Can’t believe, I thought only me….

I have almost 40 domains, not all presently active, but all worth the $10 I dropped on them. Not tiresome at all. I bought a domain three years ago and didn’t pursue the idea that prompted me to buy it, then I received an offer of $100 for the domain – out of the blue, I don’t squat – what a surprise.

Every single one I own has a great idea inside it. If I can’t make it flourish, I let it expire. No regrets on a single one :)

I thought for sure that the over 20 would be the most popular.

I have over the 20 domains. But not all active. Only 13 domains are working and i need very much time and help for them.

you get hit with “great” ideas every 10 minutes. With the ecstatic feeling this new idea brings, you navigate to your domain registrar of choice to snatch up the clever domain that will surely make your “great” idea even more “great.” Exciting!
Fast forward to a week later and the so-called “great” idea was quite possibly the worst idea of your life.

Do you have hidden cameras in my office?? :P

Okay, now this is embarrassing! I checked the “7 – 10″ button, but thought to myself, “When was the last time you checked your DNS account?” Well, it turns out I actually have 14! Yikes, when did that happen!

To be fair, however, just this morning I got the “final, final, final” notice from GoDaddy for a domain that has just failed the 1 year test! I usually only register them for a single year initially. If I do nothing with them they don’t get renewed.

Plus, a buddy of mine and I have a running joke that all our domain ideas now have to go into a holding period before they actually get purchased. Ironically, that has cut down on the number and frequency of URL purchases!

I own 9 domains. But just on 2 of them projects are running. The other 7 will come anywhen in the future.

Originally I owned 10, but I lost one of them, because I forgot to notify my provider that I moved house…
