Your first domain, with a backstory (if you want)

Mine: Ignition Cars dot com / dot co dot uk ...a business called "Ignition", brokering second-hand cars, unsuccessfully

One of first domains I bought for resale was:
Nob.tel 2011
I was mega noob back then

 

[Orlwynn]

Lol! Got me good.

The first domain I registered was in 1993. It occured to me then that domains might be valuable someday, but I was pre-occupied pushing the research envelope and didn't have time nor money to buy LLL's.

Now I haven't hand reg'd a domain for awhile, but today I did...and felt the rush

My first domain was a country name in Africa but it no longer exists....
Bophuthatswana.com
I hand regged it at Network Solutions in late 90's when I was about 12 years old, I found it through viewing the dial code of all countries from an expired local yellow pages phone book, and I dropped it one year later when I realized that the country was gone forever.

I now own 4~5 country .com names and luckily they all still exists.

HotWebSpot.com back in 2003 industry was my first hand reg. I was developing it to be a social networking site starting with pubs and bars... then I thought the whole "social networking thing" would never last and canceled project. I was a poor college student and tried to get my money back and stumbled on the domain industry. What a ride it's been!

 

[sellian]

Mine was even misspelled: TastyKetoRecipies.com.

I thought I would make millions selling keto diet programs through affiliate marketing with a simple website on that domain. I then realized that the name was misspelled so I regged TastyKetos.com.

My hopes of becoming a billionaire through this process vanished very quickly so I let the domains expire along with my dreams

 

[Nametra.com]

PCGamesUSA.com.

Hot on the tails of Business.com selling for $12M.

And I thought my domain would make me a zillionaire too!

 

[IrfanHabib]

Are you sure? Not LookAtMyWifeNow.com?

its available for reg. ha ha

 

[jhm]

It's firstdomain.top if I take your question literally.

 

[Jak Blak]

Ha! I believe it was carytoyota com. I only had to be a member here for a few days before cancelling it. I’ve learned a lot since then.

 

[lock]

The first domain i sold was probably in same batch to a nick @CraigD could verify as has one also.

 

[FolioTeam]

My first domain was Afrimov.com. I still own it. I think I registered that in 2015 or 2016 for a site for African movies.

The experience of searching for an appropriate name back then and finding them all taken was what got me into domaining in the first place.

 

[cipcip]

My first domain registered was gfxclass.com in 2006.
I wish I knew more about domaining then as lots of domains were available, but this is life

I registered this because it was similar to a domain i liked in an active graphics community, called gfxartist.com ... this does not exist now anymore.
