Just Bought My Domain Name!

[Kitiara]

Hurrah! I've been putting this off for years, and I've finally done it. I am now the owner of nowingsnohalo.co.uk. :beam:

Suppose this means I'd better get my site finished, doesn't it? :)

[andr.in]

why yes it does! :) better get on to it!

[Kajinku]

Congrats... or something. ;)
I remember when I bought my domain name... I was happy too.
When do you think your website will be ready?

[Soul]

[Soul]

You're just asking for me to make fun of you, aren't you?

for how long do you get the 50 mb of space?

[Soul]

50 MB is loads! I only have 20 and thats fine for me :beam:

- Soul :s:

[TheOrangeOne]

dont put a forum up! i did that with my site, and the forum is now about 46Mb (thankgod i have about 200Mb)

[lava]

yeah... forums take up space... a lot of it.

[Kitiara]

Wasn't going to bother with forums, I hang out over here too much to bother with my own. :) It's all going to get taken up with art and Flash programs. :beam:

I can put my games up there! Just realised that! :P

[Soul]

No more hosting on Deviantart Kit :P

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

Good point, as I shouldn't be doing that. :blush:

[Marz]

Nah.. Forums for personal sites are almost unused.... Jus put up something like a small tag board.. Just so you can see people's comments...

:) Can't wait to see your site chica.

playamarz (btw.. I can help with the tagboard if needed)

[nobody]

Glad to hear it Kit.. can't wait to see it.. woo

Playa.. wanna help me do a tagboard:beam:?

[mdipi]

oh sweet thats good news kit! i got 100 and i think that too much for me. stuff just sits there. cant wait to see what you do!

[eilsoe]

congrats kit :) 'bout time!! :P


just send me a PM if you need help with anything ;)


(oh, and get WinCMD from download.com, it's free and hella kewl at FTP'ing f.i.)

[mdipi]

Smart FTP is better

[lostinbeta]

WELL IT IS ABOUT TIME KIT!!!!!

I saw the early work in progress layouts of your site way back when and I thought they looked great, I couldn't wait until you finished it. Then you stopped working on it and I thought you would never finish it!

I am glad to see that you are planning on working on it again, if you need any Actionscript/Javascript/HTML/CSS Coding help (although I doubt you will since you do that stuff for a living) you can feel free to ask me.

[mdipi]

do you have like a beta taht we can fool around with and see? besides you should get familir with ftp and all so...lol

[ahmed]

That's awesome.. can't wait to see the site done :)

[edit]

oh.. and.. what is a "nowingsnohalo"? :beam:

[Soul]

No Wings... No Halo :beam:

I didn't get it at first either lol! :P

- Soul :s:

[reverendflash]

Great kit!

Just shout should you need any help you little Smeghead...

:beam:

[ahmed]

haha i get it now.. kind of confusing, but still a nice name.. no wings no halo.. :)

[abzoid]

Congrats, getting your own domain is a great feeling. Mine was 5½ years ago and I still get warm fuzzies when I think of it. Just one drawback, if you use your domain e-mail addy you can no longer hide from the spammers by changing your addy.

I look forward to your site debut, should be great.

[Soul]

Kit its name is confusing people! :beam:

When telling people about it you should put it like this with the capitols...

www.NoWingsNoHalo.co.uk :love:

[dexa_007]

How much does a domain name cost these days??? You pay annually, correct?

[NaliWarCow]

congrats Kit, I know your site will be good.

I've just got a bit of money to raise (about $99,000) until I can get my domain name :(.

[Kitiara]

Wow, thanks for the response my friends. :) It's much appreciated. :beam:

Soul has a good point, the name is a bit confusing. :) But one of you guys suggested it in the first place, though I can't for the life of me remember who, right now. :blush:

It's based on the 'Angel' theme - since my other nick was 'London Angel', it's part of my name anyway, it's what my tattoo says, and it's what some people call me (though they always snigger when they do :P). So angels have wings and halos, but I don't, so er... Yeah. That's where it came from. :)

I'm planning on putting a PHP Shoutbox thingy on there... I've coded it in PHP, but would certainly appreciate any tweaks, since my PHP is a little scrappy at best. :)

Should have a basic version up on Wednesday. :)

And thanks again guys. I'll probably be grovelling for your skills in no time at all, and you'll wish you'd never offered. :P
