Hi everyone,

I am looking to get perhaps one domain or multiple domains for my coming company, but I have a few problems. Hopefully some of you could help me out here :)

Preferably I would like either vronline.com, vronline.net but they are taken. Since my company is VRonline Studios I need to have a vronline in their somewhere. So now vronline.biz, vronline.info,.... are some other options. Along with vronlinestudios.com.

Ok so i'd appreciate some ideas in regards to the actual domain/s, but also, I want to get a reliable domain service and yet a cheap one. I noticed by reading a post in this forum that RackShack sells domains for $5, but are they reliable? Are there any glitches..... I was also hoping to get in on the Registerfly deal of .biz, .info domains being onlyy $6, but are they reliable??

All help is greatly appreciated.


Regards,

VRonline

Both rackshack and RegisterFly are reputable. Rackshack is the cheaper of the two, but RegisterFly provides more free services.

Since vronline.com,net, even vr-online.com,net are all taken

I would suggest u use:
vronline.biz
since your co. is in this business line

What does VR stand for? may be you can just use:
V****R***.com

OR

Do u consider ccTLD..if your customer-based is in specific region...this is a good options!!

my thoughts:
vronline.us
vronline.ca
.

.
p/s: i nvr know vronline is so popular, lots of its variants are all taken!!
be fast b4 some1 saw this and cybersquat it!!!:D

hi thanks for the quick replies :)

dmaven, what do you mean that Registerfly has more free services. What are they??

silhouette, VR = Vassko Rumchev my initials :) I am based in Australia, but I do want to appeal to the larger public, ie.. USA as well as international. What do u think about vronlinestudios.com ?? is it worth it?

btw, VR = Virtual Reality, that is why is it so popular :P

thanks everyone, more help is greatly appreciated :)

seems like this suits your requirement best!.
YES!! the name looks pretty nice!!

And, dmaven means:
though RS is the cheapest. But the feature it provides is rather standard: just the nameserver only..
while Registerfly, eNom Reseller, come with a complete solutions like: frame redirection, url fowarding,parking page....(i actually dont utilise them at all.)nameserver is enough for me!!

whats frame redirection?? parking page? lol sorry but I am clueless about these things :)

This looks great !!

But the problem with American registrars for me is that, like most Europeans, I prefer to pay via bank transfers and not via creditcard. So I need a registrar that accepts that, or that accepts a virtual creditcard (for example : I pay PayPal 10 dollar via bank transfer, and they give me a number to enter in the field where RegisterFly asks the creditcard nr, and so I pay 10 dollar in fact via bank transfer)


Next to that, some questions :

- I thought their free site is only 5 MB ?
- e-mail forwarding and A Records service : up to how many e-mail-aliasses or subdomains can one create for free ?
- how much MB is the free webmail mailbox ?
- what is Dynamic DNS and NS Registry for ?

Remarkable that all this os free :) But won't they be out of business very fast if they must provide all these things for free and just get 9 bucks per domain ??


To VROnline : if you are an Australian-based company with also many American clients, I'd also register vronline.us and vronline.com.au (or vronline.org.au) if I were you. But I think you don't need to hurry that much, when you own the VR Online company, you can claim any vronline.*** domain because of trademark reasons.
But if I were you : www.vronlinestudios.com, www.vronline.us, www.vronline.com.au :)

But if I were you : www.vronlinestudios.com, www.vronline.us, www.vronline.com.au :) [/B][/QUOTE]

I agree, just use URL forwarding to point to the same website:)
