Do you own any domains you don't use?

[Smokey]

Do you own any domains you aren't using? I have a really old one I keep forgetting to cancel the auto-renew on. it's not costing me too much but I just have no use for it. Do you have any domain names you own that aren't being used?

 

[Ravenfreak]

I have a few domains that I own that I’m no longer using. I should get rid of some that I no longer use…

 

[x-te]

the real question for me is out of the 10s of domains i own, which one actually has a server associated with it? 1. this is why i disable all of my auto renewals because i just either don't have the time (that's a lie) or i just lose interest (truth).

I have auto renew off. But I do have some domains that are not used. I will redirect them to live sites sometimes.

 

[cpvr]

Not anymore. I used to own a couple of other domain names, but I let them expire.

How do you define "don't use"? I own 4 domains, but none of them is associated with a website at the moment. But I use them for E-Mail and FTP.

Yes, too many....

That sounds like a definition of not using.

I have a couple, but usually let them expire too.

I created Sinistra Gaming not realizing someone else had clammed that name on Twitch so I am currently trying to come up with a new brand for my streaming lol but that's the only one I currently have that I don't use? lol

 

[Cory]

Nope, I've only purchased about 2 - 3 domains in my lifetime and used them for their expiration period.

 

[Nomad]

I used to have a lot of domains that I was not using, but these days I am using all of the domains I own.

I have one like that... it was registered back in 2003 to use for a motorcycle site, but then changed my mind to target more than Texas for the site. Decided to keep the domain since I had been using it for quite a bit of email and that's what it is still used for 21 years later.
I've got another one that I was going to use to do paid hosting with about a decade ago... but decided I really didn't want those headaches of another job since I was retired.
I keep it around as a catch-all for stuff, mainly setting up server/vps names.

I own over 200 domains. Most of which I don't use. I have auto renew turned off because I like to renew them on a case by case basis. I have unfortunately lost a few domains I purchased for large sums this way though

 

[Jason]

My coderl.ink and mathl.ink domains will expire soon. Whoever is welcome to grab them if they can. Anyway, I had plans for them, but on 2nd thought, they weren't the best names.

 

[Mike30]

When I see a good domain for a project/idea/trend or cool names, I just get them. I reached up to 400+ domains at some point. I have auto renew on them because I have lost valuable domains for not auto-renew them. So, I have a lot unused domains.

 

[Dilip]

I used to have. Even now I have a couple of projects that is dormant. Otherwise, my domains are doing their part.

 

[Nomad]

Not anymore. I used to own a couple of other domain names, but I let them expire.

That's what I also did. Keeping so many domains was getting very expensive. I tried to sell them but selling domains is becoming very difficult because there are so many domain extensions and people are willing to try new extensions instead of paying a lot of money for the a domain

Wow! Have you ever had success in flipping any of them?

 

[Shortie]

At the moment, all the domains I have are being used. I have often thought about purchasing domains and keeping them but have never done it.

 

[MrDawn]

None. I've been out of the forum business since early 2015.
