you buggar goughy
I wanted to register a golf domain about 4-5 years ago and Ozgolf.* was one of my prime choices, but were all taken, and so were several other variations. A quick check just now shows that so many are now available again, so i think its about time to claim one or two names.
Seems that the domain squatters are now letting go of all the domains they were sitting on and trying to sell, so if you wanted a name before, right now go have another look!.
right now golfer69.* is available at all top level domains!
So goughy you beat me to this one, buggar - and to think i had sympathy to you for leaving ISG
BTW who are you using for hosting? speed of the site is impressive,

ozgolf.com was available through a squater. The price was quoted as being anywhere between $599.00 and $10,000.00 .
Hence we opted on .net. Sorry mate.
Don't know why it's so fast. Maybe because there's not much on it yet
That would have to be the lamest excuse for an avatar I have ever seen

Only problem with a lot of the US guys is you can't always use a .au domain with them but a lot of the time that isn't necessary. The US hosting is often WAY cheaper than the Aussie Hosting companies.
Another good hosting company (if you want an aussie one) is
www.smartyhost.com.au . I have been using them for a couple of websites I am techie for and have had no problems. Their support is not always fantastic but for the most part they are great. They are more expensive however. Getting domains is fairly reasonable through them as an AU server.
I get all my domains from godaddy.com
Hope this helps!
(probably more than you wanted to know! LOL)
Far out you know your stuff Mrs goughy Mr goughy I hope you are taking this all in???

Thanks, the Ebay mob do look like pretty good pricing but I lost patience trying to wade through all the convaluted marketing. Whats wrong with a simple matrix of price and limits.
Though i like the reseller plans - there is some good opportunity there.
I have had my eye on Godaddy for a while, but for the sake of about $3 per domain I cant be stuffed - its easier to keep everthing in one place.
I use Aussiehosts.com for both hosting and registration who are a local company in Caboolture. Cheapest prices i have ever seen in australia for both local and overseas hosting, of which they have thier own boxes co-located somewhere. I only use the overseas plans cos they are half the price as you know.

same here - when i first started i was using some various free services, one of which had to organise your own seperate DNS host, which meant compiling your Zone file on your own - that was hard. Now that i can do all that I cant be bothered - so much easier to pay someone else to do it now.
Now all i have to do is work out how to compile a web page

I was just curious. It wouldn't be about switching anyway. We would still be ozgolf.net and any traffic for ozgolf.com would get redirected to .net.
I could get .org cheap.
.net.au is only available to lease.
.com.au has been registered but there isn't much on that site.
As I said, I was curious and found it interesting to look around.
