The maintenance cost of a domain name is as low as 6 dollars a year, "If the traffic brought by a domain name can earn back 1 dollar a year, they are willing to do it." An industry insider said, because these people usually have thousands of domain names. "I'm aware of nearly 10,000 domain names related to our brand that have been exploited by domain name holders, including registries," Verizon's Deutsche said.
"It is very important to distinguish between domain name abuse and 'domain name parking'."

2. Intentional typo squatting: Register domain names as mistakes that often occur when people type domain names of well-known trademarks in their browsers.
3. Domain parking: Pre-register a batch of domain names for later use. Typical usage provides pay-per-click advertising.
4. Domaining: The act of buying, selling, and making profits through domain names.
5. Domain name businessman (Do-mainer): A person who buys and sells domain names, etc., and relies on domain names for profit.
6. Domain name tentative squatting (Do-main tasting): Register a domain name first, and then monitor the traffic of this domain name during the 5-day free period stipulated by ICANN to decide whether to pay for the domain name registration.
7. Repeated domain name registration (Domain kiting): There are 5 days of free time for domain name registration with ICANN, and re-registration after 5 days of domain name registration, so that the domain name registrant can get the benefit of the domain name without paying.
