Domain names are like pets. When you get one, you’re in it for the long haul. In the same way that it’s just not right to just dump off a cat or dog or hamster when you become disinterested, it’s not a good idea to leave your domain to fend for itself either.
I had a domain that I used for a project a couple years ago. I figured it would drift into obscurity when I let it expire since I didn’t really do much with it and traffic to it was fairly innocuous. I’m sad to say that some bad people have taken it over and now it’s an unsafe place in this Internet landscape. I can’t even link to it here.
So I’ve been thinking about getting another domain, but you know, it feels like a pretty big commitment. Maybe I’ll just get a plant.
