It is a broad and tricky area - we would tend to recommend that you keep your domain registration separate from your hosting so that if anything goes wrong you still know you have control over your domain. Tips: As a lot of domains are getting snatcheed up you may struggle to find the one you want so think about: 1. Going for a .org or .net rather than a .com - or look at a regional variation or a .info or .biz one if appropriate. 2. The hyphen is your friend: myspecialdomain.com might be taken but is my-special-domain.com? 3. Try just throwing random words together and seeing if you like anything like: monkeyladder.com gravydance.com 4. Slight variations on words or spelling (but try to avoid l33t spellings). -------------------------------- Relevant threads: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/005844.html]Domains and websites[/url] -------------------------------- Relevant links: [url=http://www.000domains.com/]000domains.com[/url] - a good reasonably priced service that a number of inmates have used. ________________________ [internallink=4626]Emperor[/internallink] [small][i](Added by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Emperor]Emperor [/url] on Wed 06-Nov-2002)[/i][/small] [small][i](Edited by: [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/cgi-bin/ubbmisc.cgi?action=getbio&UserName=Emperor]Emperor [/url] on Wed 06-Nov-2002)[/i][/small]
