Doctor Q
Apr 9, 2008, 04:51 PM
If you go to yourfirstname.com and yourlastname.com and yourusername.com, what kind of websites do you get? (You don't have to tell us your real name to answer.)
I'm curious whether you get a business site, your own personal site, someone else's personal site, an unused domain, a parked domain, or something else. If you find something interesting at yourfirstname.net or yourlastname.net or yourusername.net, tell us about those too.
Here's what I get:
firstname.com: parked domain
lastname.com: business
DoctorQ.com: parked domain
firstname.net: business
lastname.net: parked domain
DoctorQ.net: medical site with broken English

Hmm... www.jaffacake.net (http://jaffacake.net/) is some kind of environmental blog thing. Nowt much of interest there. :o
As for my real name...
myrealfirstname.com is a directory-type site.
myrealfirstname.net is a blog.
myrealfirstname.co.uk is a single webpage with a big 'email me' link.
myrealsurname.com is a Hong Kong-based pharmacutical company.
Nothing comes up for myrealsurname.net or myrealsurname.co.uk.

Haha, fun, I wonder how long before someone gets something fun?
Everything I tried came up parked or unregistered except for krishnan.net, which is actually taken up by a family website for a family with the same last name as me. :)

Someone's personal site for my first name.
My Dad's site for my last name.
My blog for killmoms.com, obviously (from which you can find out my real first and last name—incidentally my resumé/professional site is at firstnamelastname.com. ;))
Nothing interesting at the .nets. I really should get the .nets and .orgs for my sites.

Wierd flash animation on constant loop for my first name. Placeholder for the second name.
Hmm, I wonder if we have the same first name? I get a strange animation that does nothing but loop around too?
And my last name (which has an unusual spelling) happens to be a blog site for a woman that lives in the same suburb that I do. Who'd have thought that in all the world that there would be two of us in the same 15 mile square, both with web sites.
Hers is mylastnamespelledpeculiarly.com and mine is mylastnamespelledpeculiarly.org?
vanmacguy.com doesn't exist - yet.
myfirstnamelastname.com belongs to me, so no surprise there.
Bizarre...

firstnamelastname.com = website with photos I've taken and freelance articles I've written
I use the URL for email. At one point, I was going to start a freelance writing business, but I never completed the site and was always toying with redesigns. Eventually, I just linked it to a Google blog and it is what it is.

Next time register your domain with godaddy.com - they'll make sure you don't forget to renew by spamming your inbox daily ;)

lastname.com --> Domain is for sale.
sushi.com (http://www.sushi.com) --> Without exploring in detail, it seems like a centralized shopping information site.

Well:
richard.com — link-farm/parked domain
flynn.com — ‘Flynn Systems Corp.: Automatic Test Generation’
I own richardflynn.net; it’s my own site. richardflynn.com is a parked domain. I got in touch with the company that’s squatting there 13 months ago and was quoted $1488 USD. I didn’t respond; since then I’ve received a number of offers from the company in question to buy it for 15% off. The best ‘deal’ they could offer me was for 20% off, but $1190 USD is still far too steep for the likes of me just to have another domain name…

tersono.com - I own this one, along with several others - it's just a parking page, though, as I use tersonodesign.com as my main URL at present. If I ever leave my current employment, though, I'll be using it as a business website =]

firstname.com - A generic parking page. Funny, I've never looked at this before.
lastname.com - It forwards to my LinkedIn page. Ditto .org. I missed .net and don't want to pay the $500 they are asking...
firstnamelastname.com - Also forwards to my LinkedIn page.
myusername.com - Just a page to hold the space for me until I figure out how I want to market it. Also .net and .org, with and without hyphens.

Well that was interesting DoctorQ.
First Name.com: Get a loan, buy land, etc, (ie; spend money) also it was all in Japanese, so I think your ip address plays a part of it and I'm in Japan.
Last Name.com: business (architects)
Eastend.com: parked domain that is an ip address.
First Name.net: No server
Last Name.net: Fencing Club
Eastend.net: Get a loan, buy land, etc, (ie; spend money) also it was all in Japanese again, so I think your ip address plays a part of it as I said before.
First Name.org: No server
Last Name.org: LITOPIA WRITERS' COLONY!, whatever that is?
Eastend.org: Travel site some in Japanese, most in English, it's getting Hotels, cheap flights, travel Insurance, and Travel.
