I have had thePryde.com for like 5 years now. And its time for renew.
but I am not sure I want too. I may want to try a new name. here are a
few options.

MuhnayShot.com ( My online ID )

JRMcDowell.com ( My name )

LANpartyUSA.org ( My business name. )

Or something different? What are your ideas?

I want it for a couple things, any game clans I may start, my sig art
work, my resume, and my maps I make.. what do you all suggest?

<div class="abouttext">Message submitted 13 minutes after original post:</b></div>
If I go with MuhnayShot.com, I know I will get a ton of traffic.. lol

With my name.. I have my idenity to cover my passions?

With the Business name.. im sorta limited.

JRMcDowaell.com seems more impressive if you want a place to put
resume's or showcase your work. Personally, that's what I would
go with.

A word of advice: Don't get ANY domain name where you will have to SPECIFY to ppl how to spell a word. Make it as simple as possible without any gimmick spellings and without any complex words, such as "Christmas" or "Muhnay."

I though i was safe from lifenubs when i chose Nickel+plate as my online ID. Everyone knows how to spell Nickel and PLATE. all they have to do is put the words together. 90% of everyone who types it in cannot spell "Nickel" they always spell it "Nickle," which is very effective at NOT getting the emails to me.

Still when i chose my domain name DIMEBOWL.com. I figured, "EVERYONE knows .com, everone know's "dime" and everyone knows "bowl". After all, every 10-cent piece they've ever handled has the word DIME on it and BOWL is 4 frickin letters. Yet ppl insist on asking me how I spell my domain name.

I can only imagine how crazy I'd be right now If I had chosen something like www.t3hw3bs1t3.com or soemthing that you'd have to specify each time. take it from me, moneyshot... spel everything in a standard way and make it as short as possible! for your sanity's sake...

How else would you spell Christmas? crismiss? Yes, I think I shall get
the domain crismiss.com, and see how much traffic THAT site gets.

I hear ya.. the problem is MoneyShot.com is already taken. But MuhnayShot.com is not..

moneyshot.net? moneyshot.co.uk ? moneyshot.tv?

there are LOADS of other domain endings that you might wanna check out , your site just might FEEL like a .tv , or a .us you never know :wink:

mine felt like a .net , so here's mine

www.arclan.net

caution , its a bit heavy on the stuff <-- Needs a dialup friendly version of the site

.else /me ~kill you
www.arclan.net

Also all taken.

Since the internet.

This man wins the 2005 awards. Whatever that is :razz:

I'll be intersted in learning quite a bit about webhosting from this thread, assuming that it's still alive.

Often times children these days when reading aloud in class will stop when they come upon any work linger than about 7 letters so the teacher will read it for them. It's really this way... I work at a school and I see it a lot.

shotmoney.com is available
as is JRmoneyshot.com

themoneyshot.com is for sale..

I mean, just imagine trying to explain "muhnayshot.com" to some Indian Tech support guy or something like that.

Here is the stigma of a good word getting pinned to the porn biz.

Back in the early days of Photo-Press when news papers didnt hire
photogophers, they used free lancers.. And a Picture sold to the press
was known as the MoneyShot... because it was a pic you would get paid
for. Then somehow the porn peeps grabbed it and it became a dirty word.

Then later on when gaming came along on-line, and you were a very good
shot, or culd pace a shot on the money, the term was snagged once more
to be used to express your skill as a FPS player.

there hows that Mr indian tech dude. =)

but I think I may try a couple other ideas.. I was also excepting any suggestions you all felt fit me.

That's all very nice and good, but I was talking about trying to get them to SPELL it correctly.When handling tech support calls at work, I have to spell and respell names and addresses and stuff about 67 times like this:

• N as in Nancy
• I as in Iris
• C as in Charlie
• K as in Kangaroo
• E as in Echo
• L as in Lima
• P as in Peter
• L as in Lima
• A as in Alpha
• T as in Tango
• E as in Echo
• @ that's the AT sign
• hotmail.com

Unfortunately I have to spell hotmail too. Lest they think it's "hawtmale" or soe crap...
