Just Bought My First Domain!!!

[theantiquetiger]

Everyone may know I started my own collectors' website, but have been using proboards as the host.

I finally called "GoDaddy.com" and bought theantiquetiger.com. They were cool as hell, set it up, made it to where when someone types in that web address, they get redirected to my forum on proboards.

They said it will be a few hours before it kicks in.

It was only $40 for three years (good buy I guess, I am ignorant of these things)

My birthday present to myself!!!

Congrats. Considering they set it up too, it's a good deal.

aren't domain names like $5 a year?

aren't domain names like $5 a year?

I don't know, but there is a bunch of stuff I can do with my domain through GoDaddy (if I ever use them)

Like I said, I am ignorant of this stuff

This was $13 a year, certified (what ever that means)

Setting up a site or getting a domain?

They are both pretty easy. Proboards is step by step, you just need to design it yourself.

as for the domain, ask GoDaddy, I don't know!!!

i have a site with go daddy s2000wireless.com (my dad's company) and one with yahoo bruehoyt.com (it is pretty much a placeholder until I decide to actually do something) i prefer yahoo I used to spend a bunch of time making superherophotos.net but let the site go 5 years ago (i found some of it on the way back machine recently)- i have a mobile me site too but that isn't really the same

domain name registration is rolled into both services - it is $15 a year or everyother year (can't remember for sure)

[theantiquetiger]

OK, I cannot go to my own website!!!

If I use the old route, I can still go, but if I type in just theantiquetiger.com, it is blocked and said not encrypted.

I called goDaddy, no help.

I tried both Firefox and Explorer, no help.

Any ideas?

It takes me to a midget porn site. That's not right, is it?

Thats it. Even with midgets, LSU can beat U of Miami!!!
