it used to be four or more, but i was able to let some go a few years ago. if we're talking total household domains, though, we're still at 7 minimum

just one. why would i need more?

sure, used to be you might be able to sell them at a profit later, but those fancy new tlds put a stop to that

want a hot investment tip, though? two words: public ips

no way to create more; price can only go up up up. basically the bitcoin of the internet

i sold a domain for a deece 4.5 figgies last week so i have one less domain. it happened randomly out of the blue, and until that point, domain ownership had only brought me pain and sorrow.

two. one .com and one .net (the .com was taken by a legitimate niche business.) might pick up another someday.

Too many.

- <real_name>.net, for my personal web site (some motherfucker in Canada snagged the .com version and hasn't updated it since 2014, so I'm waiting for when it finally becomes available)
- 4 different .coms for the same project (trying to hit the primary ways people might type it out), bought two years ago and the project still hasn't gotten off the ground
- 1 .com for a random project I wanted to start 3 years ago, and then completely forgot about until just now when I logged into GoDaddy to get a count of how many domains I have.

Since this is a long weekend, I'm going to try to knock out the project with the 4 different domains. It won't take too long to get an MVP off the ground, and honestly the hardest part will probably be getting the domains updated to work on my OCI account.

6, but I thought it was 5 :shobon:

- email/personal site
- joke domains for projects I never made
- a vanity site for a hobby

having a joke domain was handy for a bluesky handle

I get a free punycode domain due to having a .hk domain, however I'm pretty sure Team Blue is going to poo poo on the interwebs in HK so moving to a new domain to avoid that.

I own rodtronics.website which imo is a good TLD


also cancelled my sub with format.com for wfphotonz.com cos while I liked the page it made for me it was also $10usd a month and not once had anyone ever try to contact me thru it. not just worthless but worse than worthless. costly and bogus.

all I have left is my domain I use for personal email, and I also own the domains for both my kids' names if they ever wanted to use them when they're older.

I still own wfphotonz.com but I did bail on the hosting


format.com does make a tasty looking photo gallery website ngl but .. lol.. not ONCE did anyone ever hit me up about paying for some photo

being deep in the hole as far as returns for advertising .. it’s a bit like those mf who are looking forward to the rusted matina on they cybertruck
