I’ve been kinda thinking about getting a real domain name that would point to my blog for a while now, but never really thought long and hard about it. Then today dotster.com had a deal going for 50 cent domain name registration. Heck, that’s almost as good as free!

Being a guy that has a hard time passing up a good deal, that got me thinking a little harder about a domain name. thornton.com is taken, as is davidthornton.com. davethornton.com is taken as well, but davethornton.net is available. Hmmm.

Then it hit me; davintosh.com! I started using davintosh as a username when I got into AppleFritter.com, and since the moniker identifies me with the computers I know & love best, that ought to be the name for my site. So look for www.davintosh.com to point to these pages sometime very, very soon.

Update: Well, I’ve got the domain name, but one thing I didn’t realize is that my hosting service will support only one domain name. Adding a second domain name would cost $2.00 a month, which is a little steep considering the service I have now is only $2.95 a month. I could also upgrade to the next package for the same $4.95, which would give me two domain names, twice the disk space and twice the bandwidth (like I’m maxing out what I have now; right!)

So for now, I think I’ll just park davintosh.com and think over the added cost. It’s not that terribly much, but is it worth it just for vanity’s sake?
