title pic 3 Reasons Why I Own So Many Domain Names ^^

Posted By Luana on October 15, 2011

According to Domaintools.com I own over 205 domain names. Amazing. :)

Yes, it truly is, especially if you consider that I lost count. Ahah! XD I’ve been buying and selling domains since 2007, when I used to rely on a very low budget. Now, I have at least $150 a month I can spend on domain names — or alternatively on books, clothes and computer accessories… sometimes e-courses too!

Looking at promo codes on sites like Retailmenot or Domainpromocodes made me wonder…

Why do I keep buying domain names?

Answer #1 ~ Because of a Domain.
There are domain names I’ve loved for an entire life. They used to belong to bloggers and friends I had in the past, whom are now on different domains or have quit blogging for eons; or alternatively, domains I had floating in my mind before they were finally registered. In all these cases, each Domain I bought had something to remind myself, a piece of my life — or one of my Characters, which fit perfectly.

Answer #2 ~ Because of Domain Coupons.
Take the current Network solutions promo code, for instance — it allows to buy domains for only $6.99, which is a steal price compared to the $10-$15 of many registrars. Domain deals are always something that touch an inner button, that pushes me to buy those domain names I’d been thinking of. By using coupon codes, sometimes I manage to save up to $20 per order, depending on how many domain names I purchase.

Answer #3 ~ Because of the Pleasure of Domain registration.
This is something more visceral, I guess, like a fetish… Of course, I keep it under control, but sometimes I have to admit registering a new domain names is more similar to eating a delicious meal than performing a simple operation: the sheer delight of pushing buttons and completing an order. I don’t know… it might just be another form of shopaholic-ness. ^^”

Guess what? I even bought Apple-Crunch.org, a memorable domain that used to host a beautiful forum community. :D I used to be a member there, so many good memories… Now I have one of my Characters managing it, turning it into a beautiful fairy tale. :) Certainly better than leaving it in the hands of domain spammers, no?

Luana SpinettiHi! My name is Luana. I'm a 26 years old Italian girl living in a province of Rome. I'm engaged   to my one and only soulmate Simone (and married to a Transformer, Jackie, in imagination only :P). I live with my parents, brother and sister, and 2 wonderful little robots, Orion   and Erik . I'm a freelance illustrator, article writer and translator. I'm a DeviantART addict, a domain junkie, and a very feminine, motherly, out-of-the-box, creative girl. On the downside, I get depressed way too easily, and sometimes I turn into a lazy procrastinator. Read more about Luana Spinetti
