BarrelDomänen
BarrelDomänen is a term that emerged from discussions within German-speaking internet communities, particularly in relation to online content and domain name registration. It refers to a type of domain name that is registered and held with the primary intention of reselling it at a later, potentially higher, profit. This practice is often contrasted with domain parking, where a domain is registered but not actively used for a website, with the aim of profiting from advertising revenue displayed on a placeholder page.
The "barrel" in BarrelDomänen is thought to metaphorically refer to a reserve or a storehouse of domain
While the practice of registering and reselling domain names is legal, it can sometimes be viewed critically.
