I've Just Purchased CommodoreScotland.com !!!

[Franko]

Oh dear... I was looking round the net to find out how someone can use the Commodore name. I think I've made a boo boo

I came across a site where you could purchase Domain names and now after paying the princely sum of £17.61. I now seem to be the proud owner of CommodoreScotland.com

I now seem to have a website of some sort called CommodoreScotland.com and haven't got a clue about what the f**k to do do with it.

Anybody any idea what on earth I've just done, or am I going to discover that my bank account is going to be empty this time tommorow...

Don't have a clue about setting up a web site but I'm now wondering if it's all legal or am I heading for a law suit from whomever legally owns the commodore name.

Think Id better take some more of my medication now, cos right now I'm starting to get a bit twitchy... :nervous:

HEEELPP.... :eek:

Maybe use it as a recruiting site for the Royal Navy.

No problem. Go to your local big-box computer store, buy some PCs, print some C= labels, and you're in business.

How about a blog about the good ole' Commodore Amiga?

Get a Wordpress or Typepad account (They're FREE, as in beer) and have the name point to the URL for your blog?

Just remember to post stuff now and again.

You got ripped off ;-)

LOL, even in Ireland we don't pay that much to an Irish company for a domain... I think the last one I bought I paid €15 for.

But the blog account is a good idea, or start a user group in Scotland and use it as their website. Or, find an existing usergroup and donate it to them - I'm sure they'd appreciate it

There are loads of tools & stuff in the account for setting up a web page, advertising etc... but its gonna take me some time to figure it out.

Wonder if I could make it a free for all for everyone to comment on the whole sad Commodore story and to vent their views on all things commodore...

Think I'll give that a try... be back in few minutes and let you know...

This could be the start of a new hobby...

[persia]

At least you got a dot COM, C=USA is trying to operate from a dot NET....

[Franko]

Seem to be spoilt for choice on the Amiga front...



This is starting to eat into my pc funds, that I asked about in another thread...

[mousehouse]

You could just redirect all traffic to the domain to amiga.org ;-)

edit:
There are a lot of parties that register domains for you... several I know do it for €6 / annually.
