How many domains do you own?

I've got two domains (although I ponder getting new ones every now and then).
pyrotoaster.com
and macunderground.net (I wanted .com, but some domain hoarding company based in the Cayman Islands owns it).

It's just useful to have them (I've used them both for various sites), and they're really cheap to keep.
I use RegisterFly to manage them and they were only like eight or nine bucks, and the site offers all sorts of management services. I use domain forwarding to point pyrotoaster.com to a site on my iDisk.

Can you justify a .Mac account? I use my .Mac account for things I want to post but that don't really need a domain name.

No, I can't.

I don't have a need to post pictures on the intrnet/blog/offer files for download/iDisk

If I needed to do any of that that stuff, I can just ssh to my computer and do it that way.

As for email, my hotmail account is fine, so is my Gmail one.

I guess I can t justify $100 a year, when I can already do most of that stuff.
 
I've just got three of them. One is a personal site, one is a business that I was thinking of starting but haven't got around to yet, and another is a personal site for my little bro I'm setting up. I've used GoDaddy for all of them, and it's been pretty easy to maintain with them.
 
because im under 18 legally i dont own anything :(....but i am the admin for nusuni.com (which i pay my parents for every month).

Just recently some company called up for ME and claimed I owned some crazy domain with them. I explained to them that they are very incorrect and I have only been the admin of 1 domain in my life, and that is nusuni.com. We talked on the phone for at least 40 mins until i finally yelled at the idiot. AH yes that wus a big deal, he knew my name, address, phone number, etc. The funniest part is they claimed I bought the domain back in 1998. Jeebus christ, i wus only like 8 or 9 in '98. Companies are sooooo annoying nowadays.

I'm under 18, but I bought my domains with a Visa Buxx card (which acts like a regular Visa). So technically, I own my domains (although I don't think I told RegisterFly my age, anyway).

Actually no offense but have you read the laws. Legally by federal laws when you are under the age of 18 it is impossible for YOU to own anything. Legally parents own all your assets until you are 18 (which means if they take somtin outta ur room or wutever, you cannot sue them for robbing you), and are responsible for you until you are 24 (this number changes depending on what state you live in, however).

Just ask a lawyer, they will say the same exact thing.

Well yes, I know that legally I can't own anything yet. Practically speaking, I do "own" it, though.
 
8 .com, 4 .com.au. Fortunately I'm a domain name reseller so the price is right :).

I registered the .com of my name a few months back, which was a nice feeling (good for the ego :D).
 
5 personally -- 4 .com, 1 .org (always wanted a .net, too, so far no need), plus two for the family, and a couple for clients.

The only really interesting one I have is animeworld.com (got that one through a stroke of luck years ago when a squatter let it lapse; I always wanted animeworld.net, too, but didn't take advantage when I had the chance).

I'm consitering buying some more to resell, I found good dot coms names unused.

You know, at this pint they're probably unused because nobody wants them.
 
2 .coms

EmoOnline.com being the only one that has anything on it.

The other is the future domain for the computer club website at my school (I own the domain, but didn't pay for it :p).

Just one, in my sig. But domains are dirt cheap, its hosting that costs about 10 times as much as the domain!
Click to expand...

no kidding.

But I've seen edesignuk (I'm going off of memory, sorry if it was someone else) advertising asmallorange hosting, and they seem to have really good cheap deals. The higher priced ones aren't as good of deals IMO.

I use iPowerWeb which I've liked a lot so far. $7.99 a month I think.

Bought the domains using GoDaddy.
