Suggest me a domain name!

[cr3ative]

I'm looking for a .co.uk / .net / .com domain, but unfortunately some corporate basts called cr*backward e*ative have got:

-cr3ative.com
-cr3ative.org
-cr3ative.net
-cr3ative.co.uk
-cr3ative.info
-cr3ative.tv

Grr, the utter domain hogging fools.

Anyway, can anyone suggest me a domain name?

What's the nature/ topic of your site? Personally I really would avoid "cr3ative" in the domain if possible. It's very hard to remember correctly. Let us know the kind of site it will be, and I can give you some suggestions.

[cr3ative]

Righty then.

It'll be a site to replace my current afpsupport.r8.org, so it will still host PCT Online. The name could involve this.

Cheers

Ok, here are some suggestions I can think of. Last check, they're all available:

-afpflash.com
-afpflashplayer.com
-pctresearch.com
-afpmovieplayer.com

Ease of remembering and logical in meaning are both important when choosing a domain name IMO, the former for humans, the later, also for search engines (ie: flash player is a good keyword).

Cheers. I like the sound of pctresearch.com - I might park myself there.

I've just got to wait to get my pay cheque cleared for this month now .. .

Thanks boss

:/ .com's are a bit pricy nowadays...

1and1.co.uk - £1.99/month for .co.uk but £9/month for .com
I think I'll economise here.

I hope they support web forwarding, they seem cheap. I want to point the .co.uk domain towards my existing webspace... that is what web forwarding is, isn't it?

edit: does this sound like what I want?

Web Hosting 5.0 technology also provides you with full DNS and domain contact management as well as providing you with redirection address options, set up directories and a domain status overview.

edit 2: yes it is. marvellous.

For £9/month I'd want a semi-dedicated server, with the domain thrown in for free :)

If you want a .com try GoDaddy, they charge $8.95/yr for .coms and .nets, so, if you don't mind the conversion, this comes to just under £5/yr. They also do private registrations aswell for an extra £5/yr, if you're interested. The only downside is that they only give you email fowarders and no POP accounts in the package.

Also, forwarding won't let you use addresses such as www.pctresearch.com/your_page.html unless your host has nameservers.

Hi everyone, and thanks very much for your feedback.

@ausant: I want to be able to keep the domain name for use with all projects - AFP will be completed soon and it'll just be a feature in my download section.
