What Do You Do With a Personal Domain?

Posted by timothy on from the you-hope-someone-rich-and-famous-buys-it-out dept.

bmerr71 writes "I bought my own domain name to use as a self-promotion tool. I use a subdomain, 'profile.mydomain.com', which I selectively put on my email signatures to link to my linkedin profile. I also loaded up Google Apps to use for email. But when you go directly to my domain name, there is nothing there. I didn't want GoDaddy getting ad revenue off my name (and it doesn't look very professional), so I killed the ad page, but it seems like I should be able to put something up on my main page. But, I am not interesting in blogging, I do not want too much personal information up there, and I do not want to spend a lot of money (none, if possible). Are there any free apps that I can load up on my domain to fill the blank space? What do non-bloggers do with their personal domains?"

    I say he should have a web interface for his MythTV machine, so the public can choose what he watches each night. :)

    I use a subdomain, 'profile.mydomain.com',

    BAD BAD BAD.

    mydomain.com is a privately owned domain. When demonstrating a domain, you use profile.example.com!

      I had no idea example.com was reserved. +e insightful.

      You're being irrational.
