Question: "Why is this called ClubTheWord ?"

[James]

As I am now back to my former, happy within my, self again I thought I'd better revisit my response to Alasdair's question...

 

ClubTheWorld.uk came via hearing a friend at work talking about his newly aquired domain 'FunkTheWorld.com' - I quite liked it and it had a certain 'ring' about it. I also thought that it would be rememberable.

 

I ALWAYS go for a ".com" as this is pretty much the default that users will enter and again, easier to remember as there's nothing to remember (if you know what I mean). ".com" is more global in my opinion as its basilly "commercial" although strictly should just be for US companies. The UK ones should be ".co.uk" but I HATE this unless its for a UK specifc market.

 

I chose theWorld part because I personally DO want to visit many clubs whilst abroad on holiday in Europe, America and the far east. Who knows how many I will visit but Miami, San Fran & New York are definitely on the cards - all about money though which is why I'm hoping to build contacts around the globe and get cheaper accomodation - effectively 'time or house-sharing' for clubbers! hehe

 

I was going to get ClubbingNetwork.com ...

(real-time James mode ...) ok - f*ck it - just bought it. Decided I love the name / dont want anyone else having it - for the sake of £35 for 2 years from www.Easily.co.uk its worth it!!!

 

Ermmmnn, where was I ???

 

O yeah - basically I couldnt find anything else which I liked / was available as "ukclubbers" etc.... etc... had gone. To be honest I got bored of searching and everyone said "for f*cks sake take clubtheworld.uk its easier to remember than your other suggestions.

 

I cant make any promises about "TheWorld" part but I at least intend on making the new version of the site International and an engine applicable to ALL clubbing-music genres - so please dont tell new members who are into other scenes to go away ! We may end up having distinctly seperate forums for different genres.

 

Hope this helps - boss just came back gotta go!

ClubTheWorld RULES and always will!

 

It denotes long term ambition to Club The World!

How much webspace have you got? I got the name www.aptrecordings.com for $19.95 for 2 years, but that with no webspace, only email, but I already had some.

Creamy: AGREED - I what I love/hope is that people KNOW we are in this for the luv of clubbing ONLY.

 

OMS: Right... here I go...

Easily do the .coms for £35 for 2 years - I got 5 years because they felt bad about the service over a couple of days when I first bought it!! Easily are clued-up - they are 20-something geezars near me in Farringdon and KNOW how to run a business - this is where I want to get to.

 

You get 100MB disk space with the initial £35 and 5gigs data transfer. You then "pay as you go" - I've bought a further 200MB and have about 300MB at the moment - NOT ENOUGH for my future ctw plans so moving to a friends hosting server so Paul and I can have our OWN virtual server, leading to our own server which WE will run / have FULL control over - and then start selling hosting ourselves as a side-line. On one box you can get 1000s account - charge clients £100 a year and that £100,000 / annum for sitting on your arse!! My mate (who's server I'm moving to) is semi-retired and will be retired by the age of 30 most likely. All his holidays are paid for and he's deliberately having a child ASAP with his new wife - head screwed on - sort your finances out first then have children! Why am I telling you this ?! I dont want a rival - hehehe!

 

Paul and I are in the process of setting up OpenNet Hosting Ltd & OpenNet Design Ltd - both being directors. I am director of ClubTheWorld.uk Ltd. My dad's a solicitor and set it all up for £20 !!

 

If anyone wants any help setting up sites let me or paul know. CTW will hopefully act as a 'catch' site so a) can remain free / not filled with adverts and give us some exposure to get paid-work.
