[–] donescobar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

20 domains and counting (just got another one yesterday lmao)

[–] theComposer@beehaw.org 0 points 2 months ago

Easy decision, I pay every time.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 0 points 2 months ago

You guys have to pay? I get paid to register my domains.

This is why I never bought a domain. Can't give up on your dreams if you never pursued them in the first place!

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 months ago

my domain is my media server, so id rather not end my domain.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

bought my domain in July... still havent finished my website...

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Give it a couple years… and then a few more.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Wait you guys made websites?

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 0 points 2 months ago

Why are you stressing this nice Lemming to fast track their site? It'll take the standard 30 years. It's fine.

You... you shut up. 🥲

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Use your domain for your primary email address, have some regrets about it, but never be able to walk away..

[–] xintrik@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

That's what I do. Anytime I need to sign up for something with an email I do:

companyname@mydomain.com

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I use wildcards for some stuff, but I mostly just use public@domain.com and have my real email for friends and family private. It's not liked I get emails from friends and family anymore anyway. Everything is iMessage or SMS.

Same. Crazy obvious which companies are getting hacked or selling my info.

Soooo. I’m dumb. I host my overseerr on my domain that just routes to my local IP for my local desktop. How do I get email on this domain without spending dumb money on an email hosting server?

Don't worry, the dream lives on!

VancesCouchSloppySeconds.com is still available!!!

[–] Event_Horizon@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'd be tempted to buy that. When you visit it's just a white page with a leather couch in the middle of the screen, everytime you click the couch it would moan seductively and every fifth click would give a squelch sound.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 months ago

I still have a number of domains that I registered aspirationally for projects I never really started.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Start selfhosting. I use my domain for tons of stuff

[–] Qwaffle_waffle@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How much are you selling for?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 0 points 2 months ago

Selling? I host things for myself, not others. Except my Lemmy instance I suppose, that's public.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This is the way. I would be lost without a domain. Even mail is selfhosted with my domain. But I only use subdomains, the real domain is abandoned.

I have an HP mini PC behind the router, noip.com, no money spent

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same with the HP mini PC. But I have a $12/yr dotcom domain and a script on my server updates the DNS record anytime the IP changes.

[–] Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

You can pry cuteredpanda.com from my cold dead hands.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

[–] Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Oh no...

How about this: http://cuteredpanda.com/ ?

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

I let one of mine expire a few years ago. Finally decided I wanted to try to register it again, but a squatter is now sitting on it asking for something like ~~$10k~~ $3.6k.

Edit: just double-checked, they lowered the price to only $3595!

You know what's worse? Starting a successful one that makes a whole ass salary and then having google updates smack it the f out.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

whole-ass milk

[–] Frog@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

Neither. If I'm not using the domain, I can pretend I still have it.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 months ago

And then it becomes a pornsite.

Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.

Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago (4 children)

On the flip side my husband has held on to the domain he got for 22 YEARS., and never did anything with it. We finally got our emails up and running with it last week. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

Now think, patents are similar things but for with more money. And imagine if someone else had similar idea and made slightly similar website you go sue them coz you had the idea first.

[–] friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 0 points 2 months ago

But if I don't renew what will become of sneakymonkeybutt.net
