They are so easy to buy, and fun too. I have big dreams of the sites they would make, and what I could do with them. I have 6 sites now and have just got a dedicated server that I can easily employ 100. I am probably a beginner compared to some, but the time I need is site building time, great ideas needed starting now with rss feeds and adsense, looking at new software, is it all really worth it without that million dollar name you happen to have stumbled on to? Not my luck, don't even get offers. All is new. Know the time thing for sure. Keeping my day business. Figures, internet based, yet pretty successful. It keeps me dreaming, what if I just hit that right name, that right site. My myspace creation. It is so fun buying names. The work each should take, now that is again another story. President of a mole hill. Just want a bigger mole hill. Is the big money going to trickle down? Someday??? I have a little over 200 domain names. They are so easy to buy, and fun too.

After more than a year, I have finally been able to comfortably manage almost 4,000 domains. A couple have slipped, but I've managed to retrieve them before being deleted. Having a designated account executive at a registrar really helps. Thanks for the tips. After more than a year, I have finally been able to comfortably manage almost 4,000 domains.

I have over 3000 domains and know the feeling. Really no way to avoid following all those things. I use a simple spreadsheet. Columns for domain names, registrar, expiration date, parked/pointing, category, asking price and notes. Then, I have different tabs/pages. One for names I don't care much about, one for good rev domains, one for names to be developed then other pages for specialty categories. I always transfer away from drop registrars. That adds a year and gets the domain in my complete control. Use a registrar that lets you bulk modify nameservers, contact info, forwarding, renewals etc. I have a wild west/godaddy reseller account that works great for me. Regarding unregistered names that I like but haven't registered yet, I have separate word documents by category/industry that I get current so if there is a news story (sign up for google news alerts) that interests me, I can jump into the appropriate word doc and run through the list and reg some.
