ITA Net Domain
Fri, 18 June 1999, 05:19 pmIn recent e-mails, Grant said:>it's well past time the ITA was slugged for purchasing a domain! i'm>pretty sure i could find someone to host it for us on a reliable server>>Did you want to get a groundswell of support going for our own>itawa.asn.au domain? :) it was still available last time i looked.>>Cheers>GrantAnd I said YES!At present, to get access to this web-site you have to type ina very long and hard to remember site address;http://cygnus.uwa.edu.au/~gmalcolm/ita/or use the intermitantly workinghttp://come.to/itawaOnce you have logged on and bookmarked the site then fair enough,but hands up all those out there that have tried to tell theirfrinds about the site and tried to remember that really long one,or maybe your one of those who regularly uses the come.to/itawalink and regularly find the site is MISSING?If the ITA claimed its own net-domain as Grant suggested;itawa.asn.auit would be as easy to remember as come.to/itawa but wouldwork as frequently as the really long one. It would also beanother step away from the AMATUER stigma and show that wecan be and are as good as so-called professionals, not justin our shows but in our attitude as well.I think this is a great idea, anyone else want to throwtheir two-bits?
Re: ITA Net Domain - Poll review
Tue, 22 June 1999, 02:46 pmOnly a few hours into the latest poll on registering a domain name for the ITA and the votes are coming thick and fast!So far, whether or not to register a domain is a non-issue; unanimously affirmative.However, votes are split 3 ways on the name we should use and someone has voted for "something else" but apparently not posted a suggestion here.I've been checking costs and hold out some hope that we manage a registration for "free". At worst, it would seem the ITA would be up for a minimal setup fee and then $100 per year thereafter.CheersGrant
