URL "Spring Cleaning" • How Many Domains Do You Have?
Totally 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)?
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 😊
that's is really cool!! i have some very old ones as well.

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!
@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.
