The first domain that you ever reged?

[Jon]

I thought this would be an intresting thread to start.
So, what was the first domain that you reged and in what year?

That's a nice one. Too bad you dropped it :-(

Mine: JetPrivate.com I think. I was all up in arms about recouping my $9 reg fee, lol. Ended up selling for $30 profit, IIRC.

 

[Frontline]

I think alot of people let decent names drop when the reg/renewal fees were $35+ at least.

fubarsys.slo.ca.us - 1988
ambler.net - 1991
punk.net - 1994

 

[Beachie]

bunbury.wa.gov.au - Oct 1995

I'm guessing you let punk.net drop the following year, Chris?

Even worse; domains were free until early 1996..

I recently posted link to a 1996 usenet posting - someone selling music.net for $1500 and being abused for selling something that cost nothing.. how times change.

 

[cambler]

Nope. I'm still associated with PunkNet and they use the domain under the agreement that if they ever fold, I get it back. In other words, it's theirs forever, but they have to give it back when they're done.

1. psychotropics.org Apr-1997 ... mediocre
2. drugindex.com May-1997 ... getting better
3. cannabis.com May-1997 ... finally got it right LOL!

EZWebdesigns.com 1995, let it drop 1999...reregged it in 1999, still own it.

Well I wish I would have registered other names besides this one. Knowing then what I know now.... :wink:

Just think of the names back in '95 that were still available..and I get this one... :wink:

FraTeLa.org in 2000 for a client.

ftl.org was the preferred name, but was for sale with an asking price of US$3000.

I noticed ftl.org dropped earlier this year, and went for something over $200 at Pool if I remember correctly, which was more than I was prepared to pay.

I'm very thankful to the client, as I would never have got into the domain business if they hadn't asked to have their own domain name.
