And my passions are Microcomputer, Software, Technology, Internet, Gadgets, Mobile Phones, and the list goes on.

If you haven’t already read my first post then I suggest you to read that to get a better insight about maheshonline.com and the idea behind the blog.

I acquired the domain maheshonline.com

Ever since I started Minterest I had plans to start a personal blog so as to express my ideas and views. I was searching for a domain name for this purpose and I searched 100s of domains and didn’t get one. Out of curiosity I have visited the domain maheshonline.com to see what in it but I find that the domain is for sale. The domain was parked by Sedo but the asking price was not mentioned so I guessed it would be US$500+ I simply checked the WhoIs records of the domain and expressed my interest in the domain. The domain was managed by DNForum and unexpectedly I got a response within minutes. The seller didn’t specified his asking price and instead he asked me to bid. I told him that as the domain is not keyword rich or a popular one its not worth over US$100. Hence he asked US$100 and I offered US$75 luckily he agreed :) and I initiated the payment immediately via PayPal. Wow it was a great deal and I acquired the domain name in one hour. My first ever acquisition. After acquiring the domain I was again surprised to see that the asking price of this domain was US$400 earlier (I discovered that using Google’s cache of this domain). The seller then removed that asking price from the parked page. It was a great deal for me.

Hello!!
Once a upon a time I read an article you wrote in Business World India about an entrepreneur who has a table space in some building and works from his car which is fitted with two+ cell phones, fax, internet etc. He is/was selling some product related to internet.

I was looking for that article and could not locate the same.

Just wondered if you have a copy of that!!!

Regards,
Ravi
