One thing though. If you register a domain name and later decide to give
it up because you don't want or need it, be prepared to spend the next
several years receiving emails from every company that has ever
bought/sold domain names contacting you to sell you the domain name you
just gave up.
when you register a domain, the contact info on the registration is a public
record can be used to spam you; in my experience it's worse before you
release a domain than after; i can distinguish the source of spam because my
registrations have unique email addresses
however, in the last several years most good registrars have offered "domain
privacy", which proxies your contact info so that your actual email address
(and physical address) aren't available, e.g.:
<https://domainwho.is/paper-ape.com>
when you release a domain, i understand the proxy goes away; however in the
time before domain privacy, my registration info was public, and years later
i still get spam to some of those addresses
