Ask HN: What did you pay for firstnamelastname.com

I'd probably pay up to $500 but really it's all up to you.

I registered firstnamelastname.com a few years ago which was fortunite as there a few of my name about. Someone later registered my local county domain and used to putting heavy religious stuff on it so I regret not buying that one too now as occasionally people confuse .com and the country domain.

I originally tried to find lastname.com, but that was already taken. So I got lastname.me. Now my email is firstname@lastname.me. Later on I registered firstnamelastname.com and fistnamelastname.me just to be safe.

The .me domains are more expensive, but I really like them for use as a personal domain. I pay $75/y for three domains.

Just make up a middle initial and put it on your resume :)

It depends on how common your name + lastname is. I have a very common first name + last name among Indians and plenty at silicon valley but I got mine few years back at my registrar for $13 per year.

$1000

:(

Took me almost 10 years to get. Finally used network solutions certified offer service instead of paying the 10k and 5k previously quoted.
