Domains Expiring

I am letting several domains expire. Some I don’t want and some I don’t have time for. I am letting Smeerp.com go. I am going to let Astoundme.com go and I am thinking that BlogsEye.com and BlogsEyeView.com should go. One of them is the Cat Blog, but I have been putting cat pictures here, on this blog.

I am dropping ScienceFictional.com and it will go away at the end of the month. I tried several things with ScienceFictional, but it didn’t take off. I love the name, but I don’t have time for it.

AstoundingTales.com, AstoundingStories and AstoundingScienceFiction will expire this summer and I will not renew them. AstoundingTales was a great name for an ezine, but AstoundingStories and AstoundingScienceFiction had legal issues with the owners of the original magazine claiming that they had rights to the name. AstoundingTales or AstoundingStories would be a great names for a blog as long as you didn’t try to publish SF using the name.

This will save me about $70 a year. None of these sites makes me any money or ever did. I currently have 46 domains, which is way too many. I can’t get rid of the money makers, but the experimental sites and the Spec Fic sites can go without ever being missed.

If you want any of these domains I can transfer them to your registrar. You need a registrar account (like namebargain or godaddy). It usually doesn’ t cost anything except the first year’s registration which is under $10 most places.
