This week we're going to be launching pre-registration.  One feature of this is that we will be creating a "staging domain" for each pre-registered domain of the form <yourDomain><ourDomain>.

For example, we might buy xapp.cc, so if you register foobar.app, we'll make "foobar.xapp.cc" redirect to a URL of your choice.

Ironically, we're having trouble finding a nice domain!  We have registered xapp.cc as it's the best that we can think of right now, but I'm throwing it out there to see if anyone can think of anything better?

Another option is we use our main domain, e.g. foobar.dotappapp.com

http://iwantmyname.com/search/1?domain=xapp does searches across all of the very short domains.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt

dotap.ps is available. Not the easiest to describe verbally (need to distinguish between "dot" and "."), but no harder than dotappapp.com

That's a good one...

Any more for any more?

Why don't we go with just a domain like something.dotappapp-
staging.com?

Those domains like de.licio.us are pretty hard to remember properly.

I prefer the simpler .com domain option. In fact I hope its just
subdomain.dotappapp.com to get us started.
