I was making a list of all the domains I had for someone else and thought “You know, I should keep that list somewhere.” I wish I had made this list before, it would have been interesting to see it change over time. I got my first domain in 1997 when my dad got me jessamyn.com as a birthday present.
In case people are curious, I used to use Gandi for registering domains but then they got bought by another company and the prices shot ups, so I’ve moved to Namecheap and I like them.
I have twelve domains across two registrars and I feel like I am doing okay. Only one was something I was planning to do something with and didn’t really (maybe two).
