Since I lost another 6 hours of work last night, I guess finding a new web host is a priority. Not being able to get through to Road Runner's home page server unitl after 2am and losing hours of work is just too frustrating. Once again I call on you help to find a domain name that either describes the site and/or is easily associated with it. I guess key words for the site would be games, how-to, tweaks, hardware and review, since it deals mostly with how-to articles tweaking gaming hardware and then doing the review. http://home.maine.rr.com/deroy/howto.htm These names are available: www.tweakandreview.com www.tweak-review.com www.the-tweaker.com www.the-howto.com www.gametweak.com (picked by someone on ras earlier) www.hardwaretweak.com Any other choice would also be considered. I just can't make up my mind because I'm not objective, and the type of people on this ng are apt to be the same type that would go to the site. I'm going to do this by tomorrow, and I sure could use your input. Thanks Slot

I would go with a name based on "Hardware" before one based on "Games or Game" The www.hardwaretweak.com is ok, but you should probably use www.hardware-tweak.com Very simple and easy for someone to remember. "hmm, I want to tweak my hardware... what was the name of that sight. Oh yea, duh.. hardware-tweak.com" GTX_SlotCar <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OguG4.4550$[email hidden]... > Since I lost another 6 hours of work last night, I guess finding a new web > host is a priority.

From the emails I've received, www.gametweak.com and www.hardwaretweak.com seems to be the finalists in my decision (I thought tweakandreview.com described it best, but had drawbacks). Of these, hardwaretweak is the most accurate description. gametweak.com sounds like it's for tweaking games. I guess people visit the site for 2 different reasons. Some are interested in the how-to articles, and others in the game settings. I actually never intended to have game settings there. I only put them up to show what settings I used for the FF wheel shootout article. But since the shootout isn't done yet, how was anybody to know this ;) As it turns out, it's a popular page. Anyway, aside from not describing the site as accurately, gametweak.com has 2 advantages. It's catchy, easy to remember, and it's shorter. I like Cliff's explanation and argument for hardwaretweak or hardware-tweak.com and favor this name myself, but still I think more people are apt to visit gametweaks.com. Maybe it's less intimidating. Final chance for input, I'm going to pick one today. I could still use more help deciding. Slot
