Well:
richard.com — link-farm/parked domain
flynn.com — ‘Flynn Systems Corp.: Automatic Test Generation’

I own richardflynn.net; it’s my own site. richardflynn.com is a parked domain. I got in touch with the company that’s squatting there 13 months ago and was quoted $1488 USD. I didn’t respond; since then I’ve received a number of offers from the company in question to buy it for 15% off. The best ‘deal’ they could offer me was for 20% off, but $1190 USD is still far too steep for the likes of me just to have another domain name…

firstname.com - leads to a page with a photo of some asian guy sticking his tongue out...... :confused:

lastname.com - netidentity parking page. b*st*rds. :p

oh, and firstnamelastname.com is unregged - or was until about 5 mins ago ;)

tersono.com - I own this one, along with several others - it's just a parking page, though, as I use tersonodesign.com as my main URL at present. If I ever leave my current employment, though, I'll be using it as a business website =]

firstname.com - A generic parking page. Funny, I've never looked at this before.


lastname.com - It forwards to my LinkedIn page. Ditto .org. I missed .net and don't want to pay the $500 they are asking...
firstnamelastname.com - Also forwards to my LinkedIn page.
myusername.com - Just a page to hold the space for me until I figure out how I want to market it. Also .net and .org, with and without hyphens.

Well that was interesting DoctorQ.

First Name.com: Get a loan, buy land, etc, (ie; spend money) also it was all in Japanese, so I think your ip address plays a part of it and I'm in Japan.
Last Name.com: business (architects)
Eastend.com: parked domain that is an ip address.

First Name.net: No server
Last Name.net: Fencing Club
Eastend.net: Get a loan, buy land, etc, (ie; spend money) also it was all in Japanese again, so I think your ip address plays a part of it as I said before.

First Name.org: No server
Last Name.org: LITOPIA WRITERS' COLONY!, whatever that is?
Eastend.org: Travel site some in Japanese, most in English, it's getting Hotels, cheap flights, travel Insurance, and Travel.
