I've been thinking if I should get my own domain for this blog. I did it for my other blog, why not for this one? Well, I was going to do it at first, but then I had a bad experience with the other one. :(
I found out that Google use different registries so when you choose to customize your blog, you may end up having a domain registered to GoDaddy.com, Enom.com or some other registry. I know what you are thinking "So, what?" Well, not if the registry wants you to pay extra $ to keep your registry info private.
That is exactly what happened to moi. My domain was registered by Google through Enom.com. Lo and behold, I saw my personal info laid out on the WHOIS page for all of the world to see (including low lifes such as spammers, etc.) Yup, my whole name, home address, phone number and email address was all on that page. D*%#! So I went to Enom and found out that their privacy service costs extra. D*%# again!
So now I am having second thoughts of getting a domain for this blog. *sigh* I guess I do not have any choice but to bite the bullet and pay my hard-earned blogging $ to Enom. :(
Well for now anyway, I still do not have any domain name in mind. What do you think a good domain would be for my blog? Kusinerasaamerika.com is too long in my opinion. How about kusineraUSA.com or kusineraUS.com? Any suggestions?
mareng barb, kusineraUSA.com est parfait! wink*
