Internet Domain Name Properties
Achieve Cash Income and Capital Gains on Internet Property!
Internet "web addresses" also known as "Domain Names" or "URLs") have in recent years become an increasingly popular investment.
Family Superannuation Funds investing in Internet Property see it as similar to real estate.
Experts speak of "Internet Property" and compare it to Real Estate "Brick & Mortar Property".
Similar to Real Estate Property, Internet Domain Name Properties provide capital growth and annual income:
Internet domain names are in limited supply = "Land, they are not making any more".
Value of the actual domain name itself = "land value" or property value
Popular web sites = land Improvements ...
Lease income from a business operating on a good domain name = property rent
Capital appreciation of a domain name = property value increase
Internet Domain Name Properties are an allowed investment for Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF) and can give provide both cash income and capital gains on Internet Property! Income and capital growth can come from:
Leasing the domain name for use by other businesses
Regular income from advertising on the domain names

Should you wish us to manage your Internet Domain Names, we will set up a mini-site with income-producing advertising on each of your domain names. The advertising income may cover the renewal costs and may also provide a positive cash flow and annual income. We will also ensure timely renewals on your behalf.
