Domain Shopping

To date, I have purhcased 5 domain names:
www.pedeliandbarkley.com (business)
www.citygatecm.com (church)
www.shekinahctc.com (alma mater)
www.eboybautista.com (personal)
www.ebzster.com (personal)

Finding the urge to get one was just an accident. A few months back I was selling C2 Green Tea to the employees of Sykes Asia, Inc for a good price. I wanted to get the prices lower so I decided to look at the Universal Robina website to inquire if it is possible. Instead, it brought me to the employees' webmail page of UR. To my surprise, it was powered by Google Apps.

Upon research, it turns out that Google gives out free mail, document, and calendar hosting to people. If you have a domain name, you can sign up with them. If you don't have one yet, you can buy directly from them and sign in automatically with Google Apps.

Jay said that $10.00 for a domain name is pretty expensive because he knows of cheaper alternatives but I didn't care. Google is Google and the free service, you cannot get that anywhere else (as far as I know).

So it started with my company. Then with my Church, Then with my school, then I bought two for myself. Jay said that it is better that way than eventually having someone else buy it ahead of you.

Will this end? I hope not... hehehe... as of this writing, I am already thinking of buying two more... Habang mura pa ang dolyar...
