domain names

It appears we are going to settle on Pr-more Family.org as the domain name.

I think we should also register the names Prigmore, Predmore, Pridmore and Pridemore Family.org while we are at it and have them all lead to Pr-more.

Should we also do the short form of Pr-more.org with the four names? How about covering all of the above on .com?

At a minimum we should do Pr-more Family. UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and France while we are at it if this does not break the bank.

  1. So far, we have registered:

    Pr-moreFamily.org
    PrmoreFamily.org
    Pr-more.org
    Prmore.org

    Cost about $9 a pop per year.

    Currently available:
    PrigmoreFamily.org/.com
    PridmoreFamily.org/.com
    PridemoreFamily.org (but not .com)
    PredmoreFamily.org (but not .com)

    Give me the go ahead and I'll register. We'll either worry about reimbursement later or you can call or send me cc details.

    For search engine purposes, it's very important we pick and consistently use one address publicly. The others are for mark protection and can be forwarded to the correct location.

    There is no search engine benefit to owning these names. A possible benefit could be offering free email addresses to association members.

    In case you are wondering, the simple last-name-only.org's and .com's are not available. Lucky ones registered those years ago, and probably wouldn't sell them unless offered a sizeable amount ($5,000-$15,000 each).

    As for the international names, the following are easy to register:
    .org.uk
    .ca
    .de

    Australia (.org.au) and France (.fr) required a registered business and/or trademark within their country.

    Please advise.
