Hi all, I need your advice. I'm running a web server at home, but am going to move it to a hosting service. First because I've only 128kbit/s upstream, and secondly I'd like to have a decent domain name instead of this thoemmi.dyndns.org[^]. I've already subscribed at WebHost4Life[^] some days ago. However, I still don't know which domain name to choose. My first idea was to use my nickname (which is Thoemmi), but I think that it may be difficult to pronounce for non-German. My second thought was to just use my full name (i.e. www.ThomasFreudenberg.com), but my girl-friend would like to put some stuff on the server too, and we're not married ;) So I'm still looking for a nice name. What do you think of www.CodePotato.com, since I'm spending most of my spare-time programming? Or www.IpsoCodo.net? Or www.BlueCloud.com? However, I even don't know whether to use .com or .net. :confused: You see, I'm really confused. Any advice is welcome. :sigh: Regards Thomas

Don't advertise on a public board which domains you are thinking about getting. I have already registered them all and will now sell them to you for $5000 a pop. ;) 2. What is the site about? Just a personal space for adhoc stuff? Then I think ThomasFreudenberg.com is best. Is your girlfriend paying for the hosting? Surely she won't be put out by having ThomasFreudenberg.com/Girlfriend42/mystuff.html ? 3. Being clever with domain names rarely pays off. 4. Don't stress so much. Use ThomasFreudenberg.com, it will always remain relevant. IpsoFactoCodoNetorComWoeIsMe.com you may get sick of when you are 40 years old.

Try to make the name as short as possible. Joe Public generally think all names are .com or something local. Stuff like .net and .org confuse a lot of people. The longer a name is the more likely spelling mistakes will be. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Some time ago there were rumors that registrars check their query logs, and "reserve" them for domain trade.
