domain names

Everyone knows that I own the davidgagne.net domain name. I also own the davidgagne.org and the davegagne.org domains. Here’s my question: Should I configure those two domains to redirect to this one? Or should I set them to be mirrors of this one? Dreamhost gives me both options, and I’m trying to decide which one makes more sense. I know some screwball side-effects can arise if you redirect. But creating mirrors seems fishy, too. Your thoughts?

The domain name says it all:
johnkerryisadouchebagbutimvotingforhimanyway.com

Here are a few more great selections from my research into available domain names:

• asleepbyeleven.com
• tyrannosaurausdave.com
• sugarfreelinks.com
• eatenbyanogre.com
• smellslikechicken.net
• donoteattheyellowsnow.com
• kneedeepintrouble.com

Did you know that I also own ilovedavidgagne.com and terribleheadache.com? I’ve been wondering what to do with terribleheadache.com for a while now. I’ve just finished a large Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Swiss Mocha Latte and swallowed two Excedrin Migraine gel caps (with 65 mg ea.) so I have somewhere around a kilo of caffeine in my system.

HI!

When I want to register a domain name, I go to Dotster.com. It might cost a few dollars more - and I’m talkin’ like, $2 more - than some of the bargain basement registrars, but you cannot beat their customer service, administration, and control panel options. I’ve used them for years and highly recommend their company. I mention them today because I just discovered that they have a thing going now called the Dotster Sunday Mystery Special. Every Sunday they have a new little schtick. Today it’s a deal on .info domain names. Check ‘em out.

If you’re looking for a really insulting and / or offensive eMail address or web site, look no further than datapimp email and hosting services. The original is still the best.

*Note: I actually think anothermartiniplease.com is kind of cool. I don’t like martinis, though. Yech.

Nobody wants these?!

The available domain name of the week from splorp.com is a handy and fun little web resource. I remember visiting the site early last year and seeing some great names. This is a site for the people who complain that all the good www names are taken. This week’s available name is plaintextarchive.com. Check ‘em out.

So. My domain name (davidgagne.net) registration expired on February 9. Rather than do something silly, like send me an eMail to warn me that it was about to expire, the folks at dotster simply closed my home on the ‘net and replaced it with that Renewal Notice. As far as I can tell, I got lucky and nobody else decided to renew my name for me. I realized what had happened Sunday morning and promptly sent them my credit card information to bill me for another year. As of now (about 3 pm) the site is still down and I can’t get my eMail or anything. Interestingly enough, I still have FTP access, so posting this to Blogger might actually work. I don’t know. The Renewal Notice has been replaced with a message saying that I’ve re-registered and everything should be fine in a few hours. But still. Geez.
