Internetna domena nam pomaga prepoznati posamezno spletno mesto in dostopati do njega.Zaradi svoje razlikovalne funkcije ima prepoznavna internetna domena precejšen gospodarski pomen, saj povečuje obiskanost spletnega mesta. Upniki nosilca domene zato želijo poseči na premoženjsko vrednost domene za poplačilo svojih terjatev. Vendar način izvršbe na internetno domeno v zakonodaji ni jasno urejen. Prispevek prikaže temeljne tehnične značilnosti internetne domene in njene registracije ter na tej podlagi preuči pravno naravo internetne domene oziroma pravic na njej. Avtor ugotavlja, da domena sama po sebi ni pravica, vendar jo je mogoče unovčiti s prodajo celote obligacijskih pravic nosilca domene v razmerju do registra domen.

"An internet domain name helps us identify any website and access it. Due to its distinguishing function, a recognisable internet domain has considerable economic significance as it increases website traffic. Therefore, domain name holder’s debtors may want to cash in the property value of the domain to ensure payment of their claims against the creditor. However, the method of execution upon domain names is not clearly regulated in legislation. The article presents the basic technical characteristics of internet domain names and their registration; on this basis, it further examines the legal nature and legal protection of domain names. The author concludes that a domain name in itself should not be treated as an exclusive right. Nevertheless, execution upon a domain name can still be carried out by appraisal and sale of the complete set of domain name holder’s contractual rights arising from its relationship with the domain name registry."
