question Which Domain Should I Use for My Personal Home Page?

[2002]

Within the past two days, I have registered two gTLDs. Two days ago I purchased Dazed Dot Net (which I'm currently trying to have appraised by NP in the Domain Appraisal sub-forum), and less than 30 minutes ago I purchased Httip Dot Com (note: don't visit this domain until around 00:00 UTC on 2017-07-19, as GoDaddy is currently experiencing technical difficulties and I can't access the domain's DNS settings).

My question: Which domain should I use for my personal home page? Yesterday, I set up the former domain name as my personal home page, but now that I found this (good?) .COM domain name I can't decide which is better. When making your recommendation, keep in mind factors including but not limited to Google PageRank.

Thanks, and I'm very interested to see what NP members have to say! I'm new here, but I think I'll be staying.

Thanks, @biggie. Is Httip Dot Com really a bad domain? My idea was to brand it as HTTIP Dot Com and post tips about using the Web, though I then started thinking about using it as my home page as well.

Your full name dot com? or even dot me?

well, you did ask for opinions

@LucidDomains I do have First Last Dot Com and Last Dot Info (the latter was my home page until I switched to Dazed Dot Net yesterday), but I was thinking about something shorter (and, if it makes sense, more valuable in the domain market). I actually learned a lot about .info's and read a long thread here before I registered for an account. Is it true they are frowned upon (by NP and Google)?

@biggie I value your opinion, though I must admit I thought I found something valuable at first (LLLLL.com with semantic qualities).

 

[biggie]

don't let the search for 5 letter .com confuse you

they are not all the same, nor do they have inherent value, just because


there should be some common sense usage taken into account.


imo....

between the two, I like dazed
sounds better, its short and memorable

@biggie I don't think I've ever searched for LLLLL.com's intentionally before. HTTIP Dot Com, to me, looked good. I was surprised when I saw it was available and bought it before researching LLLLL.com's. If you want to know why, it's because once I was about to purchase a domain I'd just found, but it was purchased by someone else before I could pay for it. I have no idea how that happened.

@tldboss Thanks for the feedback. My concern with dazed is it might have negative connotations to some people and it's a .net.

I forgot about another domain name I own: Mans [Punctuation] Life. I use it to host a WordPress blog at A [Punctuation] Mans [Punctuation] Life. Would it be better to use this domain for hosting my personal blog? I could redo the layout and back-end code to make it more like my new Dazed Dot Net blog.
