    Default What was your first site?

    Following on from the numbers of site we have, how about our first sites? my first website was Gamesareus - Computer and Video Games , it cost about £200 ($400) to register it, thosed days domain name registration were very expensive, I think it was 1998.

    I don't need the domain any more but I kep it renewed; you never forget your first love


    This days, it cost me about £3.50 to register a .com and £2.5 to register a .co.uk

    Blimey, I did no know you knew me that well OWG, yes, gamesareus actually predates Velnet by a few months I think before I was able to source the free hosting that Velnet provided then in partnership with a company called Telinco, which was eventually bought by World Online, which was they bought by Tiscali, then another bloody company called 36K or some daft name who then ****ed up the system

    Here is a bit of notoriety for you then Temi. I built my first commercial website (for someone other than myself) and hosted it on Velnet. It was a Uk limousine website, and it went in at number 1 on Altavista etc. for the term 'stretch limousines' That was when I SERIOUSLY got into SEO and working out how the Search Engine Algorithms worked.

    Small world isn't it

    My first website was Keresõmarketing | Keresõoptimalizálás. When I launched it contained a lot shameful seo technique, and had a laughable design. It was a year ago, now it's a little better

    Nice to know you have "grown up" since then Bagi, my first site was designed using FrongPage I was very proud of it then but now when I see it I feel embarrased
