The How. The What. The Why.
Why did I buy this website?
Quite frankly, I just found it a rather hilarious thing to do. I was looking to build a website of my own just for the kicks - and being too middle class to afford WordPress - decided to build it from the ground up. (Technically speaking I’ve only leased this from a registrar but for the benefit of the masses let’s stick to referring to “leasing the domain” as “buying the website” shall we ?)
I was looking at possible domains to buy (swapnil.com was taken and ridiculous.in was incredibly expensive) when , surprise - surprise, I saw that rvce.in was up for grabs.
For the Uninitiated
RVCE is a popular engineering college in Bangalore. Pretty hard to get in as a student, but quite easy to get their domain as yours truly has demonstrated. They really should have locked this down a long time ago.
