A few years back, I had this craze of grabbing and registering domain names and just only using a couple of them for my websites. The others, naturally ended up loosing as I never took any interest to renew them on it’s annual expiry. Even the ones that I used for my blog and the other for the industry forum site, too ended up getting cancelled because I had stopped blogging and also disbanded the forum due to flooded with spam.
In the recent past, my interest in domains and wanting for on-line presence has somewhat been growing and as a result, I started this blog. Over the last few days, I’ve also been thinking grabbing another couple of domains and put them to good use. In the first place, I was toying with the idea of starting another blog or even back to a community forum for the industry I’m in. With that in mind, I wanted to grab a {dot} aero domain - Aviation industry based top level domain. However, to register {dot} aero domain isn’t as simple as registering any other domains and there are some steps to follow. The most important is to obtain an aero ID by submitting an application on-line and as long as you can provide proof that you’re in the Aviation field, it really is a painless process. After you submit the application on-line to , SITA .AERO Office ,you will have to wait for their approval and to send you unique AeroID and Password to you. I got mine just less than in ten minutes of submission, which I thought very good. They also sent me a list of Registrars, where I could register my preferred name in the {dot} aero domain. I still haven’t been able to make up my mind of a suitable name for registration and am still thinking whether I should just go and register my name or should I come up with another industry related common name. Now that I have my AeroID, I don’t think I should really rush; but give some more thought and grab a suitable domain for registration. On the other hand I also noticed, {dot} aero domains are not cheap. A single year registration costs you $80 and I’m not too sure I could afford that right now. Will wait & see…
