I can register RAINBOWNINJAS with any of the following extensions. The prices are per year:
| .com | .net | .info | .org | .me | .tel | .tv | .im | .us | .co | .in |
| $9.99 | $9.99 | $2.99 | $7.49 | $9.95 | $9.99 | $22.95 | $10.95 | $8.99 | $28.00 | $3.99 |
What does everyone think?
EDIT: Those are all the different extension my domain hoster can register with. We can register with more then one extension, and have them all point to the same site. We can rule out .tv, .tel, .im, .co because of how expensive they are. .info is the cheapest, but .com, .net & .org are the most common.
I'm planning on going with the Start-Up plan from A2 Hosting http://www.a2hosting.com/services/web-hosting/ because they have subversion included in the hosting. I'll be getting a domain name from my own domain hoster so we arn't tied down to A2 Hosting if things go south at some point, and also because its much much cheaper.
i think we need to consider a propper name first, ie anything without 'ninja' in it.
ReplyDeletehow much server space are we talking?
I was coming up with names for a while then I realised I suck at it!
ReplyDeleteI vote .com because it sounds all professional. =>
I vote .net simply for this reason:

A proper name? I don't see much wrong with Rainbow Ninjas. I mean, we're a gaming group we don't have to take ourselves too seriously. We wanna make fun, why not sound fun? : P
ReplyDeleteBut are there any other suggestions? We can consider them.
Darkness Studios, Darkness Media, etc.
ReplyDeleteThey sound more serious, and could be used as a company name for proper releases. Unfortunately we can't get darknessstudios.com at the moment because of the damn parking page on it. We also can't get darknessmedia.com because it is a "premium" domain name.
i don't mind rainbow, but ninja is way overused, especially with game developers.
ReplyDeleteDarkness I'm not terribly fond of, makes us seem morose. I'm all about the funtimes.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the ninja point. It was mostly original because of the Orofice Projectiles : P. We can change it to Majestic Rainbow Orofice Projectiles, or even just Rainbow Projectiles or something if that's better? ; )
Team Epic Ninja Zombie Robot Cake Lie FTW sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm just retarded.
Once we decide on the domain name I can order the web hosting and then I can start bringing everything online for our use. Is there any particular web scripts anyone wants on the site?
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at Joomla at the moment to see if it meets our needs. We might also get a wiki for planning and stuff.
Im pro sauce with Joolma,
ReplyDeletenot really but i use it for work (mostly article writing and html) so i know how it works
I like the sound of rainbow projectiles actually
I'm ok with Rainbow Projectiles, and I've checked the domain availability.
ReplyDeleterainbowprojectiles & rainbowprojectile both have all above mentioned extensions available, now we just need to finish deciding.
