- Domaining.in has moved to a new server..After lots of trouble with extremely high server loads on my previous dedicated server and Hostgator technical support not being able to resolve the issue after several weeks of trying (and failing) I decided to move to a new host.

Domaining and me..
Posted by Simon in Domaining
My love affair with domaining started by accident in 2006 when I discovered the phenomenon, (probably through NamePros) and jumped in at the deep end with little or no research (not recommended) and I went out and registered 30+ domains. I was lucky and managed to sell one of them on Sedo.com for $300 or so within a couple of weeks thus recouping my initial outlay and making a reasonable profit.
I then got the domaining bug and went on a buying spree, my judgement at this time were pretty poor in retrospect and it took me a while to sell some of these names on for near what I paid whilst others I failed to see the value in I sold on too cheaply as I was out to make a quick profit.. After spending a lot of time learning though trial and error and from some truly knowledgeable people I now do reasonably well buying and selling domain names and hope to make the odd post here to share some tips with anyone else that’s interested in getting into this business..
