        Had some strange reactions on my domain name (some good, some bad). Strangest thing was some Germans thinking it was a pron site :-O. So picking the right name is indeed important. ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] "Hey, Benny, can I pour you a beer?" "A little early, isn't it, Jim?" "For a beer?" "No, for stupid questions."

            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"

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

                    that 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

                      Ahh too bad. Another beautiful conspiracy theory slaughtered by ugly facts.
