Choosing a domain name (UPDATE: Neck and Neck!)
-
[Update: Wow! It is neck and neck at the moment. Not just Paul-Watson vying with PaulMWatson but PMWatson (which was in the lead for awhile). You guys always surprise me.] I am getting fed up with having multiple domains for email and websites etc. I want to choose something professional but also personal that I can use for a website and for email. That rules out clever and fun domains which quickly pale. The domain needs to be something that ten years from now I can still use and not feel the need to have something different. It would be easy if PaulWatson.com was not taken, but it is and that blasted Scandinavian is very reliable in re-registering it each year. So how do you choose a personal domain name? What elements and situations do you think of when deciding? Along those lines, if you don't mind: Vote. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python." Crikey! ain't life grand?
Paul I haven't read alll of the posts in this thread (no time) but www.paul-watson.com is available.... I personally find hyphenated names easier to look at...

Yeah, that was my top, top choice. Could also then hand out emails for my family (and kids, one day.) I am keeping an eye on the domain, maybe I will get it some day. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."

I did brummerfamily.com for that reason.

Another vote for PMWatson. Have you decided yet ? "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Today I do not get the graphic key to vote displayed. So no voting. I think you left one option out. PMichealWatson.com. A really nice middle name! :-O I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

Also I imagine as I grow older that it's humour will wane to me :) Hopefully my name will only get funnier with age. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."

For decades to come.. well the PMWatson.com might be good if you're planning on becoming a Prime Minister :o) If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead. - Homer Simpson

Thanks Stephane. Though I live in South Africa so .us is inapropriate. What is .ws? .info is useful but sometime in the future maybe and then it would point to a sub-page rather than be the central point. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
