Web Site to share links to family and friends.

[RodPad]

I have a single word domain.com for over 30 years.
I don't want to sell it yet, I have many emails that Is used still, not just mine.

I paid for a year of hosting, just never could get the change SS, CSS, SOS?.
My web sight was in Front Page, Stop laughing
The templates for a Web Site or a Blog, "I'm not selling anything"

These forums are the only ones I trust.

Anybody got some thoughts.

I don't understand.
I have a few domains. I don't do much webhosting anymore but a couple of the domains I've had for almost 20 years.

All of my web design was hard coded.

I’m not sure I understand what your concern is.

Is someone trying to sell your domain, even though it’s not for sale and you own it?

I code and develop websites, so if you could be a bit more specific about the problem you are trying to solve, then that would help us help you.

By the title, it sounds like you are looking for a website that allows you to share links with people - but I don’t quite understand the correlation of that title and the content in the post.

Hope we can help after we get a better explanation of your problem!

What were you planning on doing with it when you purchased it?

I can't answer for him but I can answer for me. I've had a single word domain for 25 years and I use it for my primary email address(s)

Beats having that old Juno email address

Beats having that old Juno email address

Yeah, for sure.

Funny backstory, though.
I was in a meeting in 1993 and everyone was offering up their Email addresses. I didn't even know what an email address was so I faked it and made up one based on what other people were saying.
I know I had an AOL account and someone mentioned their address of (name)@aol.com so I was confident I could get one so I had to pick something someone else probably wouldn't have had. So I picked my cats name which was "lilbit". So my Email address was [email protected].

Well, I added a second email address to my AOL account that was a nickname for my cat.
When I decided to do webhosting I decided to use that nickname of that cat in her memory. She had been hit by a car shortly before that.
So, That's how I ended up with that domain name. It's a single word that's a little less feminine than "lilbit".

I'm still here, just multiple distractions.
Juno

My dad add 26 to my age still thinks he needs to go to aol to get his aol emails.
"Yahoo, I don't have a yahoo email."

@Bad Santa, you stated hard coded.
Did you do the coding?
Is there any running now.

Thanks all,
The questions I have been getting from you guys, is making me think a lot.

My dad too! Old habits die hard.

I believe he was referring to the contrast with today, where many websites are designed using WYSIWYG editors like Squarespace or modern software development tools.

Yes, I did the coding myself. The closest I've come to using a WYSIWYG editor was a brief time with Dreamweaver. I was getting into CSS when I stopped making webpages.
Any of my coding running now? Not really. I have a couple placeholders but that's about it.
I used to have a "I Love Lucy" domain and still have a Marilyn Monroe one.

 

[RodPad]

Thanks
"WYSIWYG" No Clue.
I did coding in dBase, Clipper, Foxpro, for our own business. POS, Inventor, billing, Etc.

(Books, AP, Payroll, etc) = .F.

The part at the top looked like coding I was familiar with, when I was using Front Page.
If I went in the direction of that sight, that would be something I would like because you are just sharing links.

I have been bouncing around looking at blogs. You guy's are helping me.

I'm going browse some stuff.

The difference is just how I refer to them.
I have the domain but there's no webpage.
I don't want to share the domain name as, when I do, someone could use that information to find out personal information (if they were really so inclined).

Web addresses come in a lot of shapes and sizes.
.com .net .ws .biz .name
Etcetera.
A lot of people don't know you can have a dash in a web address too.

 

[RodPad]

Are you saying your "Marilyn Monroe one" or "Marilyn Monroe" ?
Is on Instagram or where is if I wanted to go to it.

You do pay like $60.00 per year to a company like network solutions for your domain?
I thought you where sharing a website or domain where I could look at the code.

What's Instagram?
I don't know what I'm paying now. When I got the domain it wasn't that much. Probably $12 per year.

My Marilyn Monroe website only has a front page with an image of her. As I said, it's a placeholder.

 

[RodPad]

Can you do a copy paste of the url here?
So I can see this front page?

I search for "Marilyn Monroe"
I get a link to "marilynmonroe.com" Nothing Else.
Well this is what I get.
