Buying old domains: Things to remember

[Monster Masterpiece]

Looks like I should avoid buying old domains. Why should I pay extra for a domain? I do not see any reasons on this because I do not have any plans to run big websites.

It can be possible if you buy a ready website means website owner sell website to you like a blog or forum and this is common then you save time to popularize it you find everything ready.

Buying an old domain might have its own advantage and disadvantages. However, creating a new domain and working hard to make it popular can also bring you benefits. New domains are quite unique. No one knows all the history of old domains and what they were used for.

While it is possible that even new doamins can be similar to the old ones, but there is always a possibility to check the uniqueness of the domain before creating the domain and see how unique it is, actually.

Even though aged domains and expired domains can have better value in terms of SEO, but there is a risk as these domains might have been used for illegal purpose. A better option is to register your own domain and work on your SEO.
