<p>Thanks a BUNCH Seth!! I did receive a "no information for that domain" response, although i noticed that i also got the same response for other sites that i know are not available, i must be doing something wrong. :/ And i was referring to just the domain name, although i obviously will need the hosting as well...And i guess i was assuming they were a seperate service. I'm tryin to learn all this and do it all on my own based on my own research, so i'm sooooooo very appreciative of your input. ty!<br>

Joseph- You're a genius. I was floored by your response. This is exactly what i needed to learn about. I just knew there had to be a sneaky side to all this, and thank you for teaching the term 'cybersquatter'. :) VERY VEEEEEEEEERY interesting. Kudos to you for finding the auction and snagging up ur site for $40! And buying some as gifts?. Seriously, you are awesome. I need to find those auctions now!<br>

Lots of love,<br>

<p>Thanks for your responses. I'm a happy girl. :)<br>

Matt- What i was looking for was a general response (without revealing a dollar amount), so as to get a general idea of what is common, what has been done, and/or what may be considered ridiculous as far as pricing and dollar amounts are concerned on the matter.<br />Of course this is a business decision, and i definitely do not plan on showing my work for my own gratification and rather for the sales of my service. If it was simply for my own gratification, i sure would not have spent a minute of my time searching for a place to discuss the issue, or considered spending a dollar for that matter; Also i'd know exactly where to go to do so for free.<br>

I realize that i may have explained myself in not so much of a business fashion. I am quick to admit that my business oriented thought process' are in the very early development stages. And i do mean EARLY. Which is precisely why i am here on this forum. Sadly, It is quite unfortunate for me that i seem to be ridiculously clueless to the business side of photography. Which again is why i am here, and why i will take these electronic conversations as much needed advice and priceless knowledge since i am also ready and willing to learn learn learn! :) So again, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. :)<br>

Ellis- I honestly have not checked if what you mentioned are taken or not, and i'm sure they most likely are not. I simply had not considered those exact domains, as i do not use my last name much at all, AND as i whole heartedly hope to one day have it changed to Palacios. ;) <br>

Plus, my heart is set on a specific domain already. <3<br>

Thanks again!</p>

<p>Been shopping for a domain name for a few years, as well as improving my photography for the past few years. And i'm ready!! The first domain name i decided i wanted when i first started looking is what ultimately i've decided i really want to own. I was not prepared though to see the dollar amount it would actually be. Now honestly, i DO believe ANY price is worth it, considering it is PERFECT, but i guess i'd just like to see what others who are established have to say on the matter. Like i said, i AM ready, just wanting some feedback, consultation & reassurance maybe. ;)<br>

Any response is appreciated. Thank you!!<br>
