    Mine was grabbed by some domain parking company for many years. I just happened to check today and it was available! Yummy.

    I got mine a while back from 1and1.

    It's ok I suppose, but there is better places to buy domains from, such as Yahoo.

    What domain did you purchase?

    I registered myname.com about 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure there are only a few people in the world with my name so I didn't have much competition and I guess I was the first one to make the move! :)

    I got a shortened version of my name - timw.com, as opposed to my full name timothywong.com (which is taken).

    timw.com was taken for years before i got it!

    my name is too unique, so it would be safe unless i made it on newspaper. Anyway, no one refer me by my real name

    I've got the .co.uk and the .eu versions. The .com was for sale a few years ago but the guy wanted $500 for it which I didn't have at the time. Now it's gone into the big corporate world.
    :rolleyes:

    At the time(1999) i wanted to register sumit.com since it was already registered i contacted the Admin in whois, that guy asked $575 from me, it was big money for me at that point and i couldn't afford it.

    Few years later i registered sumitbahl.com instead.

    At that point is registered 123microsoft.com as well, few days later i got a letter from Microsoft, they said surrender the domain to them or be ready for the legal action, i gave them the domain. I just checked, its available again. register it, if you wanna play with Bill. ;) :)
