The price of .com domains has skyrocketed, as have the number of domain leasing opportunities.

Much like physical real estate, domain names, especially .com domains, have become quite expensive and will likely increase exponentially in years to come.

From small start-ups to mom-and-pop shops to national chains to global conglomerates, the one commonality all can agree on is the need for a premium domain name to generate greater customer growth and revenue for their business.

With more and more businesses being started by entrepreneurs or those involuntarily forced to, the need for a short, memorable, and search-friendly .com domain name is in great demand. At the same time, those mentioned attributes of a .com domain name are in short supply.

Many short, memorable, and search-friendly .com domain names are accounted for and have been for quite some time.

Business owners starting in business or looking to take their start-up to the next level will pay more than a pretty penny to secure ownership in such domain names.

Knowing that a premium .com domain name may be out of your grasp or price range, leasing a domain name instead of buying it is becoming a less expensive, popular, and simple way of starting or taking an online business to the next level.
