Default Why do you register a domain?

Do you register because you have made some thing for which yo uwant a domain
OR
Do you register because you think a keyword too good to let it go
OR
Do you register it because.............................

???

I first registered a domain, because i dint want to loose domain with my last name (wanted to use it as porfolio). and other becasue i thought (though it turned wrong) some domains had good keywords in it and i should not let those go.

Default Re: Why do you register a domain?

My first domain, www.SellMillionPixels.com was for a pixel ad website I was going to make. Also, www.Free-texting.com was bought for a free texting website I am doing with Brandon here at this site. All other domains I own are meant for parking and selling it to people. I have made $120 so far in domain parking with 9 domains that don't really do that much, thank you NameDrive!

I never register to sell. I start with an idea for a site, think about a domain and then get to work. I am a developer mainly, I use domains just to have a name for the site

I register domains because I want to develop it. Other times, it's because it's free for a limited time.

Default Re: Why do you register a domain?

Once the domain is registered you own it for a period of minimum one year as a contract. You should renew the domain before the contract ends or it will be available to the general public after a few days.

Domain is registered to create our own identity on web... the reason you mentioned also works but mainly for identity.. if you dont have identity then you get all benifits..

Default Re: Why do you register a domain?

I want to register a domain because I believe that most hostings will ask you for it.
And because I believe that domains are crowled first, then subdomain (not sure...)
