Domain names must be registered through a domain registrar and are unique, meaning no two websites can have the same domain name. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates these human-readable names into IP addresses so that computers can locate each other on the network.
It's worth noting that many high-value domain sales are not publicly reported due to non-disclosure agreements. The domain market is dynamic, with values fluctuating based on factors like relevance, brevity, and commercial potential. Short, generic .com domains in popular industries like insurance, travel, and technology tend to command the highest prices.
