question How Old Were You When You Started Domaining?

[Billy Wagner]

Hey Guys,

Just curious as to what age you where when you discovered/started domaining. I was 25, but wish I would have been around 18 or 19 when I started. I would have much more knowledge, not to mention more money (hopefully!) than I do now.

i registered my first domain in 1999 ,, bought many good names from 2000 to 2004 and sold all before left domaining in 2007 and back again buy/sell from 2008 tel 2016

So far we have ages ranging from 14 to 45. That's awesome! I've sometimes thought I got into the domaining game too late or that I was towards the "less young" a.k.a older scale as far as age goes, but seems as though there's a very wide range domaining covers.

Started about 10 years ago.. I was 32. Regged. mostly crap, but sold a few for low x,xxx. I was hooked! Had a family and took about a 6 yr hiatus. Back at it now as a profitable side hobby. Mostly shortly short, brandables.

[Azwan Asban]

I started domaining at age 20(2013).

Before i started domaining i was an internet marketer that blogging on blogspot, lol.
Now the time has changed to the .com era.

30 and now 31... Bought my first domain as a domainer couple of months ago...

I started in late 2007, when i was 23. First domain regged for $2, sold after 2 months for $x,xxx! Boom! Then i went up and down, until i put aside the domaining. Even if i still keep a portfolio, i'm not really into it, just having some flashes in the pan, sometimes for few months, sometimes for weeks. Unfortunately, the days have only 24 hours, and i tend to focus on development more than pure domaining.

[A G CHAUDHARI]

I started domaining around 3 years back, when I was 23 years old and sold first domain on the same month for $99.

Surprising and memorable thing is.. I sold my first domain in Oct-2013 and that too on my birth date.

Started first domains in 1995. I was 26. However, did not get heavily involved until 2003.

Had first girlfriend. Girlfriend left because she said I loved domain and technology more than her. I couldn't agree more. I couldn't blame her. I was bidding on domain auctions even when I was half asleep with pizza slide falling to the way side.

I told her even before I leave this world, my hand would reached out of the coffin and fingers would probably be clicking on the mouse... bidding on that last domain. Then I can happily say farewell. She left with a pair of wide eyes. Until this day, still probably have no idea what the heck I was talking about.

Second girl friend gave me ultimatum that it's either her or else. I opted for "else" and here I am in year 2016, posting to this thread with you nice folks, my fellow domainers

Oh the good old memories. By the way. What a fun topic. Kudos to the host.
