Buying and selling

# Domainer

A domainer is a person or company that registers or buys domain names to resell them at a profit. Domainers also hold names for traffic or advertising income. The term is interchangeable with domain investor.

## Why it matters

Domainers supply a large share of the aftermarket. They buy names they think will have demand and price them for resale. Buyers often meet domainers as sellers. Their prices are set by investment goals, not by the buyer's budget. Domainers differ from cybersquatters, who target trademarks. Know who you are dealing with. A domainer with a clean track record is usually easier to negotiate with than an anonymous seller. Ask for references or a sales history when the deal is large.
