This week’s poll was inspired by Thord Hedengren over at BH — Are you a domain elitist? Mine is, how many domains do you own?
Thord puts it bluntly:
I’m basing this course of action on the fact that if you’re not committed enough to buy a $6 domain, then you probably haven’t got the right commitment in you content-wise either.
He makes a valid point. Are you a domain elitist too that with an idea of a new website or a blog, you immediately buy a domain for it? (Given of course that you can afford to buy one.)
So, let us know in the polls — how many domains do you own now? When was the very first time you bought one and what was it?
Mine was in 2001, I met several people online that became friends. We formed an informal group to do freelance web design/development work and bought the domain blueleafmedia.net. I got yugatech.com and pinoyblog.com a year later.
Now, I got about close to 50 domains owned. I’ve read about other Filipinos owning as many as 1,700 domains.
I have a few domains.
Using blogger in a domain could possibly be taken away from you by Google. Possibly lang ha.
i have more than 100+ domains. most of them is not used or just parking. still to be develop.
1 .com domain, planning to buy another for a new blog =D
i have like 15 of them.
but only 2 are active. lol.
10-20 domains for me
most redirected for brand protection.
others parked (either no plan to develop, pending development, or site went down indefinitely)
I have 4 – all dot coms. I’m planning to have more.
I got 9 and i am selling two.
1 .com and 1 .ph domain
250 .com 10 .net 5 .org and 1 .ph
I think I got around 80 until last year. Only renewing 1/4 of it this year. (renewals are damn expensive)
