I Hate My Domain Name

Seriously. I want a different one. But I’ve just finally managed to get to like..2 visitors per day. And if I moved, I would have to start aaallll over again.

Also? Captcha is damn annoying. I tried like 12 times to leave a comment on someone’s blog, and it kept telling me to enter the letters correctly..which I DID. Repeatedly. I am positively baffled because there was another comment on the same entry.

Also? My site has been loading insanely slowly, which you may have noticed if you are reading this. Thanks again, Dreamhost. Your incompetence knows no bounds.

    My site is going insanely slow as well and we’re on Dreamhost also.

    You could always use domain forwarding if you wanted a new domain.

    Plus, if you advertise (there is a plethora of free venues for bloggers) you can increase your traffic well over 2 per day in no time.

    I never realized how slowly Dreamhost worked until I tried to go into Wordpress and put a blog entry…which took 5 minutes to load. >_<;

    But like Laur said, you can try to go for domain forwarding.

    Well I guess you have to bring the visitors to your site, they cant find you because you need to advertise it somehow. I say just comment people, join a forum, or maybe link exchanges.

    Thanks for the advice, guys. My only concern with domain forwarding is the paid posts I’ve done - I don’t know if those companies would be okay with it, so I’ll have to look into that if I decide to switch names.

    I think I’ll be getting off of Dreamhost soon. They reel you in with that first year for cheap, but I can’t see paying full price to stay here. I’ve had too many issues with them.

    Hey,

    I guess with your traffic, there are lots of ways to increase it - e.g. comment on others’ websites, join exchanges, affiliates etc
