URL "Spring Cleaning" • How Many Domains Do You Have?
by John SaddingtonTotally inspired by @rosiesherry's post, I'm cleaning out my "domain closet" and trying to kill any subscriptions for unused domain names... and domain names that I know I don't have time for, at least realistically.
😅
I'm a recovering domain registration addict but I still could do without a handful of them!
I'll go first... I presently have... 45 registered domains at the present time, 43 sit in one spot and i have 2 elsewhere:
I'm sharing this because it'll help keep me accountable to trimming it down this week!
Gasp... okay, your turn!!
How many domains / URLs do you have (and how many do you want to get rid of)?
Trending on Indie Hackers
What do you think about NFTs?
Speed is the killer feature
Getting sick of the phrase "build an audience"
Is the vidds UX too crazy? Can you make a video for your SaaS?
Twitter is testing a way for indie hackers to sell products through tweets
What is your % open rate?
The way I justify it is this.
I give myself one year to turn the domain into something.
If a year later I've done absolutely nothing with that idea, I let it lapse.
i do rotate through. the problem is i have quite a number of projects that now redirect to a number of places... i try to eol them after a few years... it's hard to track though.
🙈
lol... what's the number?
There is 145 in my account but a fair number are domains I manage for other people. Still >100 are mine.
I purchased my first domain in 1998 and still own it 😊
Let them go, I had a domain for my name. I dropped it for the younger generations.
Do I do the math right, at worst case this hobby costs you >$1450/year.
Did the math too, it's a taxable expense for me, and I've sold a few in the past that has more than covered the costs.
Also, the majority have functioning sites attached to them, not just hoarding domains 😀
good point on the taxable expense.
that's the low-end!
that's is really cool!! i have some very old ones as well.
@8bit I am shook at you having 45 domains😂 I thought I was bad with around 7/8 but you take that 🏆
not a source of pride. i need help.
I am somewhere around 20+ right now, but Have had more in the past.
teehee.
Around 100+ domains but most of the are for same name but different extensions (.net, .com, .app etc.)
whoa.
Only 3
you have... a lot of self-control. GIMME.
You gotta be kidding. I saw 100+ in the answers. What are you people doing.
I have only one domain, bought recently to sell domains. 🤯
🤡
don't get sucked in!! you're still safe!!
