MacShock.com Launched - After a long Quest for a MAC Domain!
Well, not a long quest in fact! Yesterday I was reading the Mac World magazine and suddenly an idea came to my mind! You got a few websites, forums and blogs related to various subjects, then why not a Mac Blog!
I logged on to Digital point forums and posted a thread asking for a Mac related domain. With in a few minutes I got a PM from another Indian webmaster Arjun about a domain for sale which is MacShock.com. Not a bad one but i replied him to wait for a few days so that I can look in to other offers as well. In the mean time I posted the same domain wanted post in many Domain forums, but the offers were not realistic!! I will need to spend a US $500 to get a decent one.
Thinking that ‘Domains are damn costly now!’, I moved to sedo for a quick search. The best one I found was MacToday.com. Hoo… Just for a try I registered an account at Sedo, verified it though SMS and made an offer for $60 ( it’s the minimum bid at sedo
) . After a few minutes I got a counter offer of $ 3500 for the lovely MacToday.com. OMG, I had money I would have bought it already.
So I went back to DP and replied Arjun saying that, okay, I’ll take the MacShock.com. He replied with details and I suggested a Yahoo messenger chat because the domain was registered at  DomainRightNow.com, which is a reseller of Godaddy. I hate godaddy and hence it’s resellers, but here there is no other options. So searched google a bit about this registrar and it seems they are cheap and at least not bad as registerfly! So created an account at DomainRightNow and in a few minutes Arjun pushed the domain. Payment is made through paypal and I’m now the happy owner of MacShock.com!
I haven’t decided what to actually do here. An apple news tech and software blog is the best bet!
