I don't know if I like it or hate it. I need some pro opinions. What do you think? Is it worth keeping? Thanks in advance!

No opinions? I really could use some input. At first my thought was the two went together well. Internet and HUM .."The state of being or appearing to be engaged in an activity". Also buzzing with activity. Humming along...etc.
I just can't seem to come to a conclusion one way or the other. Even if the two words work together I can't come up with a good use for them. I really need a pros opinion.

If you're having to think about it, keep the thing. It's what, $8 or so at most?
Probably won't ever be huge, but you never know, and the words sorta fit...
BOL,
Allan

Agreed. Has some branding potential, but much depends upon your business model, development intentions, and the depth of your portfolio. In terms of straight up wholesale value, it is worth the reg or renewal fee. To the reseller, there are 10s of thousands of relatively good 2 word names available for registration, so alot depends upon individual tastes, interests and a degree of luck in turning a profit for a name only sale in this category. IMHO

Thanks for the advise. If I had registered at $7 or $8 I wouldn't think twice about it. I've heard some bad things about different registrars so I stick with the one I've had for 5 years. Very expensive I guess. $25.00 a year and has to be registered for a period of two years when registering a new domain. They do give me a 5 day grace period in which to cancel and get my money back, so I have 4 days left to make up my mind. The $50.00 price tag is why I'm asking for opinions. This is the first time I've ever had trouble deciding on whether to keep a name or not. One minute I like it, the next I don't. Thanks again for your input. It will help when the time comes to make my decision.

Ouch! Wouldn't be Network Solutions or Register.com would it?

I'd be broke if I were making registrations at that rate. There are several very good, legitimate, registrars avail to transfer your name to at a fraction of your cost, where your name will be safe and secure. Not trying to push you, but you are w/ an old guard company that is charging uncompetitive fees, and your name is no safer there than at several industry leading registrars where you would pay $7-8 a year w/ no 2 year stipulation.

Like on of the ads on this page:

Somewhat of a ripoff to pay $25 a year. I understand the "safety" factor you speak of, but the problem is that each registrar has its own problems, and own drawbacks.

You might experiment with a few names elsewhere, to see if you'd feel comfortable moving your "better" domains there as well.

Thanks for the info. I have been using Domain Discover. I will check into registering my names at a cheaper site as I could use a break on price. Is there one you really like? Also what does push mean? Thanks again!!
