I've been wanting to get my own site for some time, but kept putting it off because of all the techy things involved. But for those of you who are thinking of getting your own domain names, please think twice before you do! Here's the reason why:
(via WebUpon)- DicksOnWeb.com (Dickson Web) - A website for data loggers and chart recorders
- ChoosesPain.com (Choose Spain) - A hotel and a realty site for Spain
- ViagraFix.com (Via Grafix) - A company site with "graphix" tutorials and stuff related to computer graphics. Thankfully they're no longer using this domain
- TeacherStalk.com (Teachers Talk) - A community for teachers and students from across the US to talk about just about anything
- WinterSexPress.com (Winter's Express) - A local newspaper for Winters, California
- NYCAnal.com (NY Canal) - A travel information website with links to all sorts of different activities to do on the canals of New York.
- WhorePresents.com (Who Represents) - A database for contacting the lawyer and/or publicists of some of the biggest actors and actresses
- ExpertSexChange.com (Experts Exchange) - A site where experts can exchange their ideas. They've changed their domain since.
- TheRapistFinder.com (Therapist Finder) - A database for you to find a therapist in your area
OK I found all of them pretty hilarious. Did you also know, that if you started a business site on Cook Islands, you would end up with a co.ck ?
Co is the standard for commercial domains, and .ck is the TLD for the Cook Islands, so either way you will end up with the .co.ck after any innocent sounding domain name.
This marks the end of my post! By the way, any of you non-techy people can share with me your difficulties setting up a new site (including blogging platforms and design) all by yourself? And oh, congrats to
Claudia for her new spankin' website!
