While most people spent Sunday celebrating Easter, I spent this evening buying up a lot of domain names. Today, GoDaddy was having a sale for 99/cents a year on the .info top level domain.

I now own 9 domain names. Soon to be 8 because I’m letting an unused domain fade away.

While I was at it I also purchased a simple $4/mo CashParking plan. I know that this is generally viewed as evil, but, this seemed like a great place to park the domains while I write content for their respective websites.

Here are the domains that I purchased this evening. This should give you all a good hint of the sites that I’ll be working on in the coming months:

• DevPsych.info - I could put my current study of Developmental Psychology into some practical use with this website.
• PsychFocus.info - A more generalized psychology-focused informational website. I do not plan on stopping my study of psychology at devpsych, so this domain will allow me to move on to additional psychology content when the time is right.
• PoliticalMusings.info - A political blog to bring to light certain political goings ons, and for pointing out their possible ramifications on our lives.
• PaganFaiths.info - There is a lot of inaccurate info on the ‘net about various Pagan faiths. This could give good information about various faiths, and link to good sources of information.
• PaganLife.info - This could be a place to provide tips on what one can do in their day-to-day lives as a part of living their Pagan faiths. This would not be a “how to live your life” site, but rather a site with various “huh, why didn’t I think of that?” suggestions to help make life simpler or easier.
• Polytheistic.info - I have found it to be VERY frustrating trying to find information about deities. So many web pages want to limit their “information” to “call on so and so for matters of such and such”, and that’s it. ARGH! I could use this website to give good, academic information about various deities and/their pantheons. As much data as possible would be researched.

…or I could sell the ones that I don’t end up using. Each cost me a whole .99cents, so it’s not like I’m out much. ;^)

Then of course there’s StephsBlog.info for the new blog domain that I’ll be moving this blog to. I’m now somewhat regretting the domain name though. It was cheap, yes, but it’s not necessarily an information website; although you could say that a blog is information about the individual.

The stephsblog.info domain is currently - with any luck - becoming active at Blogger.com. It’ll be hosted free over there until and unless I decide that it’s worth a paid hosting account. If that falls through then perhaps I will use GoDaddy’s free blog offer.

So there’s that! It’s been quite an evening for Stepher’s and the interweb.
