Thanks to Ric in Adsense Help Group. He shared one articles named "Most Expensive Domain Name". It reveals that domain name can also be a big business. If you have a website that have a good domain or easy-to-memorize domain name, your site can be sold for a higher price. Anyway, let's check it out:

While the current market for internet domains is nowhere as solid as it was during the dot-com peak, the market remains strong and is experiencing solid growth. Each year tens of millions of dollars are exchanged during the resale of domains. In September of 2005, the gambling company Leisure & Gaming has paid $1.4 million for the vip.com domain. This is the most expensive domain name sale publicly reported during 2005.
The most expensive domain sale in 2004 was for creditcards.com.
A small Austin marketing firm has paid $2.75 million for CreditCards.com. Despite the rocky history of high-priced domain sales, participants say it was a fair price, and the sale may signal a new gold rush for Internet address speculators.
“It's like prime real estate, there’s only so much of this real estate to go around. I feel like we bought a slice of Park Avenue,” said ClickSuccess CEO Dan Smith. The sale was actually completed in March [2004].
