Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Harringay Online it’ should now be time now to revert to a .co.uk …
With Trump back in, (I suggested it last time, but seemed to be removed.) We do come under American media law with a dot com. The dot com can be retained, but content should be directed and retained on a .co.uk portal, so we are either not liable under American law, but be under British jurisdiction. Just a reminder, what is the thought from our legal minds in this area ?

Liable for what?
But if there really were a need to change then '.Clive.UK' would be the most appropriate suffix.

Had the .co.uk domain (http://harringayonline.co.uk) and several other variants for many years, Matt, but since I started with harringayonline.com, it's just easier to stay with it as the primary address.

Hugh, by any chance do you have any LCSP* domains ? They really could do with a simple website, at a minimum to advertise the next meeting, post agenda and minutes and manage the mailing list. I offered to help but was told it's too complicated.

No, I don’t, but I remember from when I was trying to shorten a domain name for a small business I ran, I found that the fewer letters you have in a domain name the more expensive it is. A four letter one is probably very expensive. It’s quite easy to check out costs on something like GoDaddy.

GoDadday shows this result for "LCSP".

lcsp.uk - £1.00 then £12.83 on fasthosts
I was going to help set up a new email address for LCSP because the password for the old account got lost.
But that turned out to be a drama in itself so I stepped back and let them get on with it!

That’s another part of your Christmas list sorted then. (I’m surprised the price! Not sure what I was looking at 15 or so years ago then, but I have a very distinct memory of the low character number domains being very pricey.)

Hugh I'm sure you're right about low character number domains being very pricey. More recently there have been made available many new domain names that people may not immediately recognise. But unless a proposed domain name is really long, dot com still normally commands a premium.
