registering domain name...

[desk]

i've been trying to figure out a good domain name for my webpage. i finally thought of one, but its associated with the college i went to. however, it is available.

is there anything wrong with me using that name? i mean, if the school asked me for it later, i would let them have it. but they couldn't sue me or anything could they?

depends on the level of assciation.

PM me the name and I will tell you what I think. Don't post it or some ass will register it

They own the trademark/copyrights to the name don't they?

If it's related to the mascot you may have a better chance.

well...., i went to virginia tech.

and the name i want to register is hokie----.com

*edit*

basically, if there is any chance of me having problems with it, id rather just skip it. i was just going to pick it because my parents could remember it easily.

Nah, you're straight. I mean I go to NCSU and www.packpride.com hasn't been shut down, and www.gopack.com is the university's official sports site.

Those are suggestions not RossMAN Seal of Approval recommendations, there is a difference

This is a good web hosting hot deal

If you'd like to host more than 1 web site, you can charge people whatever you want and host up to 30 domains for only $5.95/mo :thumbsup:

I dunno but you're one damn sexy bitch. I like my avatar because this chick has some attitude and she looks damn fine. The shades complete 'the look".

For now yes. You will change this later after you sign up for your web hosting account.

Leave it black or turn it off, you don't really need this if you plan on getting web hosting.
