Do You Ever Buy Domains And Forget About Them?
 

Just got a renewal reminder for close to 40 domains I registered last year that I totally forgot about.

Originally I had a use for them, I recall now what it was but for some reason I lost track of that specific project.

Now to figure out if I want to spend the $ on renewals to keep them or let them expire :Oh crap

any worth selling ?

Forgot about them? No. But we have about 100 domains that were supposed to be used for a lot of different things but have yet to see the light of day... So fucking hard to find reliable help these days.

Never forgotten any, but after getting some needed sleep I've been known to look over 3-4AM "brilliant" purchases and go, "What the hell?":upsidedow

Haha yeah I do that some weekends too, drink a few beers think to myself 'this is gonna be awesome' get past the hangover the next morning and wonder WTF was going through my mind :1orglaugh

I try to delegate newly registered domains to my own name servers so they're right there in front of me. Occasionally I forget, and only realise months later that they're sitting in my registrar account doing nothing.

Yeah spelling mistakes and all.

smoked a join the other night and spelled the wrong domain and purchased it for 5 years :(

Many ways you can think about making money... free yourself from bad thinks.. carry on.

When you have thousands of domains, it definitely happens. I had once bought a domain off Afternic (normally don't do that but it was a killer deal on a 1995 reg video related name). It was at a piece of shit registrar I never dealt with. Never got any emails from them when expiration came and only found out a couple months later I had lost it. Worst few hundred bucks I ever spent considering that.

sometimes.

I put them into a spreadsheet and being as I hit this spreadsheet daily, no, I don't forget about them.

I love spreadsheets.

Would that make you a Nerd or a Geek? :1orglaugh

Not as much now, but it still happens here and there. When I used to own a few thousand domains it happened every month.

LOL Yeah same here.... What sounds GENIUS sometimes, sounds very different a day, week, month later... :upsidedow

many many times!

The moment you buy an adult domain, make it a Hostedtube.com site until you develop it into whatever you have planned. It will earn its reg fees and more with almost zero work after setup in most cases.

If you want someone to turn your 40 domains into quality Hostedtube sites for you, contact me, info in sig..,

im watching one domain that expired on the 18th .. hope its not one of yours waiting for it to drop :D

I have forgotten them and had them expire only to visit someone else's site.

I actually bought 31 .coms so far strictly to set up as niche hosted tubes, mainly for hard links but they are slowly increasing in revenue as well. :2 cents:

Welcome to my world .... I have been helping the GoDaddy economy for years ... :Oh crap

We should be allowed for a date with Danica .. woot woot :winkwink:

Always transfer them to my main registar, can be done automaticly by them on a certain date. They sent every day an email with the domains that must be renewed the next 30 days and how long i have to renew them and the cost per domain.

All the time...

no because I have a word document listing them all and their date of expiration, but what I do is I have an idea and I believe that I'm being smart so I register the domain, and one day or two later I think, what a shit I made, this is so bad, so now I made a promise to stop registering domains. I already have enough.

we all make a promise last one each time

agreed, pretty sure I give GD over 5k a year for the last 10+ years, should be worth a handjob at least :thumbsup

I didn't convert well enough to pay for the domain so far.

meh, that's not bad. I've set up one or two and didn't start pushing them for a while. I always figure a 3 day old .com with a post count of like 2000 is a little shady. I don't think there is anything bad against domain age in any way :thumbsup
