Domain registration is addicting...

I've registered 9 new domains in the last week.

I've reserved firstnamelastname.com for both my brother & sister in case they ever have a desire for them, plus the same for my dad + several for myself.

I also registered my sister's nickname (I started calling her this a few years ago, she liked it & has used it ever since) - www.ttugly.com (Normally spelled 'Ttugly, short for butt ugly) & I'll be setting up POP3 e-mail for her so she can have hername@ttugly.com.

Damn you namecheap & your $8.88 domains!

Just make sure you turn off the auto renewal. I went through a phase where I registered a bunch of domains but never did anything with them. The following year they were automatically renewed and I had an unexpected charge on my Visa.

I went through godaddy.com.

LOL, I just registered six new domains two days ago. That brings my total up around 35 or so but I think I'm still quite a few short of RossMAN. :p

Yep he used NameCheap.com and he's using the same web host about 60 other AT'ers are

dathorn.com

How good is Dathorn's control panel? I use iPowerWeb, and their control panel lets me do a lot of things I didn't expect to be able to do on my own.

They provide the best control panel IMHO.

WHM - webhosting manager where you can create/modify/delete UNLIMITED web hosting accounts (since you are a reseller)

cPanel - for each individual domain

RossMAN, have you used Cybrisk.com before. I just opened a reseller with them about a month ago. Very good price, unique dedicated IP for each account, WHM and cPanel, unlimited everything except space and bandwidth of course, good speed and no uptime problems so far.

Nope but I'll do some research on them. Seems like a decent deal.
