How long have you been playing the ‘Domain Game’?

I know that I am addicted to domaining or as they call it ‘The-Domain-Game’.

I have been buying and selling [ well, mostly buying :) ] domain names for last 10 years. I have always enjoyed it and many times sat all thru the weekends just registering domains and reading domain forums and blogs.

So many times, I thought I should just stop buying more domains but it doesn’t work. Lately I have passed couple of months without buying any domains but I am not sure how long will it last though :)

Recently, I do occasionally think that what kind of life is it, if you just spend it sitting in front of a pc?

I am getting out a bit more than before and loving it. But domain management tasks and learning web development take away a large portion of my evenings and weekends.

I am wondering how many other domainers are in similar situation like me?

- How long have you been in the domain business?

- Do you enjoy being a part of this business (or regret it sometimes)?

- Are you addicted to domaining?

- What is your secret to make domaining easy and save some time for other fun stuff?

    Hi,

    I’ve been at it for the past 1.5 years. I know exactly what you mean, Iactually started in this industry via web development, i came across an article about domainers, then fell in love.

    I’m currently in the process of developing various address… .net related.

    I also have a few south african addresses that I’ve developed:

    I’ve been doing this for 10 years, but only seriously for about 2.

    Still kick myself that 10 years ago I wasn’t buying all the right names, but that’s life….won’t get fooled again…

    I know exactly what you mean. It’s always 20-20 in hindsight. Isn’t it? :)
