Interview With rjs_essex by DomainMagnate

DomainMagnate.com presents an interview with Rich from Quad Letter Domains

- Name, age, location?
Richard Shorten, 25, United Kingdom

- What are your top 3 domains?
I have lots of names spread across many different niches and lately have focussed heavily on quad letter domains so its difficult to single out specifics…

- Username on main domaining forums?
My username is rjs_essex and I frequently visit Namepros and am a moderator on AcornDomains.co.uk. Such a boring handle, my initials and county in the UK but I guess if I change it now no one would recognise me or know who I was!

- How long have you been into domaining and how did you get into it?
I’ve been in the domain business for about 4 years now. I started out buying a domain to host a website for a small business idea I had – starting up as an on call IT technician for the private sector. If I had had the time I would probably still be doing it but it never really took off. I started looking around the web for ideas and was also inspired by a family member who started out in domaining back in 2000. read more »
