Your name as a domain

[Nathan]

Do you have your name in a domain name?

Eg. firstnamelastname.com or firstname.com or lastname.com?

I've been hoping to get my last name in a .com format for years. The name expires on the 17th July. I'm hoping no one else wants it and finally after about 5 years of waiting it will be mine!

Have mine - But, have a friend that has been waiting for over five years - (Backordered every year) - The guy that owns it uses it as his resume and is a pretty good animator in Hollywood so not a chance in hell to get it right now..

Another thing that some people don't do because it could get them hurt - (with all the nut-cakes running around out there) - is their address - 1234elm.com, etc - it's almost like owning real estate anyway..

Getting your address as a domain? That's odd. What happens when you move?

LOL - hope for another webmaster to move into the same address and sell it with the house/apt!

hah yeah that could work I guess.

Do people prefer first and last name or just one name?

i do now. not sure what i'm gonna do with it. but it's mine. the sad stories above made me do it.

 

[Nathan]

hah yeah i can get my firstnamelastname.com one but eh what will I do with it?

I really really want my lastname.com one. Only 19 days until it expires finally!!

Someone in Portland, Oregon registered my name (.com) so I had to go with .ca - That's OK, I am Canadian.

www.kimstewart.ca in case you missed it in the signature haha

My firstnamelastname.com is available but I don't know I'm sort of half half about registereing it. It's like my privacy is gone if I do. I know that technically by being on the web it's gone alreayd but still it's just weird.

Registering lastname.com is no problem though. Only a few more days now and it's expired. Then to wait out the grace period and hopefully in a little while I can have it.
