Shiny New Domain
I am now the proud owner of kimbrel.com! I’ve been watching the domain and found that the guy who had registered it (Dave Kimbrel - but, ironically, not my dad) had let it laps. So, I tried out GoDaddy’s “back order” option. For $18, they’d watch it and register it for me if it freed up. I got the email today - it was mine! From what I hear, this is not a great option for those spiffy domains that everyone wants, but for a family name, it worked like a charm!
Paying $18 sure beats the $399+ that was being asked for it a few years ago. When I first looked at the domain, some other company had snatched up all sorts of family surnames and were charging exorbitant prices for them. Thanks to Dave Kimbrel in California for ponying that up to get the domain, and then for letting it lapse! That saved me a ton of money!
Dave, if you find this, I’m not sure what you were going to do with it (it was parked in la-la land the whole time you had it), but let me know if you want to put something up. I’m not hurting for hard drive space if you want put anything up there! I can share. :)
