Who else has used whois to look up where your own name is registered? :)

I'm guilty of it because I accept too many damn pushes and get lazy about transferring names. I just wanted to see if anyone else ever does it or if I'm cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

All the time. I sell a lot of names. every time I get an offer I check to see that I'm still the owner, where it's registered, and the expiration date. With domains listed at my own site, fabulousdomains, sedo, afternic, forums, and sometimes other places, I sometimes forget to take this off the a list when sold. Better to check to see I still own before accepting an offer. I've also had trouble where I couldn't access the domain (registerfly) and had to make sure I had full access before starting a transaction. Nothing like making a sale and then finding you have problems with doing a transfer.

I also often look at other extensions of the same name. If an offer is good, I'll sometimes register them to limit alternatives and because I then know the name has value to someone. I've occasionally sold a name and then added on a name for a small profit that was actually available when they made the offer.

I do it for DNS too. I have a few hosts and about half a dozen registrars...confusing

8-X Dangerous practice if you own more than 10+ domains IMO! Registrars aren't the most reliable people/companies to entrust to caring for your investments!

LOL, yea, I've done the whole look up a domain, see it's taken, say "crap, it's taken, then looked and saw that "oh yea, I own it". I really need to liquidate some more...I've got way too many names. I can't imagine how some individuals own several thousand or tens of thousands of names. Then again, I AM lazy...I don't really keep records of my names or anything...I've started to at least a dozen times and then stopped after a few days, lol.

yes, all the time. So don't use privacy protection or else you are losing your names.
