Getting Your Own Domain Name: The Day You Announce Your Pressence to the World

No Gravatar

For some reason, I woke up this morning with the drive to get my own domain name. As is obvious to those who have been visiting my blog (and made more apparent by the post below), I basically spent the whole day comparing various domain name registrars and webhost providers, deciding on what services I’d get, choosing one domain name registrar for my domain name, and setting up Blogger.com and www.darthvid.com to link up to each other. Quite a productive day for me, actually.

I hit a few snags before I got things working, mainly because the domain name registrar I used apparently made some recent changes to itself, causing the instructions written in Blogger.com to be insufficient (as of today, at least). Thankfully, I managed to figure out what was wrong when I read this post (same solution here).

Now I have some flexibility in my hands, and future radical changes to the content I decide to provide shouldn’t require a change of URLs.

Now then, I got a cellphone, a blog, my own domain name, some MMOs/online games… what other current trend do I have to get myself into…? I guess I should start planning on getting a game console, a portable, and an iPod sometime soon if I want to keep up with the times.

If you tried to access this blog, you should find yourself at the new URL (www.darthvid.com). I decided that I better start preparing for the future, and thought that a having my own domain name was in order. This should allow me greater flexibility in the future, whether it will be in changing blogs, having my own website aside from the blog, switching hosts, etc etc.

Please update your bookmarks. The site may change, but the URL should stay the same. :D
