"textContent": "If you use a domain for something popular, it will get squatted if you don't renew it, by Tom MacWrightThis. “It me,” or whatever. When I first started doing computer stuff I bought charlesharries.com from a scuzzy site that wouldn’t let me transfer it out, so I let it lapse and bought the (much more aesthetic but also much more difficult to say aloud to another person) charlesharri.es.I’d intended to re-purchase the domain through a Reputable Domain Retailer but it got squatted immediately.In the end I did get it back once whoever was squatting it realised that I have nearly zero authority on the web.",
