Webhosting


Okay so with the final dice orders hopefully being sent off shortly (I believe the dice should arrive at my place in a couple of weeks), it's time to finally get down to getting some hosting for 3++ to take it off the blogspot servers. The question is - what URL? 3++isthenewblack isn't going to work because of the pluses and 3isthenewblack just doesn't have the ring to it now does it. Anyway the floors are open for suggestions whilst myself and fester work behind the scenes to get what we need. The one thought we had was something like www.thepinkarmy.com/net depending upon what was available. Like or no?

Anyway, suggestions go people!

I'm voting for this one here. You're not a Dot Com site Kirby, so .Net works better. And everyone identifies the website as 3++, not anything really else (including "Kirby"). Get too long in the domain name and you run into trouble.
http://www.3plusplus.com? (there's a German .de website, but you should be alright) http://www.pinkplusplus.com?

Good suggestion - if you have to go funny and inside-jokey instead of descriptive.

I like that first suggestion too.
I personally like something like the two suggestions above. I tried to send a guy here once, and he couldn't find 3++. It took me a bit to remember that's it's officially called Kirbysblog... *laugh*

Sadly, though, getting a .com is still one of the better options when possible, as that's what people tend to try to punch in when they aren't sure the domain tag. "3newblack.com" is open, though that's not as nice and clean as the two .net options above.

thepinkarmy.com and .org are both taken, likely for the pink ribbon cancer society. pinkarmy.com, net, and org are all taken, there. *laugh*

thepinkarmy sounds like a porn site.
Or Gay Rights activism.
I think it would be a mistake to continue to disconnect between the website name and the URL. In general, I like to see the URL be all or part of the Website name. I think threeplusplus.something would be a good bet.

+This a bajillion times.

I don't even type in the website url I just do a google search for 3++ is the new black and up pops the blog and bam, link clicked every time.

Go with the name of the blog, you can't use a + sign but when you prouncounce a + it's the word plus so try:

3plusplusisthenewblack.com (or .whatever)

or

threeplusplusisthenewblack.com (or .whatever)

Keeps it nice and simple, and you type in how you'd say it. :)
That's what I was going to say. threeplusplus would be great.

I write for the damn site and I don't even have our current URL memorized, I always just Google it.
I have my link set as a homepage to avoid this problem. I had to explain to a friend the other day who wanted a link to 'go to google, type in 3++ is the new black, then hit the first link." He was all, 'well, isn't that the url?"

It was a sad day.

If I can be perfectly honest, I like the current url, it's not that hard to remember the part before the .blogspot

Okay poll up though if you have any other suggestions, drop away.

I just wanted to let you know that both threeplusplus.com AND 3plusplus.com are already taken by different websites.

Both .net ones are free, however.
Ya I just noticed that unfortunately though I think threeplusplus.net will win the poll anyway...
