Having become really serious about collecting and my web presence (not in a stuck up, as in taking it serious), I've been giving it thought, to get a paid domain name, not really as a gaming related news site, but mostly a blog, and information on my collection (what games I have, how many, condition, etc) and also use it to inform of my new youtube videos, and reviews I post on other websites. I realize I could use a 'free' site, and have done so in the past, but I never cared too much for them, as to me, they seem rather unprofessional. I realize I'd have to the site coding and such on my own - that's no issue, I've ran three domains, rather successfully a few years ago, so I'm up to the challenge. Another thing, what should I register my site as? My most widely known username is helsinkirocks, however that is already a registered site (.com and .net are taken, I could for others, but I want something easy). My youtube 'show' is called Helsinki's Classic Gaming Revue, so I was thinking of something like hcgr.com or hcgr.net (depending on price) because its short and very easy to remember, etc. What do you guys think? Feel free to make suggestions for content, style, etc. Thanks! Aj |

Go for it. I used to use my website as a blog, not expecting anyone to view it at all, just for reference for myself more than anything. Plus, it helps you upload images and stuff, gives it a more personal feel to it all. |

These aren't the droids we're looking for.

pokemonzrpg and I started our own website without really thinking it through, so now we're stuck with a meh web host. Definitely do your research when it comes to hosts and such. I wish I had looked more into Wordpress, but they used the word "blog" too much, and I just wasn't interested in making a new blog. I probably could have used them if I had done more research. |

Yes I definitely think you should go for it, life's short as it is and it's worse to not do something and regret it. I know about coding or hosts or anything, so I can't offer any guidance but more power to ya! |

I've used godaddy before on my old sites, and I liked them. I go with them again, however 5gigs was also awesome. |

I say go for it as well! Making a website takes commitment though so If your like me and have zero patience I would suggest steering clear
