Hello,
I'm trying to pick up a domain that will be a place where employers can find out more about me, and do things like email me, check out my resume, and an asortment of other things.

I'm trying to pick up a domain that will be something like mikebailey.com or mike-bailey.com or something like that, the problem that I have run into is that just about every domain which contains my name is already taken.

Can somebody please recommend a good domain name I can use, to get my name out to the job market? My name is Mike Bailey, and I'm hoping to get a .com domain (possible .net) .

sorry if this post doesn't make much sense, i took a 3 minute break to look for a domain while posting it.

Why a .COM? A .NAME sounds ideal.

www.mike.bailey.name
mike@bailey.name

Costs only $19.95/yr (inlcuding VAT) directly from the registry at http://www.personalnames.com/

mikebailey.info would be a great domain info on yourself :D

Yea, .INFO is cool too for personal names.

Heh, i would still go with friedmanlo's suggestion. .com's are suitable for everthing IMHO, not to mention more worth it.

If the .com is taken grab the .info

Or why not the .name ? Surely, this would be the best TLD for possible employment.

Have you tried with your initial, m?bailey.com or ?mbailey.com?

MikeBailey.com is expiring in 33 days add 30 days redemption it could be yours in 60 or so days


for information about yourself get a .com its great

you would be surprised the number of people who think the internet is just .com

.name .info could confuse people if you want something professional go for yourfullname.com :)

I can email the owner and try and purchase the name for you what is your target price?
