Where do I go to register domain names? It's no secret; the gang at DNSCENTRAL.COM have been my friends for quite some time. While I can't speak for Lockergnomie Scott Rubin's preference, he shared a bit of insight with me the other day that I thought I'd pass along to you. "Today, while reading Lockergnome, I noticed that they have made many new extensions for the Internet. So, I started exploring domain names again, hoping that I could come up with one better than our current one. When we [originally] registered our name, there was a limitation to its length. I believe it was 27 characters (including the dot-com). Our name was too long by three characters. The point of my e-mail was just to let you know that that limitation has apparently been extended since they added the additional [extensions]." Very cool. Even though I'm a fast typist, I appreciate shorter URLs. That being said, I'm sure that Scott is thrilled that Diamondhead Documentation dot-com is finally his.
