In my name it was actually iseka.co.uk in 2000

But wait until you see this bad boy ;)

dtm.middlehu.co.uk (Sub domain of the domain I'm buying back from Trifega at the moment)

At archive.org:
DTM'S Homepage
 
My first real domain was when Deleted.co.uk was around (or i think that was the domain)

I saw 123ABC.co.uk and thought wow that's mine reg'd it with 123-reg and the rest is history.

And many £xxxx later :(

But my very first one was when I set an Online Jokeshop up and we bought JokeShopFun.com did really well but my mate never renewed it and again the rest is history. :rolleyes:
 
First domains was my surname in .org.uk with Freenetnames back in about 2001/2. Used it as an email address, but didn't know too much about websites and never developed it. Never renewed it! :( D'oh!
 
FECK_ORG in 1998 - then went elsewhere instead of buying cheap domains and when I came back all the good ones where gone... :(
 
my 1st domain was monaghan.co.uk, this was before Nominet and didn't have a web site (other than simple holding page) on it for many years. Still in use today.
 
My first was railway-sleepers.com back in 2000, still use it today as the name of one of my businesses..

unlock-my-mobile.co.uk (oh the shame of the hyphens).

Quickly followed by mobileunlocked.co.uk (stupidly didn't buy the .com and hey presto someone else did - rookie mistake :( )
 
mine was w e m b l y s t a d i u m . c o . u k

Reg'd in Feb 2004 makes just over £100 per year parked, so not a bad investment.
 
First was roberttaylor co uk when I was 15

If I recall correctly my parents thought I was nuts, opinions have since changed! :)
 
My first was igoldrush.com. Registered it in 1996, sold it (and the site) in 2000.
 
I was registering domain names to host the music I used to make around the age of 15. I remember having to beg my dad all day to let me buy my domain and hosting using his credit card. My parents didnt have a clue about the internet.

Annoying thing is it never even struck me that there was a market in domain names. I was to busy thinking I was going to be the next Fat Boy Slim :D
 
sadly my 1st was http://webmaster-contacts. com yep I`m another fool with hyphens, I built a pretty simple (crap) site with office live an left it to rot and gather dust....
maybe one day it`ll achieve 200 hits....
 
i cannot for the life of me remember my first domain but i did leave this all behind and open my garage,when i got back into it i registered autozaar.com which was awful,it supposed to be a car forum for the u.k,but i mispelt "zaar" and i used "auto" which is more american than u.k,so i learnt absolutely zilch the first time round. dohhh

My first was ricky gervais .couk

I promised myself that I would never spend any money on domains that was not generated from that first purchase and 8 years later, its good so far..
 
diversification.co.uk was my first investment buy..

I bought one for our farming business in 2001 but its only worth anything to us ..
 
Promise no laughing!

My first domain was hairybabes.info :)

Got it for free back in 2004 during the giveaway of .infos and made some cash promoting adult "niche" sites :)

Still got it today as it has sentimental value LOL
