When I have an interest I always register a domain name with the good intentions of making it as succesfull as www.seatcupra.net

 

That aint gonna happen cos I am too busy. So.....

 

I want to register a domain that can host all my interests etc etc. I have decided it should be based around my nickname Shaggy. I cant decide what domain name to go for though. That's where you come in. What do you think the best is out of the following.......

 

yourshaggy.com

yourshaggy.co.uk

freeshaggy.com

bigshaggy.com

shaggylive.com

easyshaggy.com

shaggystore.com

hotshaggy.com

shaggypro.com

shaggy4you.com

shaggy4u.com

shaggyforyou.com

newshaggy.com

myshaggy.com

bestshaggy.com

One Central body Cranny. I think its Network Soloutions, although you can buy from many resellers, I used UK Reg for instance, but they are all controll by Network Soloutions.

 

You can view all registered domains by using an iwhois database www.iwhois.com

 

For instance

 

Domain name:

pigeonwatch.co.uk

 

Registrant:

William Mulholland

 

Registrant type:

UK Individual

ICANN (a not-for-profit entity) control domain names, hold overall controll over DNS, assign national domain name registries (like Nominet), accredit registrars and manages top level root servers and assorted jiggerypokery.

 

Network Solutions is a large registrar, that used to do this until around '98 as part of InterNIC. It was contracted by the US government to register domain names, thus having a monopoy on .com, .net and .org domain names. In 1998 both IANA and InterNIC were reorganised under the control of ICANN.

 

Now, since the formation of ICANN and privatisation there are many different registrars, about 500 accredited ones I think. Network Solutions remain the largest, and I think still have a monopoly on .com .net and .org domain names.

 

For example, a WHOIS for this site states "This WHOIS information is provided for free by Nominet UK the central registry for .uk domain names" "The previous information has been obtained either directly from the registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than Network Solutions. Network Solutions, therefore, does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness".

 

So the hierarchy for this site is ICANN > Nominet > Black cat networks.

 

I'm even boring myself now.

 

PS freeshaggy.com would get my vote.
