#317428 - 10/02/04 03:57 PM Help me choose domain name for new site
Lincoln Member Registered: 30/01/03 Posts: 3221 Loc: Wisconsin	I have decided to build a new webpage. It will include 2 forums: 1 forum will be for the Midwest Xterra Gathering (much like gonemoab), and the other forum will be for the Midwest Xterra Owners. The main page will also include a link to a new member sign up form, a members list, a links page, and a modifications page. I need to know what domain name to use so please reply as soon as possible so I can get going on this! I already started the development of the website and I want to get the domain/webserver paid for and set-up in the next couple of days. (These are not workable links, it just automaticaly set it up this way) www.midwestxterraowners.com www.midwestxterraowners.org www.mxo.com www.mxo.org www.midwestxterraownersclub.com www.midwestxterraownersclub.org www.midwestxoc.com www.midwestxoc.org www.mwxoc.com www.mwxoc.org _________________________ Schleprock, Schleprock...stronger than steel!

Lincoln Member Registered: 30/01/03 Posts: 3221 Loc: Wisconsin	I think Maximus has another trick up his sleeve for now, please still vote as I am looking to doing this in the future sometime. Until Maximus gets everything set...the new website will be available at (infamous tk!) Midwest Xterra Owners _________________________ Schleprock, Schleprock...stronger than steel!

TrialsX Member Registered: 30/06/01 Posts: 281 Loc: Florida	I kinda like www.midwestxterraowners.com or .org. I know Ian can be pretty touching on the use the XOC name, or things like that, and it's totally understandable... We are Midwest Xterra Owners. I think that spells it out the best. I would say the .com is the simplest and most common, but .org would be more of what we are... I'm not real biased on that one way or the other. -M _________________________ www.mikemelchior.com

All 3 letter domain names are spoken for, which is why I recommended mwxg.com earlier. I was rather surprised there were any 4 letter domains available. mwxc.com is gone too but mwxc.org is available. I would recommend mwxc.org or mwxoc.org, keeping it short and easy to remember. _________________________ nom nom nom

Mapman Member Registered: 16/08/00 Posts: 636 Loc: Crystal Lake, IL	These are my favorites, and seeing as www.mwxoc.org is available (according to Ian) and short that would be my choice over all of the others! www.midwestxoc.com www.midwestxoc.org www.mwxoc.com www.mwxoc.org _________________________ Formerly known as EAP http://midwestxterraowners.com/

Not at all. I would leave "xoc" out unless the club is actually "MidWest Xterra Owners Club", and not just "MidWest Xterra Club". _________________________ nom nom nom
