Do you keep unused domains for future projects?

[NiceNIC.COM]

A lot of people register domains for projects that never get launched.

Some expire. Some keep getting renewed every year.

What makes an unused domain worth keeping?

Brand idea, niche, crypto or Web3 potential, old links, or just not wanting to lose it?

Brand idea and just not wanting to lose it.

Don't forget that some people go about registering unique domains, hoping that one day, people will be in need of it for their business, and they'll sell it much more higher than it was bought.

I have two domains that are unused and just waiting for the right moment, or I do not have the motivation to launch because I lack materials. Sometimes I use them for deployment testing of a script I intend to use for another project for which I have not yet purchased a domain.

Brand idea and niche are the most common too; honestly, it's hard to think of a domain name that is closely related to a niche, so you will park it and wait for the right moment to deploy, or you will sell it thinking that since it's a domain related to brands, someone will pay a good price for it.

Yeah basically those, you already have the answers...

You know;
The forum allows you to post your service's announcement thread [ANN] if it's somehow related to Bitcoin or Crypto.
If your website accepts Bitcoin, there's no issue posting it in Service Announcements board (link: Service Announcements).
If not, but Altcoins, then there's an Altcoin counterpart of it in Altcoins section (link: Service Announcements (Altcoins)).
Don't forget to note that it accepts a specific cryptocurrency.
Basically free advertisement and you can have a place to answer the concerns of your potential customers from Bitcointalk.

Hello NiceNIC.COM, I like the idea of this topic :-D
PS: Nice advertising idea but to be honest to gain trust and reputation you have a lot to go through in this community.

Edit: Nice to know you accept crypto. Keep it up.

Not so fast though, the .net domain of nicenic is redirecting to its .com domain, which is now the current domain of nicenic. When the .net domain/registrar is known for hosting scam sites and won't take them down easily without you reporting them to ICANN, even though they are pretty obvious phishing sites and obvious copy sites.

I wonder what their connection is.

For me, since I haven't used it, I wouldn't spend money for that. I have bought a domain, and there was a plan to launch a project. Due to some serious issues, our developers haven't completed the project, and it was never launched. For that, we also lost interest in the project; hence, we gave up the idea. There were similar projects launched a lot in the meantime, so we thought it didn't make sense to spend time and money again on that project. At the same time we haven't renewed the domain. I am not a domain reseller, and it doesn't make sense to keep renewing every year.

I have a few domains, but I am planning to use them for studying SEO and the Google rankings again. It's currently unused for now, but I bought them last January and March for a few cents, and for other domains, I get them for free because of promotion codes shared from another forum.
I use the one for testing purposes, and the one is planning to start an SEO-optimized blog to learn again about Google rankings.

I have one domain unused, but I want to keep it for a future project. I actually renewed it 3 times just to keep it because it's already ranked on Google with 24 blog posts. Even if it has old blog posts, I want to keep it, and maybe in the future I could add more because I use it for affiliates and AdSense.

Do you have a future plan for adding a promo code?
