GoDaddy sent me a stack of domain notices. One of them was for chrisfischer.info.
Status: locked.
The lock added another authorization step before the name could be transferred. It did not build a site or set up email. It just made the domain harder to move by mistake or without permission.
This is the earliest record I have found of owning a domain built around my name. I was managing other names through Praxis, but those projects stay private until I can confirm the ownership and context.
I do not know what I put on chrisfischer.info, if anything. It could have been a placeholder, an email plan, or a site that never got past the domain account. A registrar notice does not prove there was a finished website.
It proves the smaller thing. By June 2, 2006, I had bought the name and locked it.
Several notices arrived together, so I was clearly going through more than one domain in the account. That fit the normal administrative work around Praxis: registrations, hosting, mail, renewals, and the settings that were easy to forget until something expired.
The registrar gave me fifteen days to report a fraudulent or mistaken change. No dispute appears in the messages. The lock stayed as the requested status.
The notice gives me the first clean marker. I wanted a place on the web under my own name before I had a finished site to put there. Buying the domain was the easy part. The registrar handled that in a few clicks.
What came next is missing. There is no launch message, site backup, or hosting setup attached to the notice. For now I had the name, the account, and the lock turned on.
