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 think I got around 80 until last year. Only renewing 1/4 of it this year. (renewals are damn expensive)
