Dashes in URLs

[Nightfire]

Been a long time since I last looked at this, but I've got a URL to my club which is pretty long and we call the club RMC as it's easier, but that url is gone and no doubt will be expensive. So I was looking at r-m-c for a name, but do people remember url's with dashes in? Any other suggestions on what I can do to save people getting finger ache from typing the main long url?

Something like - ClubRMC, Club-RMC, RMC-something... sounds good and are short. I was going to suggest RMC-UK but the url would end up RMC-UK.uk and that probably would cause confusion.

I suppose I should say what RMC stands for, would help really lol. It stands for rebel motorsport club, so not sure if I can add extra words on it really. We should've thought about the name and problems it'll bring a long time ago lol

How did you determine that http://www.clubrmc.uk is taken?

It looks available to me.

Even http://www.clubrmc.com is available.

If it were me, I would buy both of them.

You'd buy both, even though the C at the end stands for club? It'd be like this place being called codingforumscoding

I think there is some rule in the english language about saying club even though the c stands for club. Like why it is ok to call it ASP pages even though the p stands for pages.

Fair point ;) I'll ask others in the club if they like clubrmc.co.uk etc :)

you better have bought the urls before spitting them here. if someone thinks they make money, it will be gone in 2 seconds.

as to the original question, i havent seen any urls with dashes in them for my travels, so it would probably be a hard one for me to connect with unless i bookmarked it.

My opinion ... no dashes or numbers. Just letters, all small letters,
though that makes no difference ... just easier to visualize when trying
to remember.

I think www.clubrmc.co.uk (or clubrmc.com) is easy and I can already
visualize how cool of a logo or graphics you could make with that ...
the "club" being a different font than "rmc" with some great graphics.

I really would buy both of them, then people could find it easily with
both URLs (.com being easiest for Americans and such to remember).

Don't think of your website as just for your club. You may provide
information that is valuable to anyone in the world ... isn't that the
whole point of the internet?

How about rebelmc.co.uk
