Buying a domain name
How did I ended up buying a
domain name with my own name?
It all started with orkut[dot]com. It was the first social media that I was exposed to. The requirement here was to have unique email id.
Okay, unique! I thought nice.. lets register. But, when I tried registering with my name that is "Jino Thomas", all I got was "Oops, that username is in use, try another one!".
Well, I had to use the social media site, which was in hype during those days. So, I had to register by adding random numbers to my email id as jinothomas9123987@abcd.com . This was painful.
All my childhood I thought my name was unique. But alas, it wasn't.
Then came facebook. I tried to get a username with only my first and last name. But, again, all were registered long back. So, again, I registered with a unique username by adding few more characters and numbers with my name.
The trend continued. Yahoo, Google, Twitter, and so on.
I never got to use my name without adding few characters.
Then I stumbled upon website registrations. Since this is a costly affair, I guess it was an area not many had explored. Adding to that, the
domain name with my name was available.
How would I loose such an opportunity of adding my name on the public space without additional characters? I didn't.
I had to think over this multiple times, but what would I do if I don't get this at a later stage was the thought that haunted me.
I had to take a step, and I did.
After registering and making payments, I added my blogspot to my
domain name to start with.
If you would like to buy one, drop me an email. I would be glad to help!!
