    How much would you pay for your real name .com?

    What's the limit you'd pay if someone has your real name, but has it parked but also willing to sell? Ex: JohnDoe.com. Is $70 too much? I'm speaking for .com in particular.

          After seeing this I got curious and typed in my last name .com. Was a site selling email accounts for $35 per year.

            Wait, are you saying you paid $500 to get your surname .com or that would be the maximum you'd pay if it were available?

                    I bought my name when I was 14. Then I let it expire. Three years later I went to purchase it again, thankfully nobody had it. Though realistically I would pay quite a bit for my name, it's somewhat unique though and I only know of one other person with it.

                          I already own my name. Plus I own my surname and my middle name - but NOT my first name DAMMIT!



                          You be me for awhile... And I'll just get drunk and not give a shit.

                          Paul Westerberg should just repeatedly stick a knife in hs face. This fucking heroin addict walks on a drum kit in this video - yet he moans about having too many guitars on one of the greastest American Rock and Roll albums of all time. If he wasn't so fucking wasted and incoherent, maybe his input woud have been deemed relevant. What a sell-out pussy failure. He could have been relevant. Goop! Echo and STUFF! If he was sober he could have controlled all that - but he wasn't, and all we are left with is the only great album he ever released.

                          I kick him for being so dull.

                                    I have owned my name since 1998. I bought it originally because over the course of a few years I changed ISP's a few times and was sick of constantly changing my email address so I just got my name and used it as my email address. Since I have used it for a few other things. I have book I have written that hopefully will be out soon. I have an ebook that I will be selling soon and another writing project coming out this fall so I will be using it to promote and sell those as well.

                                      I was excited when I bought it, paid for 10 years. Then let it expire.

                                        I own my firstlastname.com but someone else owns my surname and it's not even being used... Not even a widely known name, last I saw a site on it, it was owned by some broadcasting company, now it's owned by what looks like some kid, I thought about offering money for it, but it's not that important to me.

                                          I registered my name, my wife's name, and our family surname back around 1995, and more recently, registered my son's name when he was born, prepaying that one for 10 years.

                                          Having your own name, and family names, registered has its benefits.

                                            Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                            think about that

                                                Blasphemy! I'm a huge Westerberg fan. The Replacements were fucking awesome and his solo stuff's pretty damn good, too.

                                                    I don't own it but every extension I would like is taken, it's a vanity thing. The name isn't even that popular. The .com is back ordered for the next 10 years.

                                                    I could take surname.co or some shit I guess

                                                    When my daughter was born a few years back I reg'd her first name, thankfully it's fairly unique.

                                                        I'd only get my surname for email.

                                                        [email protected]

                                                        The URL is actually already registered, and they want $35 a year to do it.

                                                        Yeah, no thanks.

                                                          I have an unusual name so I was able to buy the perfect domain: myfirstname.com

                                                          The good thing is that my first name has only 7 characters :-)

                                                          If the domain was taken I would pay a premium for it. Let's say 1k or more.

                                                                            Having your own name, and family names, registered has its benefits.
                                                                            What would you say are the benefits?

                                                                            Here's why I searched my own name. If I plan on getting serious about web development (I'm studying Ruby at the moment), it'd be good to have my own name as the domain. It seems a lot of well known web developers use their own name as their domain. Sometimes it's their whole name, other times just first or last. So it was something I looked into.

                                                                                    Irrespective of thr supossed power status that comes with [email protected] (that for me has long disappeared), for me it's now far important to be in full control of spam management and email privacy than anything else.

                                                                                    Also, I will never make any use of doe.com as a web address but that isn't to say my son, daughter, randsn/daughter, nephew, niece etc will not.... There's already a big multinational that wants my doe.com domain, but they will never get it. In any case doe.com is in the will and dealt with!
