Yesterday I worked for over 6 hours finishing part one of an article to fine tune the Act Labs pedals, only to lose everything. The problem is that I usually can't upload to my RoadRunner home page server until about 2AM. If I try to 'publish' to my hard disk, it also has to access the server to get the info from that. After several 'server time outs', the computer stops responding. Even when I can get access, it sometimes take a couple hours to actually finish uploading. The RR home page server is not the same as their regular server, and is very slow in general. I can get a pretty good price on web hosting on a very fast server, but I need to pick a domain name. My site http://home.maine.rr.com/deroy/howto.htm is primarily for gaming hardware tweaking and reviews. What domain name best reflects the home page? tweak-review.com tweakandreview.com how-to.com fine-tune.com game-tweak.com or something else. I'm looking for suggestions. Please help me out. Slot

I really suggest "how-to.com".

Just looked it up. Sorry its already gone. All the good catchy names have been registered already. I'm just glad the domain I wanted was slightly obscure.

Checked the other suggestions as well. All are free at the moment. I now think game-tweak.com is the most catchy.

Sorry "how-to.com" was already registered, as anybody would had jumped on the occasion to get such an URL! :) -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.WeRace.net -- People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

If you wanna register, go to Namesecure.com. They are fully authorized by ICANN, and offer re-directing services for only $25 per year. They will redirect viewers to the actual page when they enter your domain name, and your domain name will even appear in the address bar! This is great if you use free servers. They will also redirect any e-mail to you regular address. They currently have a special with registration for only $35. I registered www.stuffyougottahave.com/ with redirecting and setup fee for only $85. BTW, I use www.homepage.com for all my pages. They don't have any nasty pop-up ads. * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!
