# ''The primary market'': where only new domain names are being registered and are being traded for the first time. These domain names have not been registered before and their registration is usually connected to new events. The launch of a [[TLD]] is a great opportunity for domain name speculators.

# ''The secondary market'': this market involves previously registered domain names that are being traded for at least the second time. This is where domainers earn extra income by selling new, creative, popular and innovative domain names. Depending on the circumstances, a previously generic domain name may become a hotly contested and sought-after asset.

===Rights===

In the eyes of ICANN, there is no difference in domainers and registrants in terms of rights and responsibilities, as all domain name registration and any privacy/proxy services used in conjunction with it are subject to a Registration Agreement with an ICANN Accredited Registrar. ICANN states that Domain Name Registrants have the following rights:<ref>[https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/benefits-2013-09-16-en Registrant Rights and Responsibilities, Resources, ICANN]</ref>

*registrants can review their Registration Agreement at any time and are entitled to accurate and accessible information about

** the identity of the ICANN Accredited Registrar;

** any proxy or privacy service provider affiliated with the Registrar;

** the Registrar's terms and conditions, including pricing information;

** customer support services;

** how to access them and how to raise concerns and resolve disputes with the Registrar or any privacy services offered by them; and

** Instructions and explanation of the Registrar's processes for registering, managing, transferring, renewing, and restoring the domain name registration(s) in question, including through any proxy or privacy services.

*registrants shall not be subject to false advertising or deceptive practices by the Registrar or any proxy or privacy services. This includes deceptive notices, hidden fees, or any practices that are illegal under the consumer protection law of the registrant’s residence.
