It's cute to see commenters answering the question while the article is also doing that work.
Anyway, honest question: who the hell is "domainregistry.com"? They claim they've been "accredited since 1996". I've never, ever heard of them, and I used to work for InterNIC.
Their so-called founder, "Larry Erlich", is not notable either. Neither of these have Wikipedia entries. Does anyone know who they are, or where they came from?

buy a domain.
only register i.e form an LTD | LLC when the company can generate predictable revenue for at least 2 months.
nothing is a nightmare - dealing with issues for an LLC that can't pay its own bills and being forced to file forms every year for something that's not making money
I have made that mistake twice before.
now I will only register an LLC if I can make at least $20k/month

That can be fairly risky depending on the type of business though, because an LLC gives you liability protection. Your strategy is probably fine for a B2C SAAS software business since there isn't much potential for liability there, but it would be really risky for any sort of business that operates in the "physical" world.

Register and reserve the domain first.
You can hold it as yourself for as long as you need. No harm to having domains except a few dollars of annual cost.
It’s easy for another person to register it at any time, so grab it first.
The scenario of registering a company only to find that someone else bought the domain and you now need to pay them a chunk of money to get started is not where you want to be.

Apparently cybersquatter bots can monitor brand new company registrations and scalp domain names for resale to the same company.
