Not totally sure if this goes here, please feel free to move it if it's wrong!
Anyway, I'm probably going to take up the offer in web hosting for a free domain and I'm having a lot of trouble choosing one. I just wanted to make this topic so people could give me some ideas! I want something different, possibly with the word vintage in it and I would prefer a .org
Any ideas? Thanks

This should be in Web Hosting...
Anyways, if you want someone to host you, make a topic in the Web Hosting forum and tell them the things that you want like the word vintage and .org thingies... Yeah...

I already have a subdomain, I just might take up the offer in a different topic that offers a free domain plus hosting. It seems too good to be true, but apparently it's not. This is about choosing the domain name, not getting hosted. That's why I was hesitant to put it in "web hosting" but whatever

Also, I'm thinking of something like "vintage-orchids.org" Do you guys like it? yes? no?
It's like two of my loves, vintage stuff and pretty orchids LOL

Do you have anything on mind, or maybe state some things you'd like the domain name to border around.

unless you are getting a subdomain, this probably wont help you much because that thread was fake.

Yeah, it turns out the person who made that thread couldn't REALLY get the free domain names. Just fork out 3-5 bucks and buy it, you don't necessarily need someone to give you a free one. Then if you do that, there are people in the webhosting forum who will host your domain name for you. Then you'll just hafta ask for the nameservers (ask your host) and change the dns settings for the domain name to point to them.
..Or you could pay your host to register the domain name for you.
Words that go with "vintage"...

vintagepop? :P

I dunno, I'm horrible at coming up with domain names. XD I like those though^. :)

I wouldn't do vintage-orchid.org because the orchid+org sounds redundant. What other types of things do you like? Like, I saw another domain thread once where she put a list of neat-sounding words (such as vintage, etc), and then we started putting them together until we found something catchy...
edit:
I just bought a domain recently, and it wasn't all that bad of a price, really. It sounds like much more than it is, so my advice would be go for it!
