Domain Names Addiction
January 06, 2005
I've been sitting here doing some goal setting (well, okay, you might call it naval contemplation) and I realized that there's one thing I definitely don't have to worry about "never getting around to it".
I seem to have a habit of collecting domain names. I'm not even going to breathe the number of domain names I've bought in the last six months, all brand spankin' new, just waiting for me to finally put them to good use. It's way too embarassing.
There's something that's just so alluring about thinking up a really cool domain name, popping over to GoDaddy or whereever and buying something - anything - for 9 bucks or so (12 or 13 bucks Canadian but who's counting?).
It's my quick fix. Thinking up domain names is fun, and buying them is just too easy. And after I've put away that credit card, you know, I just feel so much like I've accomplished something.
So here's goal one - put that looooong list of domain names that I own to good use.
You'd think someone out there would have emailed me by now, with an offer to buy a domain name off of me for an "undisclosed sum of money".

Haha - you're too funny BJ :)
I'm bad about the domain name buying thing too...I get a domain, have an awesome idea for it, but sidetracked with client stuff :D.
I even having a running balance in my account on namecheap.com so I can just have them deduct the money from my account!

I haven't gone that far, Teli! Don't give me any ideas ...

Hey BJ,
I'll put my stack of domain names up against yours anytime! Trust me, my husband would flip out if he knew how many. ;)
I just LOVE to come up with an idea for a niche site and then, of course, I have to trot right over to Registerfly and search for a killer domain name. Teli might have me beat with the running account on namecheap.com, though. LOL!

A challenge! Whose domain name stack is bigger? ;)
Mine are all on automatic renewal, too - good thing I get my domain name brainstorms at different times so at least the renewals are staggered.

Well, I have to admit, I prolly don't have as many as you guys (I think I only have around 7-10), however, I do have a running account with namecheap - easier that way :).
However, I did start January off with a bang by registering 3 names back to back...hopefully, I'll get some time to do something with them (so far, only one is done)
