One more addiction
Jessica has known me for years. In fact, she's known me since before I purchased my very first domain, whollymatrimony.com. So she was only too happy to point out last night that I now have a problem... Counting through the list, I realized lomo-motion.com broke the barrier. I've got ten domains for my own personal use. I know I'm not the worst one out there by far... So 'fess up. How bad is your crack domain addiction? Word of warning: once you break down and buy that second one, there's no turning back*! (*Thank god they're no longer $70/pop! The Network Solutions early days were evil, indeed.)

Hi, my name is Robyn. And I'm a domain whore.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I have 4. Jasmeet.Net , 01001010.Net , Islandboy.tk , BinaryPlayground.Net and I also registered LavenderButterfly.Net for my girlfriend.

So, I basically pay for 5 domains. I was considering getting J-No.com just cause that what the girlfriend. always says when I say something or am about to do something stupid.

OOoohhh, I don't know about this one Robyn... I think I may be the Queen Addict with 39 domains. (I've let a few lapse lately) Let's see... to name a few:
- 24-7cool.com
- 3inchbees.com
- dotcomkitty.com
- mizdyke.com
- artbeatstreet.com
- beboobop.com
- bikerwebs.com
- nocode4.com

etc.... I haven't found a 12 Step club yet... I think I'm in denial.

I wanna buy lots. LOTS! But, I have to put shoes on the ever-growing-changing-boy.

Someday.

I'm not as bad as Kitty, but I'm getting there.
JoniElectric.com
JoniMueller.com
Webjones.org
AtFirstSite.org
Purrz.net
Z-Gal.com
CommandPrompt.org
Digital-Bitch.com Cabfare.org
BigGirlsDontCry.org

So it's steady at 10. And at $11 apiece from AffordableDots.com, it's cheaper than a bumpersticker.... almost!

I'm a loser then!! I have one business domain name (not getting the URL folks). my bloganon.com address, one personal one that I used to blog with using my real name (that I won't renew this year) and my 'married' surname - ie: surname.id.au - it's an Australian thing.

So technically I have 4, but it's really only 2 for personal use.

I still vividly remember the day when Robyn told me she bought whollymatrimony.com and showed me the design with the little plane. She was so excited about how well she'd photoshopped the image (or were we using Paint Shop Pro back then!). Do you still have the little plane?? It was cute.

Can you imagine what you we'd have thought that day if we'd had a crystal ball and seen all the domains and the css coding and the blogging software and that we'd actually be making money off it??? It makes me wonder what I'll think about today's technology in 3 or 4 years time. Spooky.

I have 5 but only 1 is personal, with 2 more on the side ready for purchase. I'm getting there in the domain name addicts club.

Hm. Let's see. I've got:

tenth-muse.com
newgirlorder.org (co-owned)
digitalsorbet.com
deep5design.com
deepfivedesign.com
tiarasinhell.com
joellapalooza.com
pixelvixen.net

that's it, I think. Wait...no, that's it. lol. So...eight! Now I just need to do something with them all.

I've got four, but only two are live. Sigh.

Oh man! Hi, my name is Nancy, and I am a domain whore too! :D

10 here, not counting the subs (which really are separate in my book ;-)

¤ ¤ credit: Nancy | 05.06.03 at 11:30 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

I have ten:

- biblioblog.com
- blogwishes.com
- conspiraciesrus.com
- conspiracytheoriesrus.com
- kymberlie.com
- neuroticfishbowl.com
- picturefish.com
- polishit.com
- somethinginteresting.net

I also registered book-fetish.com for Sheila and Bran, so it shows up on my list as well.

One but considering starting two newsletters as well...

Well the question is...do so-called "professional" domains count?

Or are we talking about domains that all point back to one personal site?

Domains that I own...

mattstratton.com (personal site)
gravytrainfilms.com (film company)
dancingwithgaia.com (site for unreleased film)
windyhop.org (swing website)
windyhop.com (see above)
swinghomechicago.com (again with the swing)

dude, i only have two... i feel so left out.

¤ ¤ credit: mikey | 05.06.03 at 11:41 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

Mugsy, Jessica counted my professional ones (whollymatrimony.com, cluelessbooks.com, connect-dots.com) in her list. And tampatantrum.com, blogblogbaby.com, and tampatrash.com all point to the same place.

And Jessica, here's the original WM! design with the plane. We've come a long way, baby!

¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 05.06.03 at 11:51 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

I own 14 - 6 of which are live and three more are in progress.

¤ ¤ credit: Tam | 05.06.03 at 12:26 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

I only own one. I feel even more left out.

I just bought number 31 last night, but 8 of them are for business(es)

¤ ¤ credit: wendell | 05.06.03 at 01:28 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Well, I'm a recovering addict. ;)
I used to have 4, with 2 active, but finally all but one - my blog domain - have expired.
lionheartdesigns.com (web design)
thechurchofspike.org (my first blog)
expatiate.net (blog)
and finally mylifeasafischer.com
But I'm having these weird feelings...hard to resist..need more...

i only have 8. i'm a pseudo-domain-addict. i seem to be able to curb my desire to register domains...most times..
that and the depletion of funds helps to curb the appetite.

although talk of domains makes me want more. more. more. must.not.succumb.to.the.craving.

¤ ¤ credit: lor | 05.06.03 at 02:27 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

urban-dyke.com
soakedincinnamon.com
clitzpah.com
spreegirl.net
whenwerecats.com
studio429.com

¤ ¤ credit: Jenna | 05.06.03 at 02:55 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Well, I don't have as many for personal as I do business, but I've still got a pretty big list... (in order of purchase!)
love-productions.com
blogplates.net
theredkitchen.net
blogstyles.com
some-dreams.com (rina's, but its on my list)
locatis.com (family business)
kadyellebee.com
drslice.com (eric's but its on my list)
mt-plugins.org

Not too shabby ;)

I think that your airplane design is the first one I remember seeing, back in the days!! :) Fun memories :)

¤ ¤ credit: kristine | 05.06.03 at 03:25 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

ive one got one. but I used to own smilesalot.net i would like to have some more though...

¤ ¤ credit: Ruthie | 05.06.03 at 04:15 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

I currently own five:

~ ailurophile.com (my regular blog)
~ christine-murphy.net (home of Blogs & Pets, as well as some other stuph)
~ this-or-that.org (home of the Tuesday meme)
~ purrfectwebsite.com (kitty pages which sorely need to be updated and moved to my main hosting account)
~ fenwayfaithful.com (my baseball site, and the first domain I ever bought. I have had a few people offer to buy it from me, but I'm not selling!)

I bought my first domain from NameSecure for $35/year. I switched to DirectNic, which is $15.00/year, but am in the process of aswitching again, to 100MegsDomains, which is owned by the same guy who runs my hosting company. They are only $12.00/year! :-)

I've got three domains. All point to http://www.barzey.com

¤ ¤ credit: Ursula | 05.06.03 at 05:00 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

I've only got 2 zulyzu.com and mooncloud.net (which will one day be a site for my husband and I with pictures and stuff, but I am so busy playing with my blog I never do anything with that site!). I am so, so far from being a domain whore... my friends can't believe my husband and I even have our own domain... they'd be shocked at some of us in the blogworld, huh!

¤ ¤ credit: Zuly | 05.06.03 at 06:35 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

I just purchased my 2nd yesterday. Hee! I'm working on it ...

¤ ¤ credit: Cyberangel | 05.06.03 at 10:33 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Oh, and I found it for $9.99 if anyone wants to know where. It's not mine, I don't profit. Just passing on a good deal.
