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)
250 .com 10 .net 5 .org and 1 .ph
1 .com and 1 .ph domain
I got 9 and i am selling two.
I have 4 – all dot coms. I’m planning to have more.
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 like 15 of them.
but only 2 are active. lol.
1 .com domain, planning to buy another for a new blog =D
i have more than 100+ domains. most of them is not used or just parking. still to be develop.
I have a few domains.
Using blogger in a domain could possibly be taken away from you by Google. Possibly lang ha.
i got 5 domains. 3 are fully operational with contents.
I got 1 .net and 1 .ph which was recently purchased. my .net was purchased last 5 mos ago.
I publish on Blogspot but I’ve got 5 domains too… so far :D

* www.sportsbookers.org
* www.olympicblogger.net
* www.sportsbloggers.org
* www.callcenterblogger.com
But it doesn’t reflect that I’m not serious about not serious about producing meaningful content. If Thord thinks that way, that’s his opinion. There are popular bloggers publishing on blogspot and it doesn’t seem to bother them or their readers one bit like http://www.fakesteve.blogspot.com and others. It doesn’t take a blogger to get his own domain name to write meaningful content.
hmmm i own about 900+ domains…
I currently have 8, but I’m planning to buy a couple more this year.
