Short Or Long Web Domain? Google & Duplicates.

Posted by Anonymous on 4/28/2009 at 10:13 PM ET 200 Points
Hello!

So we have this:
www.crossofglorylutheran.com
someone wants and we now have
[inactive link removed]
(cross of glory Lutheran baton rouge)
Or any other great ideas?

Which is better? Which should we use? The long one is a mouthful and a bit hard for print media (although we just printed some mugs/magnets with this...) the short one makes no since.

I understand goggle does not like duplicate domains?
Any way to keep both up for a while?


Thanks for any help!
-Amanda

    I like the long one. And in print, I'd write it like this:

    www.CrossOfGloryLutheran.com

    The shorter one doesn't do you any good, IMHO.

    COGBR...doesn't mean anything to anyone.

    I agree with Paul. A shorter domain is generally better but in this case no one in the parish will remember cogbr but CrossOfGloryLutheran.com is memorable. In fact, I had to look at cogbr twice while writing this but did recall the CrossOfGloryLutheran.com domain.

    Keep them both, and forward www.cogbr.com to www.CrossOfGloryLutheran.com
    Domain name registration is quite inexpensive.

    Yes, both....as Jay said. It's too cheap (like $10 per year) not to have both.

    Mainly use the long one, but what do YOU call your church? That's the one you want to use.

    And by the way...since it's $10, take the .org registrations also.
