How many domains do you own?

How many domains do you own and do you use them all?

I have three.

 

[Freckled]

I have 12 counting DH's 2.

 

[GordyMac]

I have about 13-15.. not all in the same account.

 

[BlackStorm]

I think I have something around 10, I only use a few though.
I will try count...

Ok at least 9 that I use and at least 4-5 that I bought but never use.
I dont like having too many domains, especially when Im not using them.

 

[imported_Rox Off]

36 domains - enom, godday, opensrs, namecheap, tosdomains

 

[gooooogle]

Wow 36. That must be a bit expensive.

36 domains - enom, godday, opensrs, namecheap, tosdomains

Wow thats loads..How many do you use?
If they cost on average $8/year, thats $288/year your spending on domains

 

[MikeChristopher]

about 20 odd in quite a few different places :S

 

[imported_maxhest]

20 domains, customers and my own.

 

[Leo]

I only have two, they are both my domains and I use them

 

[Lesli]

I have ten. Or is it eleven?

(pause for thought...that's the burning smell...)

Ten in use, plus two others sitting back-burner until I decide precisely how to use them.

One of my customers has about 100 domains. He only uses a hand full of them but got then just incase those names got popular. Kinda of securing the market place. He is a big time realtor.

 

[Leo]

Wow thats a lot of domains to have when hes only using a few of them.
Does he buy them with the mistakes etc. like a lot of companies do?
I dont think there is any point in paying so much for domains your not using when you dont know if something is even going to take off

 

[Lesli]

That's domain speculation: it may pay off, it may not. If people are relatively confident that they know what may become popular in a year or three, then this kind of thing can pay off. You do have to know what trends to watch, though - and then hope that someone else didn't already think the same thing that you did, because then they would have bought the domains already.

OTOH, if just a handful of the domains you purchase becomes wildly popular and someone does decide to buy them from you for a few hundred or thousand each, that can cover the original investment and make you some profit.

 

[gooooogle]

Some domain extensions are not popular though. The most popular are com, net and org.

 

[Lesli]

Exactly. Right now, because they were the first ones known and so have that...er..."TLD awareness" going, .com / .net / .org are the domain extensions that are going to be more valuable than the same domain with another TLD. You've got to know social and market trends to succeed at any kind of speculation - and even then it's no guarantee. In the future, who knows - some other domain extension could become as or even more popular, though for commercial purposes, .com may be it for quite a while.

 

[FatalSw1tch]

I have about 10 I don't use them all and have access to many more
