an inexpensive but significant purchase!
June 10th, 2008 -- Posted in blinkies & other cuteness, future / dreams / goals, pain / disability, work/career | 1 Comment »So I caved and bought .com # 6 today! 
I was going to wait, but for this one I just couldn’t. I’ll try to limit my spending on a few other domain names this month to maybe another 4 and I’ll wait on those, but this one I wanted to be sure to “snap up”. Finding out it was available was kind of like finding out I won a few bucks in the lotto or something, ya know?
The other ones I’ll be buying will just be for fun or building my portfolio or for friends, etc. but the one I bought today, I want to be *big*. Like, amazingly popular and wonderful and fabulous. Yes, I’m dreaming big, but mommies have gotta dream, right? 
I will keep the actual name a surprise until I have something to at least placemark that “spot” on the web.
But until then, here’s a brief history of my growing .com purchasing addiction…
2001 : after running The Young Mommies Help Site for 2 years, I moved it to it’s own domain name at YoungMommies.com
2003: I bought KStarSolutions.com to open up my business as a graphics design artist.
2005/2006?: I let KStarSolutions.com expire as I was moving on from my graphics design business onto WOHM endeavors.
2006: After having many problems with the current host of YM (Globat.com – don’t ever go with them!), I moved YM over to a new place – Dreamhost.com, which is where we still are. It was a little more expensive, but it’s been a good spot so far. I haven’t had any problems with them and the allow unlimited domain names to be covered by the same hosting package, so all I pay for new .coms is the registration.
June 2007: After the collection of blinkies being hosted on YM just kept growing and growing!!, I bought BlinkieMommies.com, which now hosts the whole kit-and-kaboodle of over 2,000 of those cute little things.
July 2007: I bought Krismom.com to have a site just for me.
December 2007: When my spinning Tshirts started selling on CafePress, I bought RainbowSpinning.com as a place to promote all the stores.
April 2008: After the car accident left me questionning whether or not I’d ever be back at a desk job again, I bought KStarDesign.com to give my graphics design business a new home and get that started back up again.
June 8, 2008: I renewed BlinkieMommies.com for another year.
June 10, 2008: I bought a brand new .com with very big and exciting plans for it!
So those are my 6 little webby “babies”, and I hope to add another 4 or so later this month. Stay tuned for more news!!!
