ok please, please take this advice. Dont buy any names until you have read, read and re-read lots here. I have made so many mistakes I cann't tell ya but there as so many very nice people here that will help

Its a great place so stick around just dont go buying lots of shit* like I did for at least 2 weeks

:lol: advice taken

advice: never let anything get you down. I have bought numerous domains, only to have them appraised at

Reg Fee :imho:

and sometimes that can be quite harsh.

Also, read up about domaining, and get into the habit of using tools such as overture and google.

Buy all your domains from these site:
- registerfly.com
- godaddy.com
- domainsite.com
- enom.com
- namepros.com
and a few others. This way you can sell them on easier as most people who are into domaining will have accounts there.

Also a few oher tips:
- .infos suck
- .bizs suck
- the few remaining .coms will most probably suck the first few times you try
- (apparantly) you should never buy a .net without the .com version!

so basically, all TLDs suck! :lol:

Anyway - Good Luck, I hope you d better than me!

 

[JH]

so basically they all suck lol i will remember that one lol

 

[PoorDoggie]

i see that domain you are selling in your signature has hyphens in. Hyphens are bad for domains, unless established as a proper website with traffic (ie: good-tutorials.com)

Research, Before you buy & dont buy on impulse. Unless it's a really good name

Remember, Google & Archive.org are your friends!

 

[JH]

archive.org? i have never heard of that i will have a look at that now then, what are the main things people should look for in a domain, shortness? im sorry if all this stuff sound stupied just i really dnt have a clue bout it lol

 

[ThreeD]

so basically, all TLDs suck! :lol:

so we're all really wasting our time

 

[PoorDoggie]

so we're all really wasting our time

sorry, my mistake... let me correct myself:

"All TLDs suck, for me! "

Not all .info's Suck

Reg-fee-IMHO.info does

lol... ok... sorry - I will rephrase (again):

"all .infos suck... for me "

and the same for anything else that I have said that anyone wants to split hairs over grrr..

more adwice: before buying make sure it is not a somebodys trademark. will cost ya.

 

[barefoottech]

- (apparantly) you should never buy a .net without the .com version!

I missed one ,Poor doggie
My main site is BareFoottech.net
(and I do own .com ,but bought it long after the .net)
and that is My Domain also www.Reg-Fee-IMHO.info

:cy:
I am one Domainer who thinks all .tld's have some purpose in life (even .com's)

well i guess my dream of becomin a mulit millionair wid one domain has gone completly outta the window haha well i guess the best way to learn is through trial and error, so after i have messed up a few times i could maybe make a few dollars lol or maybe not.
