Mine is on automatic renewal.

To a debit card on an account I closed months ago

Check. Mate.

Fate will take it from here lol

Nooo, one day I'll have the time to build my writing utensil repair business.
And then I'll need the domain penisbroken.com

Wanted to start a blog about my weight loss journey. Lost the weight and never started the blog. Still paying for the domain 7 years later.

Only thing left to do is gain the weight back so I can try again!

More like "Dammit, my domain auto-remewed again. Oh well, it's only $12. I'll cancel next year." (It's been 5 years.)

[โ€“] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago

Oh this one cuts.

[โ€“] theComposer 11 points 2 months ago

Easy decision, I pay every time.

[โ€“] friendly_ghost 9 points 2 months ago

But if I don't renew what will become of sneakymonkeybutt.net

[โ€“] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago

I still have a number of domains that I registered aspirationally for projects I never really started.

[โ€“] henfredemars@infosec.pub 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

$12? I pay $20 for mine.

[โ€“] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

$20? I pay $30 for mine.

[โ€“] Ste41th@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait you guys pay?

[โ€“] 667@lemmy.radio 3 points 2 months ago

You guys have to pay? I get paid to register my domains.

[โ€“] rem26_art@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago

bought my domain in July... still havent finished my website...

[โ€“] dudinax@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Neither. If I'm not using the domain, I can pretend I still have it.

[โ€“] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

And then it becomes a pornsite.

[โ€“] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

my domain is my media server, so id rather not end my domain.

[โ€“] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I was tempted to get a domain tie it to a docker image on azure then host a private (just me) Lemmy /(m)/kbin with a few other fediverse (like friendica) on it but I'm just too broke at the moment

CatBagz.com is in this photograph and I don't like it.

What, no one really wants to purchase cat faced bags from a guy on the internet that doesn't like cats all that much and doesn't use bags all that much and can't social media and mostly just wants to stop being a fucking company shill but no I'm so fucking good at it that's my job and my life forever.

Fuck you, dreams. I'm taking cat bags to my fucking grave.

At least my red bubble stickers sell.

Pay $12, can't let some other jerk have my dream.

Truer words never spoken

[โ€“] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 2 months ago

On one hand I have my personal firstname-lastname-dot-com I'm still hosting for years. I'm not a webdev but WordPress is awfully bloated and everything else needs a touch of webdev skills.

So it's been at "coming soon I'm working on it welcome to sample example theme page" for years, but hey it's indexing well based on age alone!

The other is a fun clever one I route through cloudflare to access all my home server stuff via HTTPS over TailScale. Never have to expose any ports to the big scary world wide web. :p

[โ€“] ResoluteCatnap@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

i did recently go through and turn off auto renewal on a few. I still have several projects i never launched though that I'm holding out hope for... someday

[โ€“] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Just buy it for ten years. You're ultimately saving money and it'll give you more time to incubate your dream!
