I pay a fee once a year for the domain renewal, email hosting and server space. It's not that much. He's a friend and I have known him for 20 years.
My site will be active one day when I start my business up. I was going to start a mail order business up back in 1991, had contacts all over the world and lots of information on mail order, but then we got busy at my family company and I put everything on the back burner.
In early 1995 things really started to slow down with the family business, so I started on my mail order business again, but then I thought marketing a catalog with CD-ROM. That was all the rage back then, but then I got an Internet account in early 1994 and ditched my CompuServe and BBS accounts.
Then I seen I could market my products over the Internet, at a very low cost than catalog or CD-ROM, so I started to learn HTML, but then in late 1995 our family business started to get really busy again and I had to put my plans on the back burner once again.
In mid 2009 we closed our family business after 25 years.
So now my future plans are to start a business, with that domain name, at some point in the future.
So if I were you go for it, get a domain, and some server space for posting stuff and your own personal POP email address. You won't regret it. |
