are still very similar in some aspects.
