Changes
My webhost, KeenSPACE, is changing its name. It is now known as, or shortly will be known as, Comic Genesis. With this change comes a change in the site URL. While the current URL (@keenspace) will work for a while, I believe that it will eventually explode, be set on fire, and die via various other methods. Before that happens, I get to change it to either @comicgenesis or @comicgen. After I change it, the current URL will redirect to the new one.
Now, my question is this:
WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?
Why is this a problem? Both domains are good. Here's the benefits of each:
@comicgenesis is easier to tell people about ("Comic Gen" is easier to misspell or mishear than "Comic Genesis") and... yeah.
Meanwhile, @comicgen is shorter.
Alternatively, I could buy a domain name. If I do that, I could go with either http://www.samandeli.com, http://www.sameliadv.com, or something totally different.
Anyone with an opinion, feel free to post it here. In other words, please help me decide, as I'm an indecisive moron!

Well, I'd go with ComicGenesis, personally... It's too easy (if you're ever speaking the domain to someone) for them to make a mistake otherwise. Comic Jen? Comic Gen? You get the picture. Sacrificing a few keystrokes in terms of clarity may be a good idea. As an aside, have they said why are they changing names?
The third alternative, of course, would be to get a blog-savvy hosting provider who offers a free domain name with their hosting accounts *cough*... ;-)
If I recall correctly, they're changing the name because morons kept confusing it with KeenSPOT, which is something else.
If I get a domain, though, I can keep being hosted at Comic Genesis; I just need to tell them my domain name and they can link it to the site.
Indeed. Out of curiosity, what kind of specs do you get in terms of storage/bandwidth?
Infinite of both. It's quite the nice deal. The only catches are that you have to:
1) Run a comic on the site.
2) Don't hide things.
3) Don't use it as a filestore for MP3s and stuff.
4) Put an ad at the top of every page.
Dude, just whore yourself out for a while and get your own domain. i mean and also go with sameliadv.com because samandeli looks like sam an deli and we (or you really) are mos tcertainly not a deli you are a crappily drawn yet witty comic. i think....
you are a crappily drawn yet witty comic.
I take offense to that. I am not a comic!
Heh.
