@nixCraft When I first got a domain name, I didn't do anything for some time, because I was working on a Java class library and a convention is to use a domain
name in reverse order as the start of a fully-qualified package name. Eventually I set up a web page. The reason for getting the domain name first is that it would be a major pain in the neck to change package names in some 900 source-code files + some documentation.

@nixCraft I've been paying for five domains for decades but I used to do a lot on two of them and I'm starting important (to me) stuff on two others this year.
So technically, the answer right now would be three.
