That wonderful feeling when you buy your own domain name

Post Reply New Topic

It was a scary step to take. So much responsibility to take on, so much money to spend. But I'm only going to live once and I don't want to die thinking, "What if I had my own name on the super information highway?"

So I've put up all the portraits I've been painting for months onto www.ashleyformby.com - please check it out. My ambition is to be rich and famous. I believe I have something unique to offer the world of art.

If you have any feedback, good or bad, I look forward to hearing from you.

'yellow rocker' is the best

I'll have to do some more one colour paintings. I had no idea there was a demand for them.

Don't see any paintings. All I see is a page of ads. Try taking the period off of the end of your domain name.

Nice work. I like Sad Girl.

Thanks for pointing it out. I've fixed it now.

Hello!

I don't see a lot of responsibility involved with registering a domain, other than telling them who and where you are, and renewing them on time... One thing I CAN tell you: If you let it lapse, you'll pay dearly to get it back, or have to wait years for the 'domain sharks' to lost interest in it. It's easier to renew it on time.

What these 'domain sharks' do violates the domain agreement. My question is: How do they get away with it, when you and I can't?

So much money to spend? That depends on who you go through. There may be some place(s) cheaper out there, but GoDaddy has about the best rates out there, if not the best, for domain registration.

Have A Great Day!

Cool. Does anyone here want a portrait by the way? If so please send me a message with a photo.



Thanks for sharing your knowledge. There are some cowboys out there people need to be wary of.
