domain name ideas. by bach_m on 07-19-2004 at 02:05 AM
after losing my hosting (not my fault, nor my hosts), i decided i might as well get a real domain name and pay for hosting. luckily, my friend has a server and can host me for cheap enough, but i need a domain name.
and therin lies the problem. i've racked my brain trying to come up with a decent domain name, and by extension a site name, but i couln't come up with anything, and all my friends in the real world can't come up with anything. so do any of you have any suggestions?
its baisically gonna just be a personal site. you know, blog, gallery, collection of PHP scripts etc.
any suggestions.

So time for your friends in the "fake world" to think
Anyways, you could somehow have it related to what you like the most in your life, even if it is a general personal site there must be something that you will use more than others.... i suggest you tell us that something and we go from there

Why not use, www.(your name).com,.org,.net?
Or www.bach-m.com?
RE: domain name ideas. by Guido on 07-19-2004 at 03:31 AM
www.bachm.com is not registered << 
RE: domain name ideas. by Maniac on 07-19-2004 at 03:44 AM
bach-m isn't either.... i would guess he'd rather use that...

Now seriously, try your name(s), nickname(s) or make a random name generator.

i just got <plug> http://www.saral.me.uk </plug> why dont you get a .me.uk domain (if u live in the uk) or a .name address?
RE: domain name ideas. by bach_m on 07-19-2004 at 11:05 AM
i don't really like www.bachm.com. it doesn't really roll of the tongue very well. it just sounds so.... akward...
i've never really had a nickname. since about grade 3, i've just been Bach, so that really doesn't help.
just for any one trying to come up with something, my name is Michael Bach.

Bach (like the composer) M.
so its Bach M. the underscore is like a space.
anyone? it doesn't need to have my name in it. it can be something witty, or even wierd.

As far as I can see, they have no purpose other than to reserve names and take advantage of peoples' spelling mistakes in order to make money with their useless advertising.
