Register a domain name for

Status:

Time needed:

A week

Step:

This is an invitation to neighbours to suggest a name for the project website. We need to set up the Notre Dame website. The first step is to register a domain name.

Some of the ideas I have include:
www.notredame-ug.org
www.ndhs-uganda.org

Please post your suggestions here. This task will close on Thursday 13th August and the domain will be registered on Friday 1th August.

Hi guys

Christopher, you asked me what I think, although its really up to you to decide!

As the website is for a school, I would put 'school' somewhere in the name, maybe ndhschool.org or ndhschool-uganda.org

You can't have notredameschool.org as thats already taken, you could have notredameschool-uganda.org but thats a bit long.

Re: Register a domain name for

Dear All

I tend to like notredameschool-uganda.org. It would be good to have school in the domain name so anyone getting the web address immediately knows it's a school. I'm not sure long names really matter.

Check this out:
"Problems aside, domain names such as CreditSuisseFirstBoston.com, NationalWestminsterBank.com and HarleyDavidsonMotorCycles.com have already been registered through INWW. However a Welsh village is claiming the longest .com name is history with its registration of llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com."
(Extract from: http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/296361)

So what do you say guys?Maybe we should even go the whole hog and register notredamehighschool-uganda.org :-)

Hello
My name is nandini and I like the option notredameschool-ug.org. I don't think it is long and captures the idea of school in it's name which is what is needed for this project.
Please do let me know how else I can be of help to you.
