discuss What Are You? A Domainer or a Domain Originator?

[ThatNameGuy]

A Speculator? A Creator? A Developer? A Investor? A Artist? A Domainer? or none of the aforementioned? I'm about to register a couple of domain names that clarifies exactly who I am, and I'm proud of it. Having hand registered 1,500 domains in the last 12 months I've finally determined I'm a Domain Originator and not a a domainer (which still isn't a word btw). One would have thought that leaders in this industry would have clarified this by now?

Originator defined: a person who creates or initiates something.

Domainer defined: No Definition....sad

I've been creating names for businesses all my life, and it wasn't until recently that I started creating domain names. There's really little difference imho, and I feel I'm getting better at it every day.

So I'm a Domain Originator similar to a Mortgage Originator. I create internet domain names for .coms etc. I also recently originated the name DomainOrigination(.)com to coincide with DomainOriginator(.)com. Google shows that both Wiki and Investopedia have a page description for "Mortgage Originator" but none for Domainer or Domain Originator

For those of you who create domains like me (keeping in mind every domain was created by someone), now you can proudly say you're a Domain Originator adding credibility to your profession

If you create domains like me, share your profession with the world. I know I will.

Crappy domains? I think not, but what do I know....I'm just a newbie who hasn't a clue

Cheers Everyone!

speculator - no

creator/developer - yes, interested in innovative & viral projects, erecting servers

investor - i invest time, dedication and tech knowledge

artist - if you meant the art of domaining, sure, it has potential

domainer / domain originator - of course (not full-time)

I am never going to be a fan and I have crossed the line when commenting on your threads before, but I will keep this on point.

The attention you are getting is the WRONG kind! (Please don't reply back with any publicity is good publicity)

I would of thought with the experience you have, building a network within the industry and learning from proven successful people would of been a top priority. Instead you have created a reputation for yourself where people are tearing holes out of you and the advice that has been given is dismissed out of hand and disparaged.

All of these threads show on Google and it is not hard to search for, this means your name is being attached to all of this which can't be good.

I mean not everyone agrees with everyone, but the way you deliberately antagonise people is baffling - what are you hoping to achieve?

I have read through this thread and I still can't tell if you have actually sold any names?

HeHe

I have a new one for you....

Just to share with you a little more of my "Origination" talent...this one is for you MrAcidic. Originated just 10 minutes ago;

HashConnoisseur(.)com

Most of the domainers I run into around here can't even spell "connoisseur". Is this the way it's spelled in the UK, or is it CONaSEWER

 

[.X.]

I want that “PRO” under my name @bmugford and @hawkeye , although the odds are, well maybe 0.001% of me ever getting it, I can admire both of yours

@xynames too,

Ok, I will stop dreaming and get back on topic, I think I am a domain procrastinater , that may be why I can’t see the light to getting me a “PRO” under my user name, an old feller needs to reinvent himself so he can work towards getting that PRO, I want it!lol

Yes Bulloney, this is why its a bad domain, especially for stoners, but you have fun with that.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Why do I get the feeling the old timers around here can't believe I originated the domains; DomainOrigination and DomainOriginator. I'll be licensing my new names tomorrow at both the local and state offices. And just for my critics reading pleasure, you can read about another one of my crappy Originations here; Enjoy! https://www.namepros.com/threads/sh...cannabis-domains.777011/page-527#post-6937614

I'm having so much fun, and I credit it all to you

Both domains have been registered and dropped before. DomainOriginator has changed hands many times.

You did NOT originate either one. Not sure why you are throwing your money away, but heck, it's your money.

Now wait, are you suggesting that someone could have regged this domain before our resident naming expert did? Like 15 years ago! That couldn't be possible, because our naming expert has named many businesses before, and as an 'domain originator', no one would have the foresight to think of names on par with his 'years' of naming expertise.

 

[ThatNameGuy]

Thanks a MILLION guys/gals....keep bringing it! You're ALL my heroes

Thanks for the analysis, but "Domain Originator" isn't a word just like "domainer" really isn't a word. The only ones searching "domainer" are typically domainers themselves. I didn't register DomainOriginator for resale, but rather a name that non domainers might relate to, and better explains to family, friends, peers and "end users" what I do for a living.

While it's no big deal, it does appraise for more at GD than most of the typical domain names. Trust me, there are a lot of them. 99% of the public doesn't know what a "domainer" is regardless of search results. As a business guy I luv a name that explains what it is that I do...ex. "Credit Control Corporation", "Inquisitor Investigations", "Make Something Happen". These are real names of real companies that I started, named, bought, sold or merged.

Finally, no one is looking for me and my domains, but that's not to say that this "Domain Originator" wont be proactively marketing domains to end users.

New words are created all the time. When they pass certain criteria, they are added to the official English dictionary.

"Domainer" would have a fair chance of being added to the dictionary, imo.

As was mentioned above, many domainers recycle domains from the expired lists. Therefore they are not the "originator" of the domain.

I hand regged about 25 free domains today, that were on the expired list. Originally they were on my expired list, so I know I am not the originator.

There's too much work in this already, I am not sure about also checking am I the "originator" from domaintools.com! Even with GTLDs, you'd have to check u were the originator.

The dot com is free btw.

Maybe a good idea for domainers would be to try and get the word listed in the official dictionary?

Thanks for your thoughtful response Alan (from NP profile). I looked into having a word added to the dictionary at one time, and it really didn't seem to be too difficult. I would think that some industry leaders could make that happen for "domainer"

I see where you own 6,000 names or about 4x as many as I own. I've not picked up a single name of my 1,500 domains via expiration, so without me researching my names even further than I already do, I'm not really concerned about the name's; DomainOrigination and DomainOriginator to identify who I am, and what I do. I actually think it adds credibility that seems to be a pretty important issue in this industry. As a matter of fact, I picked up a couple of "trading as" or DBA certificates today for my new names.

I do however use the USPTO search feature to check to see if any of my names have "possible" trademark issues. A few have, but in each case I've discovered a workaround.

Again, thanks for your input and good luck originating

I just originated v\e\n\u\s\h\e\m\p\.com.

This must mean you sir are a DOMAIN ORIGINATOR™ Great job!

I think the term for what your describing is "original registrant" which is already commonly used.

Thanks Branding, but the name(s) DomainOriginator™ and DomainOrigination™ are perfect for what I do. Most of the 1,500 domains I've registered were originated by me. Take for example the domain, VenusHemp.com that dyn888 just registered...he was the "original registrant" for that domain, but it's because he originated that domain, that makes him a Domain Originator as well. He actually originated the domain before he registered it. I originated a domain about an hour ago, CashforyourHash.com that is now part of my Marijuana/Cannabis portfolio. Some of us are multi talented in that we're both Domain Originators and Original Registrants

HighCanada! This is for you!

So what is the difference between an original registrant and your definition of domain originator? Please keep your answer simple like two sentences or so, more than that would confuse me
