    I own 176 domain names.

    While that sounds like a lot, I have recently let about 250+ domains expire so the number was much larger than that at one time.

    Why so many domains, Shawn?

    1. I buy the .com, .net and .org each time I get one.
    2. I have a lot of ideas for projects that I never make happen.
    3. I buy mispelled domains for redirects.
    4. I am not subdomain happy, lol.
    5. My name is Shawn and I buy a lot of domains!

    I used to own near a thousand domain names, mostly used to profit from domain parking when this was really profitable, but eventually what I was making could not pay the renewal an I couldn't sell them either for the premium domain price it was supposed they should be sold.

    So that, the number of domains in my portfolio began to drop until the present, when I have left about 10 domains, and still planning to let a few more expire because of what you say, focus on domains development.

    With a large number of domains it's very hard doing this when working solo.

    I own about twenty domain at a guess, and I use all of them. I always use a discount code to get a domain for a cheap price $1.99 for the first year, this is something I'm happy to spend on testing the waters on a project.

    Right now I only own three domains. This year I let expire about 4 domains and maybe I'll let expire two more because I'm not really using them.

    On the other hand I'm planning on getting two more domains for a couple of projects I'm working on.
