Changing internet service providers caused a domino affect for my websites and blogs. The upside to all this is that we now have high speed internet in our hillbilly homestead. One of the things I did not anticipate was the loss of my web storage space on telusplanet.net. Now that I have nowhere to put files, I’m looking at a web hosting service. I think I will post an entry on the Jack of Trades Journal about how I choose one.
For now, I’m going to live with a mitt full of broken links on both my sites. I’ve already been looking for a hosting site and there are lots of good ones out there for very little cash output. I want a Canadian hosting provider with head offices in Canada which seems to dictate a higher cost for the service. I would have already signed up with one provider except I can’t decide on a domain name!
Oh, I know all the rules for picking domain names. My previous employer, uogc.com never listened to me about domain management. Two years after I left they emailed me to ask where the domain was hosted! That’s how on the ball they were. In order to follow my own advice I’d pick a domain name that was available in all top levels (ie .com, .net, .ca, .info, etc, etc) and register the most popular ones. I don’t have the cash to do that. So, it’s gonna be a .ca domain. www.hepburn.ca belongs to a town in Saskatchewan, and the website is horribly unfinished! I should call them and tell them if they can’t do a website right, than give me the domain! Honestly, I don’t think my version would be any better.
I think I’ll have a contest. Name the domain Contest. The winner gets to say “Yah, I came up with that name.” when I’m dead and famous. Comment here with your domain name idea.

Wow buddy, you have some significant spelling and or gramatical errors here! I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass but the teacher in me just could not let it go! You're at a Canadian site, not Your at a Canadian site.
Mr Anonymous;
Since there are 3 people in my extended family that have teaching backgrounds, I cannot tell which lurker you are. I have requested assistance from numerous people in my family to help with editing this and other sites I publish. Nobody has helped – until now. Changes were made immediately after reading your comment.

Ya know…it could be that the hillbillies in Saskatchewan didn’t have high speed internet either…so I will now be watching, with great interest, to see which Hepburn group will wisely wield a wonder of a website.
