Feverish Thoughts

June 7, 2006 by Tricia

Do you remember that contest that I started a week and a half ago? The New Domain – Cheap? contest?

Well, I don’t have any winners as of yet. I had a number of great ideas given to me and several people participated but no winners have been chosen.

One of the reasons why I don’t have any winners yet is:

1. Some great domain name ideas were given, but ultimately I decided to go with one that I thought up on my own. Sorry!

2. A number of people suggested various hosting sites, but I don’t need a new host as I’m very happy with the one I’m using. I have some huge sites running with this host and I need a host that offers a lot of transfer bytes – and that I have.

3. What I did want was a place to purchase a cheap domain name, but when I looked at several of the suggested sites the domain prices were only inexpensive if you also purchased another product from said sites – often in the form of hosting.

4. The final reason why I don’t have any winners for my contest – yet – is that I haven’t chosen a designer, or whether I’ll even go with a designer at all. If I do go with one of the suggested designers I assure you that the first person that suggested the one whom I choose will receive the promised 500 credits.

I’m really sorry that I wasn’t able to award any prizes to anyone by now. I was hoping that I could have made a few people happy.

I did however choose my new domain name! I came up with it on Saturday when I happened to have had a very high fever all day. I decided to call the new site Feverish Thoughts. Do you like?

It totally suites what’s been going on with me these days, and by that I mean my being sick. A day doesn’t go by without me having a fever so I might as well have a domain named after my affliction.

I don’t know if it was a good or bad idea to have created the new domain on a day with the ominous numbers 6.6.6 as it’s date. But it’s a done deal! Hey my birthday has three 6’s in it. Well, it doesn’t really, one of the numbers is an upside down 6, but that’s close enough isn’t it?

The two new sites that I’m creating are going to be:

1. A gardening site – Yes I know it might not be a huge hit, but I don’t care. I want to talk about my garden and what grows in it. I’m sure there are a few other people out there that might be interested in a site devoted to all things gardening.

2. A photo site – I love photography and enjoy taking interesting photos.

Now here’s where you guys come in again. What should I name these sites?

I’m really stumped on the photo site. Tricia’s Photo’s just doesn’t do it for me. Right now the photo’s I have to put up are, well, mostly flower pictures, beach picture and a few from around my lovely city of Toronto. Do you have any creative ideas for a name for my photo site?

The garden site needs a name too and if you want to try your hand at coming up with a name I’d appreciate hearing your ideas. So far I’ve thought of:

1. I never promised you a rose garden (uh my garden has 65 or so rose plants in it!)
2. Petals and Blooms (some companies use that one, so maybe not)
3. As the Garden Grows

Any other ideas?

Mr. Fab has been typing away furiously in his room and I just went over to read the post he’s been working on and I really think you should go visit him. He has a serious post up today – yes very rare for this boy! I don’t want to tell you what it’s about because I want you to go there and read it for yourself and see how it affects you. go, go now … oh wait, leave me a site name idea first, then go.

New Domain – Cheap? Contest

May 23, 2006 by Tricia

I need some suggestions. Contest involved!


I want to get a new domain but I don’t know which company to buy one from. I bought my last two directly from my hosting company, but they charged me close to $15 per domain. I’m pretty sure I can get a new domain or two for a little less.

Any ideas?

I can’t use Go-Daddy either. My hosting company has some kind of problem with Go- Daddy domains. I think they don’t transfer properly from one host to another.

I want to move all of my bl0gs over to one domain. Which will mean moving Tricia’s Musings and perhaps Odd Planet over to the new site. I’m not even sure what I’m going to do with Odd Planet. I was thinking about re-designing it, but I think I’ll hold off and possibly move it first.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good domain name? Something easy to remember, and not too long?

Now here’s the contest part:

1. Give me some suggestions on where I can purchase a domain for a low price. If I decide to go with the company that you suggest I’ll give that person 250 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits. If the company is suggested more than once I may only give credits out to the first person to suggest that company.

2. Name the Domain

Suggest a short but memorable domain name. If I decide to use it (and can secure it!) I’ll give the winner 1000 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits.

3. I may choose to go with a designer, especially if I move Odd Planet. It desperately needs a re-design. I like WordPress so the two new sites and likely Odd Planet will be WordPress sites. If I decide to be too lazy to do it myself I might get a designer to help me out. Suggest a designer that does wordpress sites (not too expensive, we might be talking three sites here!) and I’ll give the winner 500 BL0GEXPLOSION or BL0GMAD credits if I go with a designer.
