How I owned Uniregistry.com for a minute.
A very bizarre thing occurred to me at exactly 4:20am Eastern, on Wednesday – or was it Thursday, October 1st. I can’t remember. Too much beer.
I was discovering the secret options of Uniregistry domain registrar, and out of feeling a bit adventurous I typed in “Uniregistry.com” and clicked the search button.
To my astonishment, Uniregistry.com was available. What were the odds?
After I added this precious domain to my cart (which could not have possibly happened if Uniregistry.com were not available) I prayed that this was actually an error.
None of that happened.
Instead, I got a beautifully crafted invoice from Uniregistry, signed by Frank Schilling, which said that the domain Uniregistry.com had been registered on my behalf.
My PayPal was charged and I was ready to go with my new domain!
I received another email shortly, welcoming me to the Uniregistry family, the domain registrar that has broken the mold among domain registrars. And I was ready to build my brand new domain, Uniregistry.com.
I was so excited that I owned Frank’s very own domain name!
But minutes – or was it seconds, I don’t remember – later, I received another notice from Uniregistry and Michael Ward. He claimed that there was a mistake and a glitch that led to me owning Uniregistry.com.
I was upset. I was in denial. I was angry to the core.
I did not believe Michael, what does he know about domain names anyhow?
All I wanted was to own Uniregistry.com for a minute.
So I started typing this article, in hope that the Times of India and other such prestigious publications would catch it and publish it.
Miracles do happen, after all, and pigs can fly.
I will let you know how it goes. Deep in my mind, and in my heart, I owned Uniregistry.com …..
