Quick bit of advice. I have a lightly trafficed website where I registered Com, Net and Org. I'm thinking this is overkill, and I should save the money, just renew com, and let whoever wants it have .org and .net. Any serious downside to this?

I think it looks professional to have all three, Typo. I do, for both my business and my personal domains, and the personal one is so lightly trafficked as to be unused. I basically have it for the email addresses. Generally registration by itself is cheap enough to make it worthwhile, I feel.

Actually, now that I think about it, I actually own 15 domains, only one of which sees regular traffic.

eep! I'm about to buy my first one!

Is that (if you don't mind my asking) like $1500 a year?

I'd guess more like 150 to 300 per year.

Oh wow, it's way cheaper than I thought.

Yeah, getting the domain isn't that expensive, it's the hosting that costs. Having the .net, .biz, etc. just makes sure that other businesses aren't confused with yours.

Yeah, there are always sales on. And since the majority of them aren't hosted, just forwarded, there's no ongoing monthly expense, just the annual domain registrar fees.
Okay, I checked. It's 12 (I gave up one set), for which I pay $120/year. Then I have a couple of hushmail accounts strung off of one of those, for $48/year or so. And two active hosting accounts, both of which are donated for the non-profit, but which used to be about $9 a month.
So total over the course of the year it was around $276.
