Domain Name: PHAYSIS.COM
Creation Date: 2000-04-14T14:49:59ZAlways amazed at my tenacity to keep this domain name, now for 25 years. At a quarter century, and almost half my life, it’s become part of my identity. May as well get the logo tattooed on my arm.
I’m certain that if I ever let this domain go, it’ll be snatched up by porn SEO bots within hours. Can’t let them have all the fun.
Thanks for coming around.
Congrats on the milestone. It is definitely a weird thing. You’d think they could just let us own the domains at some point.
They gotta extract something just to host a line in a database. But at least we don’t have to pay Network Solutions/InterNIC $72 every two years. That was a lot of money for hungry kid like me. Now? $17/year feels like a lot less than $17/yr felt in 2000.
