I thought it might be interesting for members to post the first domain they ever regged and when.

Ill kick it off, I can't actually post my first few regs in this section as they were adult by nature, but the first domain of general interest I registered was mistymountainhop.com on the 5 August 2000, at Directnic of all places (cheapest place in town as far as I knew) for USD$15.

I used it as a personal email for a while, then let it drop, then re-registered it again a few years later, then let it drop again.
Looks like someone snaffled it up again last year.

I was so into Led Zep :)

The first names I bought were on ebay - but the first one I can remember hand-regging was food-king.com a couple of years ago

Still got it - I've reg'd worse...

My first was for a web design business I ran at university. Subsequently reg'd a few others for business.
The first domain i registered for it's potential alone was textlinkbrokers.co.uk a couple of months ago.

My virgin reg :D QuadroFX.com

Intended to cybersquat nVidia, but turned out no one wanted to buy it on eBay. So I started using it for my own good. It's not for sale.

My first regg was back in '04 and it was HotWebSpot.com I was going to develope a social networking site for clubbers. The n I just decided to see if I could sell the name to get my money out and low and behold I stumbled into the domain industry as I started googling.

My first reg was acoolzone.com back in May of 99. When I look back, I really kick myself as there were so much better names back then. I still have the name as well.

My first domain was for a web host business I ran back then, wwwspace.com
That was 1997... In 1999 some crazy guy contacted me and wanted to buy the domain. So i sold it to him, for $3000...!! :rolleyes:
Mind you, I sold the domain only, not the business. Oh, yes, that was definitely before the dot com collapse... :cool:
Now I see that whois says the domain is from 2002, so that crazy guy must have let it drop later. :lol:
