wampthing Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Some times when I speak with my friends they are supprised to hear how many domain names I have. I can understand their reaction as most people dont work with websites. I am curious however to see how many domain names the average TCH user has. How many domains do have registered to you? Quote
marie b. Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Three of my own but I'm planning on hijacking my boyfriend's as well, since he doesn't use it anymore. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 7 (I think) on 3 sites. It´s too hot to think here in Sweden. Quote
wampthing Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 ... so maybe I am a nut. help me out here someone. Quote
abinidi Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 The most I ever had was about 10. Now I'm down to 6. Next month it will be 5. Which reminds me, I need to contact the help desk about the expiring one.... /* Paul goes off to visit the help desk. Quote
cajunman4life Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) 3, but I've always got ideas for more. Also, just curious Thomas, how hot is it in Sweden? Edited June 12, 2006 by cajunman4life Quote
Madmanmcp Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Ok, as in other things, you take the high and low number out and average the rest. So take my 1 and thow it away so it doesn't sway the results Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Also, just curious Thomas, how hot is it in Sweden? See this thread for the answer, now keep the thread ON TOPIC. Quote
Redeagle Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 12, and part owner of 5 others I didn't realize it was that many... Quote
LF from MC Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 Geez, and I thought I had a lot...I only have 3 Quote
wampthing Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 So... Tell me this. I was messing around on GoDaddy.com and found a domain that I thought was cool. AboutMe.com (my favorite subject) I wouldnt have thought that it was available, even though it showed it was, but went and purchased it anyway. I have a receipt for it, but when I go to whois, it looks like it has been registered for a long time to someone else. I havent recieved an email from godaddy explaining that there was an error, but it still doesnt show up in my list of domains. Has anyone heard of something like this? I assume that my money will be returned once they find out what they did. Quote
TCH-Don Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 From whois.sc Domain Status Message:The sponsoring registrar has put a hold on this domain. The domain can be renewed by the registrar. The domain is not available for registration at this time. So I bet you will get a message from Godaddy about that. Quote
wampthing Posted June 16, 2006 Author Posted June 16, 2006 Yup, GoDaddy came back and said that It was unavailable and that I would be refunded soon. Go Figure. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 16, 2006 Posted June 16, 2006 Dave, If you really want a 24th domain, I see that crazyuncledave.net is available (com is taken). Quote
Just_Rob Posted June 17, 2006 Posted June 17, 2006 16 Dave, I have seen where the registration server cant connect to the regisrty to validate the name as being taken or available so it will give it to you until it can verify if it is or isn't available. This way if it is available then someone else can't get to it when they can talk to each other again. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Give Instant Domain Search a try. It's written in Ajax and supposed to show in real time whether the .com, .net, and .org domain names are available. Quote
TCH-Tim Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Give Instant Domain Search a try. It's written in Ajax and supposed to show in real time whether the .com, .net, and .org domain names are available. Pretty slick. Thanks Bruce. Just added lucky number 13 to my collection. Quote
wampthing Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 Interestingly enough, that programs showed aboutme.com available as well. I would imagine it is a problem connecting to the registry like justrob said. Cool site though. Quote
mkdesigner Posted June 26, 2006 Posted June 26, 2006 Hi, I have 4 registered to me, two here on TCH the other two with a local company owned by a friend. I recently gave up two others since I really didn't have time to develop them. Marge in Reno Quote
thehemi Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Somewhere in the 20-25 range. Most are aliases for my primary few domains. Quote
TCH-Tim Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Picked up #20 this morning. It's an addiction I tell ya. Quote
Kaula Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 5, but only 2 have websites made for them. Sorta bought a few domain names I liked incase I'd want to use them in the future Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 just added number 5 and am waiting for number 6 to expire (keeping fingers crossed they are done with the name) Quote
Prel Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I have 157 domains distributed in the following way : TCH and 01 another hosting in USA 01 another hosting in CANADA 01 Data center in my country. Quote
Head Guru Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I own a bunch, never counted them to be honest. Hmm, maybe thats something I should start doing! Quote
