I just love Domain Names.

by Ahmad Mukoshy

Yes, I guess I do especially when I sit back spending time on domain availability search, trying to find some precious names.

I have a couple of domain name now, some hosted and others not. But I’ve not sold any to domain name brokers, I just keep them, I guess I love them. :|
