Are you addicted to registering domains? - GoFuckYourself.com

Pornwolf · 03-06-2005, 04:52 PM

I go into Namecheap to register one domain and I finish with 10. Why is domain registering like a bad crack habit? You just never know when to say when!?!

Am I the only one like this?

polish_aristocrat · 03-06-2005, 04:54 PM

You are probably wasting your money.

I register and buy my domains wisely

pubenemy · 03-06-2005, 04:54 PM

I feel your pain, i get into kicks of browsing the expiring domains lists and seeing what I can pickup...

Mike Semen · 03-06-2005, 04:55 PM

I've moved on to being addicted to dropcatching and buying domains now...

Sly · 03-06-2005, 04:58 PM

I have the same problem. Have over 300 now, though about 80-85% are in use. So I don't mind too much.

Domain Names are very addictive - for both a profit and hobby.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 03-06-2005, 05:00 PM

It can become very addictive.
I can only wonder how many people sit at the desk everyday looking for new ones...

Its is probably an insanity of some sort.
It must be, maybe smthing like a compulsive disorder.

pubenemy · 03-06-2005, 05:01 PM

I only have about 150 now, try to keep them all at enom I get confused too easily if they are at many registrars...

tungsten · 03-06-2005, 05:02 PM

if i see a good domain available, you can bet that ill register it

swedguy · 03-06-2005, 05:05 PM

I was like that. But the last year I've slowed down..... thank god

KRL · 03-06-2005, 05:08 PM

Totally addicted. I had to stop myself for a while it was consuming so much of my time. LOL.

Just started going out for daily hunts again this month.

Picked up some really nice ones today.

DaddyHalbucks · 03-06-2005, 05:13 PM

Addictive? You bet!

I am up to 14,000+ domains.

03-06-2005, 05:15 PM

Well, they are my alternative to purchasing actual physical real estate... much cheaper and with a greater return on your investment.

dasexi1 · 03-06-2005, 05:21 PM

I'm totally addicted

AVM · 03-06-2005, 05:24 PM

No. I am only addicted to selling domain names, not registering them.

03-06-2005, 05:29 PM

grabbing good domain names can be a thrill... you know right away in your mind they will turn a decent size profit.

Actually, this is true on a smaller scale.

Polish A, with a bit of SEO knowledge, a few good inbound links and some (Ad)Sense or/plus PhpAdsNew every domain I have is profitable with 15min of setup.

Same. Been racking up a bunch of linkpop + OVT domains this month. Just can't ignore cheap traffic names.

Pornwolf · 03-06-2005, 05:51 PM

What's the best expired domain service?

03-06-2005, 05:56 PM

deleteddomains.com was good, but was hacked... and they recently started charging for a subscription service.

Still worthwhile though I think. Quick search script.

Spunky · 03-06-2005, 05:57 PM

I do have a few..always on the back burner though
