Need ideas

I got a renewal notice for ChangeforWashington.org, which was a domain I intended to put up a few years ago in parallel with Democracy for Washington. Ah, that time thing.

Anyone have ideas on what I could do with this domain?

Ken Jacobsen followup

Renewed kenjacobsen.com at Network Solutions. $34.99 for 1 year!! I'm transferring that as soon as I can figure out how, that's just outrageous. But required, since that's where it was originally registered and it had expired under their control. Lessons learned.

Expired?!

Going through the hosting renewals included kenjacobsen.com. I was only handling the hosting of this website, not the domain, but it was a surprise to click on the link to check the site and have Network Solutions tell me that the domain had expired. I'm checking with Senator Jacobsen to see if he wants me to grab it before someone else can.

Renewals

Got a reminder from Directnic about some domains, and registered the following for another year:

wa-democrats.net, which is a redirect to wa-demchairs.org.

phyllisgkenney.com, hopefully someday Phyllis will send me something to post on her website.

caroleglickfeld.com, from a friend in the MDC.

Digging into the details

Damn, I've got a lot of domain names. I just went through on Buxfer and updated the Directnic transactions to reflect which domain each one was for. Now I need to do the same thing with my transactions at Sitelutions and the other services I use.

The goal is to be able to pull up reports at the end of the year for each client, and provide a record for each that I can send out.

Sitelutions Customer Service

Had a hosting account renewal come through for the following:

metrodems.org, kenjacobsen.com, workwomanspress.com, caroleglickfeld.com, seattlewebcrafters.com

This is my core account, and I noticed that instead of just 4 add-on domains for the above websites, I actually had 8. Couldn't find a way to delete them on Sitelutions.com, so I contacted their customer service.

Same day, they deleted the extra 4 add-ons.

I love Sitelutions. Their customer service is fantastic, and I have yet to be disappointed about anything. It's money well spent!

larryphillips.com

Moniker let me know that larryphillips.com was within 60 days of renewal, so I renewed the domain for an additional 2 years for 16.04. Not a bad price. I would transfer it, but this is half what DirectNIC charges, and I don't trust transfers as much as I used to.
