In domain investing, the economics of cash flow do not depend solely on how many tenants or buyers you can acquire but also on how much value each of them contributes over the life of the relationship. This is where the concept of ARPU—average revenue per user—becomes critical. While many investors focus on volume, chasing…

As domain investing has matured into a global business, with buyers and lessees spread across every continent, the issue of taxation has become increasingly complex. Unlike traditional real estate, where jurisdictional boundaries are clear and physical assets are tied to specific countries, domains are intangible assets whose ownership and monetization can cross borders in an…

For most investors, the conversation about insurance begins and ends with tangible assets—buildings, vehicles, equipment, or inventory. But in the digital economy, intangible assets often hold far greater value, and among them, domain names occupy a unique position.
