Would you register YourMName.com w/ poll

[MikeMike]

would you register your name .com aka MarkMBronco.com...

mine is available, and i believe on my future resumes I will be using my full name on it aka Mark M Bronco

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Sure. I own FirstnameLastname.com and use it for all sorts of stuff. It's less than a buck a month, well worth it.

Sure. I own FirstnameLastname.com and use it for all sorts of stuff.

FirstLast.com of mine is taken, else i would register it...

now to find hosting.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Anything that has your name, whatever combination, is worth having. I also own firstlast.com, and use it for my everyday mail. People think I'm fucking with them when I tell them my address is contact@firstlast.com

 

[Bateluer]

I've considered it. Would be great for a professional contact email address. First@Last.com would be nice atop a resume, I would think. More professional sounding than Joe@hotmail.com or SexyBaby098132@aol.com.

Registration and no frills hosting isn't terribly expensive these days.

 

[Mike Gayner]

last.com is never available unless you have a very weird surname. Mind you last.co.nz is available for me. I probably should buy it.....

 

[Squisher]

I have my first name initial and last name dot com.

 

[Bateluer]

last.com is never available unless you have a very weird surname.

<--- Yo.

In hindsight, I wonder if the first tech savvy John Smith could have registered JohnSmith.com and then later sold it for profit? Meh, he probably would have gotten sued by another John Smith who was more widely known. Or by Disney for violating their IP from the Pocahontas movie.

 

[sdifox]

I would rather not.

 

[Anubis]

yes i have firstlast.com

 

[KeithTalent]

I have no use for such a thing.

KT

 

[DivideBYZero]

I have firstlast.com

 

[lothar]

KT

This.

 

[alfa147x]

I own my lastname.com

 

[rivan]

last.com is never available unless you have a very weird surname.

I have a ridiculously rare surname; my last.com is still taken.

 

[pontifex]

I already did (firstlast.com) and then it expired and I had changed my email address since then and forgot to update the registrar's site so some squatter took it over and wants $1500 for me to buy it back.

 

[kyzen]

I have a ridiculously rare surname; my last.com is still taken.

same

Worst part is, it wasn't even being used for several years, and now only sort of is. I'm hoping they forget to renew... in 2014

I do have firstlast.com though.

 

[Train]

I own lastname.us (the .com and .net were taken)

all I use it for now is firstname@lastname.us

Was thinking of putting up a family photo sharing site but never got around to it

 

[AFurryReptile]

I have firstmlast.com

I've been trying to get firstlast.com, but the owner keeps renewing it even though the site has not been updated in YEARS...

 

[acheron]

I have firstlast.com, though I don't really use it. I have a pretty rare name combination, but I have run into a couple others with the same name online occasionally, so I decided I should grab it before someone else does. I should really set up email for it at least.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Mine was registered to a male porn star.

 

[edro]

I used to, but I let it expire because I never used it.
FirstLast@gmail.com is used when needed.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

I also have firstlast.com

Don't do much with it other than host some files. I haven't even configured the email inboxes, so I do not use any email@firstlast.com

I also have firstlast@gmail.com, which I think is professional enough. Moreso than @hotmail.com, which is an interesting issue of perception.

For the resumes I leave at my porn auditions, I use firstlast@hotmale.com :sneaky:

 

[Nik]

hmm... firstlast.com

not a bad idea...
