Can you guess the winning option for our poll?
NONE. Yes, 26% of the voters said that they don’t own a domain name at all. So, it looks like a big amount of JMMO readers and visitors are domain-less. I wonder why?
22% of the voters said that they have 2-5 domain names. 18% said they just have one. 15% of the voters said they have 6 – 10 domain names.
And, on the other side of the spectrum, there are a 14% with 16+ domain names. 6% have 11-15 domain names.
I wonder what most people do with their domains? Also, what’s stopping folks from buying their own domains?
By the way, this was based on 228 votes. New poll will be up shortly!

I think many don’t know yet the value of owning domain names. Many still rely on using free blog/site hosts like geocities, WordPress.com, etc.
More than 25+ Domain Names
Great to have you back, Shai! This is an interesting poll, and interesting and thought-provoking results. It is really important, if you plan to make money online, to have a domain name.
I have about 200 domain names but most are domain names to support my primary domain name – LovePoetry.com.
Everyone should have a strategy like – buy only .us names or .biz or some set of extensions. The .com is obvious but expensive. Next would be a niche – like Geo names – LasVegasShopping.biz; or product areas – SkiCountrySupplies.us. Mine was mostly poetry. You don’t have to have a way to use the domain name immediately. I sat on LovePoetry.com for about a year before I made a web site out of it. BUT I owned it. That is important – Buy now, figure out what to do with it later. You have a year in which to decide what to do with it. If you find out that you don’t want it – just don’t renew it. That is simple.
