One of my pastimes is hacking around with website creation and publication. I usually build a new one for each of my new activities. Then I give them their own unique web address. Just because I can.<\/p>\n
The site creation is a form of entertainment for me playing with my computers.<\/p>\n
I have owned and supported well over 20 domains, all at the same time. Some were chosen to support my on-line business activities. Most are simply hobby-orientated. <\/span><\/p>\n Yeah, it\u2019s a little crazy as I could easily combine many of the hobby versions into one. <\/span><\/p>\n Well, in fact I have started doing just that. I don\u2019t really need 20 plus domain names to maintain. It\u2019s just fodder for the search engines. There is only one \u201ctop of the list\u201d and all others are also-ran. <\/span><\/p>\n I am not actually closing web sites, just changing some of the domain names into a sub-domain of one of my major domains. The web sites are still independent (and separate). They just share a common main domain name.<\/p>\n The fact is ALL my domains share exactly the same numeric I.P<\/strong><\/em> (URL) address. They are sorted to each website by their name,<\/strong> by my hosting service. <\/span><\/p>\n Some readers here may not understand all the above. It\u2019s a very complex system that works at the speed of light! <\/span><\/p>\n My major domains are:<\/p>\n kautzcraft (,com) , (.net) , (.org) , (.studio)<\/p>\n ramblindan (.com) , (.net) , (.org)<\/p>\n tedatum (.com) , (.net) , (.org)<\/p>\n W5EHS.com<\/p>\n I also have other active domains for my clients.<\/p>\n That is eleven domains in just that list. I have that many more personal domains that I will let expire when they come up for renewal. Making them sub-domains of one of the above. <\/span><\/p>\n I am doing that now by listing the original domain name as an \u201calias\u201d to the new sub-domain version. I will remove the alias when the name expires<\/p>\n Domain registration cost is about $12-$15 each per year. Not a lot of cost but it adds up when one has too many.<\/p>\n Sub-domains are no extra cost and take the form of: \u201cname.domain.com”. The \u201cname\u201d can be any text or numerals. No punctuation. No limit to the number of sub-domains. <\/span><\/p>\n Blog.kautzcraft.studio is a new subdomain of Kautzcraft.studio. For example, I could add: <\/span>toys.kautzcraft.studio (example only) and it would operate as a separate website.<\/p>\n So, in two to twelve months, half my present websites will be reached through sub-domain URL\u2019s. <\/span>I figure almost no-one will notice as they are extremely low traffic, reached through links from my more active sites\u2026 and I will be saving about half my registration budget! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my pastimes is hacking around with website creation and publication.
