    It's been around for a number of years and is probably a marketeers idea of a catchy name!

            every time I go looking for a domain name, I start feeling like they're all taken and then I find one. ...but it's never been the first one.

                      When it comes to recursive website names, I'm pretty sure they're always going to be available.. www.wwwdotwwwdotcomdotcom.com www.wwwdotwwwdotwwwdotcomdotcomdotcom.com

                                My domain, BradyKelly.NET isn't just about the domain qualifier, it's what I do. I wonder how long MS will take to get upset over me registering a CC (sort of like an LLC) with that name.
