Domain Name advice needed
-
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

I just registered your favorite names, as well as common deviations. Just contact me if when you made your choice, and I can offer you a great deal! I'd go for "thoemmi"

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

That may be right, but nevertheless I think everyone has the ambition to have a nice domain name. Anonymous wrote: Don't stress so much. Use ThomasFreudenberg.com, it will always remain relevant. You're right in this again. I will keep the name for the rest of my life (assumably), and it's quite unlikely that my name will change... Thanks for your advice. Regards Thomas

I just registered your favorite names, as well as common deviations. Just contact me if when you made your choice, and I can offer you a great deal! I'd go for "thoemmi"
"Vierteile den, der sie Hure schimpft mit einem türkischen Säbel."
sighist | Agile Programming | doxygenso i've been working on getting a new domain name, turtleworks.com. check it out with whois, it's available. take a few weeks to make sure i can use Turtle Works as a business name. finish that and on friday last week go to register turtleworks.com. domain name not available! someone registered that very morning, isn't that amazing timing! it turned out alright i registered turtlehand.com which better indicates the intent anyway.

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

sighist | Agile Programming | doxygenthat may be true, and shrewd, but not the case this time. a school in vermont obtained the domain. i contacted them directly to see what they were up to and received a reply. Josef Wainz Software Developer
