Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Domain Names : Forum or Forums

[CPInteract]

I am about to get myself a personal domain but can't decide whether to have "forum" or "forums" as part of the domain.


I've added a poll. Please do me a favor and tell me which you would choose and why.



Oh, no option for a Poll.
1) forum
2) forums

Forum.

[H-U.net]

Shouldn't 'forums' be fora?

Not that anyone cares about that.

I use forums, as every man and his dog prefer that.

If possible get both and redirect the .....forums.com domain to .....forum.com

[Water]

I would go with forums. If you can...just buy both forum and forums then redirect them.

Also who are you registering this domain with?

Does it really matter in this context?

nope...i think Water is implying to use his domain service

i'd agree and get both, but if not then go with forums.

[gooroo]

go with forum..

[FanCube]

Get both, and use forum as primary.

[Shannara]

I 2nd FanCube's suggestion.

An age old question I've been in that spot a couple of times and gone with forums (registering the forum version at the same time). After all, we are on WebHostingTalk Forums .

Anyway it depends....
Are you going to have various forums or just one?
That's the question.
But good to have both.
I would go for 'forum' just to add one to the poll.

[kikonoro]

I'd go with forums.

[plugged]

forums. as for the latin plural fora, 'forums' is generally accepted as the term because it is easier to remember.

[dgessler]

I plug in a vote for forum

Would 've been nice if you actually set up a poll, results seem rather close

I chose DNFORUM when I started my site, thought it made more sense over dnforums. "Domain Name Forum", "Domain Name Forums".
