Website URL?
Okay, ever since about 4-5 days ago, @home finally shut down all their servers, so my personal website went bye-bye.
I want to rehost my website, but the Shaw FTP really sucks.
So I figure I'll finally cough up the extra cash, and register my own URL.
But i'm stuck?! What the heck do I register?
I was thinking about www.gujustud.com, because I really don't wanna have my REAL name as a URL.
Another option was www.ditchmond.com, where "Ditchmond" is another name of the city I live in, which is really called Richmond. The reason for this, is because Richmond is full of, you guessed it, Ditches, and lots of them. Thats only cuz we're below Sea-Level, and we have a dyke all around Richmond that keeps the water out.
Other than that, I can't really think of anything else!?

webmaster: K, maybe i'm not being exactly CLEAR here. I already know where to register my website, thats all done. What I don't know is WHAT to call my website. ie: What URL to call it? URL meaning, www.msn.com www.microsoft.com www.nowdoyouunderstand.com www.blahblahblah.com
kapeche?
I'm actually gonna host at www.gotoecom.com. They only charge a $15 canadian setup fee, no monthly fee's, and just the fee to register the URL. They give me 20meg, which is good enuf for now for my personal web hosting.
Identity_X: lol, I change my icon biweekly or so, since I've got a stack of them. too bad www.whackit.com is already REGISTERED!
