Do you guys still remember the 1st domain name you register?
Refer to one of my old blog post, my 1st domain name back in Apr 2007. I register my ever 1st domain name at Name Cheap. around January 2007. LittlePenang.com
Pior to registering this domain, I am learning how to blog at blogger.com, my URL was https://littlepenang.blogspot.com; I am making a couple of dollars from Google Adsense and I decided to get a .com to start a professional website.
Nothing special until approximately 9 years later, in January 2016, I forget to renew my domain name, hence it drops.
The domain name had been pickup by several players (I have no idea who), and they are trying to resell this domain in higher price.
A few times I spot it expired date and plan to pick it up again, unfortunately every time had no luck, the owner had renewed it until recently I search again and I realize that the domain is no longer own by anyone, no record from the Whois Lookup.

If you guys wonder how I can still remember when I register and when the domain name is drop?
i am checking my domain whois history via Domain History Checker. Is a website portal that allow you to check domain history, it shows what your previous name server added and when the domain been drop.
As you can see from above history, the domain name has been register by someone since 2005, I am officially the 2nd owner when I register in 2007.
In between, there is a 3rd owner and 4th owner until July 2022. The domain has dropped again, and no one registers it, hence I pick it up again now.
Now I am officially the 5th owner.
