What's in a name?

According to the article, the whois database is the best place.

The nice thing that GoDaddy does is come up with atlernatives if the name you’re searching is taken, so you can see with one search whether the domain is available with multiple TLDs. Of course, it’s not so nice if that leads to squatting, but I remain skeptical that that happens.

I’m not against registering the top results (5, 10?) before a final decision in order to guarantee availability, assuming the price tag is not too high.

Hmm. With domain masking and forwarding, we could be all things to all people - everybody gets their own URL!

According to whois, there’s no match for waywardsrefuge.com, .net, .space, and .cafe. Waywardsrefuge.org results in a “not found” message.

Great! So go up to the post above where all the names are listed, edit it (it’s a wiki) and then add it to the verified names with a comment that multiple TLD variations are available. Make sure you remove it from the unverified list, if it’s there.

I thought you did the mega-edit of the list of names above, adding the explanation of how to use the wiki and all the names that got verified, but looking back on the tracked changes, maybe it was @ChickieD?

Anyway, you’re all my heroes.

For some reason I thought it was you - I guess I misread the notifications.

Still, you’re my hero. But not like @ChickieD.
