When did you buy your first domain?

I bought my first domain in 2003, when I was 12 years old. It was a terrible name!

(TheNBABobcats.com)

1998 When I told people I wanted to build a website they always asked "What's a website?"

Absolutely not.

You can still purchase .com from owners that undervalue their holdings.

You can purchase new gTLDs if you accept more risk and at it as a mid/long-term investment/speculation (3-5 years) instead of immediate flipping.

I think I got you all beat age wise in the single digits with NetSol. Just couldn't afford the renewal fees on awesome names.

Technically, it was under my parents name, so I guess you all have me beat as I didn't "own" it/them.

I bought my first name in 2001, (much older than 12) The first time I paid the slightest bit of attention was in 1997. A friend of mine owned a bunch of generic one word .coms. He said someday they would be worth a lot of money, but I hadn't a clue back then.

March of 2014. It was actually a developed website blog I ran as well.

 

[vickyhunter]

December 1996. I registered 'My Name'+ world .com .... Aaaaaargh!

Had I known what to register back then....

Welcome to the domain family!

2012, if I can recollect. It was for a personal blog. Only around October 2016, when I sold that blog, did I realise that there is something called as Domain Trade!!!

 

[Dmytro]

2012, bought few domains for sell without even the slightest understanding of sales or domains
These were seo-promotion.biz, world-games.org and two IDN names. When came expire date I deleted all names and thought - it's a bad bad business and I cannot make money on it.
A typical mistake of a person who is looking for the cause of problems in something, but not in himself (in this case - the lack of market understanding, which names pick up, who is my end user etc).
