Ideas for new domain names ending in .com or .net.
To see if a name is taken type 'whois ' at a UNIX prompt or look it
up on
http://www.internic.net 's whois searcher.
We need your ideas for names to register to help make money to support
the Spring, a lot of the obviously great names are taken, but there are
still some good ones out there and sometimes good ones expire and open up
again. Your ideas?

That's much better now. See Terry? I managed it!! But for a second there I really hought I had my tongue stuck where it was, and got overwhelmed in visions of brown. That was scary.

I almost lost
thespring.com but I reregistered it today. So pretty soon
you can type thespring into your browser without the dot ending and the
http garbage. Also registered
gospring.com along with
thespring.com

terry how much would it cost me for you to get me
ratthing.com and host
it on your servers? i also own
l-comm.com, and was thinking of parking
it on your servers as well. what are the initial costs and the
monthly/recurring costs?

got a question: if i wanted to have my own domain, say, uh,
midnightwolf.com, what would the purpose for it be? i mean, how big is a domain, would it be all mine? would i have to work real hard at it? besides the initial cost of owning the name, what else would it cost me?
~ratthing

wolfie, when you have a domain name, it is essentially a single site
on the internet that you can do with as you please. you can host
a web site on it, you can put files on it for people to download, you
can host conferences on it, you can host whatever you want on it.
the only limitations are 1) the abilities of the server machine on
which you are hosting your site, 2) the amount of time and money
you have to work on the site.
i want to have a site to do all sorts of things. right now i have
a web site at
www.l-comm.com but i no longer own a company called
L Comm, so i would just like to start
ratthing.com for my own
personal use.
~wolf
Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (09:00)
#38
well, i did look for
midnightwolf.com and it is free. what about
ratthing.com?
and what kind of server would i need? i mean, could i do this from my personal computer at home? and would the thing need to be on all the time? (i'm utterly clueless)!
~terry

No match for "

technically, you would be able to run your server off of any machine
connected to the internet. ideally, you want a machine connected to
the net 24/7 and on all the time.

terry, my church has a website at
www.sanfernandocathedral.org. we
are thinking of moving it somewhere else that is cheaper. we are
currently having it hosted by corporate web (
www.corporate-web.com)
what would you charge?
~terry
Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (10:23)
#42
For a church, $15 per month plus whatever Jeff or Tami's set up fee is to
put it on the server, if you put it on the server it's free for the setup.
Church's get 50% off our regular $30 / month dedicated website fee.

i have a meeting with the Rector of the cathedral on sunday. i will

meantime, what do you charge to snarf up
ratthing.com and place it
on your servers?
~terry
Wed, Dec 9, 1998 (11:03)
#44
Same thing. YOu'd have to pay the nic $70 for two years, provide and
organization name and contact, and pay a small set up fee. IN your case,
it would be free, a tradeoff for your copious assistance and ideas.
You could do the setup if you felt up to it. I believe the directions are
in the projects conference, which is the place where we organize various
websites and jobs.
Jeff Kramer set up a webserver on
access.spring.net for all our new sites.
Do you have an account there, Ray?

If you had to rename the spring something other than
spring.net what would
it be?
I've thought about
springfolks.com
It would be nice to be a dot com instead of a dot net, of course we can be
as many names as we want all pointing to the same site.
Suggestions? (it can't be an already registered name).
~aschuth
Thu, Sep 16, 1999 (13:42)

I like .net, because it doesn't sound so corporate. I mean, yeah, you own this, and there are costs and cash flows, so there IS a biz side, but the name should rather propagate the web-culture the Spring is. This is our "Home on the Net", where the browers graze, etc.
P.S.: I'm not sure a topic like "A wants
Spring.net" should be exclusiveky discussed in Inner. Thanks for dragging this out here into the sun shine.
We non-Inners see it, and when we know something is going on, but can't put the finger on it, it might upset the populace.
~terry
Thu, Sep 16, 1999 (15:17)
#62
No, it would not be upsetting. But I can't go in to details yet.
.com names have the advantage that you type one word in the browser
window without the http://www. and the .com. That's one big reason why
I'd like to have a .com or several .com names for this community.
Ideas? Suggestions on names?
~aschuth
Thu, Sep 16, 1999 (15:51)
#63
"No, it would not be upsetting. But I can't go in to details yet." - I appreciate that, as this is wheelin'-dealin' biz, and it asks for mucho discretion. I understand this. Many golden geese fly away when people discuss how to cut it up before getting their hands on one...
Still, seeing people post in a topic with the mentioned name, but general public being in the dark... Well, got me thinking what you were up to - nothing untoward, I'm sure, it's just the suspense and thrill...

Wow. It is getting really hard to find the dotcoms anymore. I do whoises for fun every few months, but since the last time, it seems like hardly any I think of are still available. However, I think these might possibly be valuable soon, especially since in the next year they say 40% of all small businesses will have a web presence, so the e-commerce-type names will be hot.
