<slight irony>I have used .home my self, now I would take something that nobody would ever think of using in the "real" world, in old days I did consider .xxx, that is now a whole other thing than just something odd. Generally you may want to consider the new options for people to make actual TLDs to be their company name. At the start of the course, you could make a draw among the students and use the selected persons first name, that any coming thing like mdsn would use that is not very likely. It also draws attention to the significance of those letters.</slight irony> On 08/05/13 19:33, Jeremy P wrote: > I understand letter of the law, spirit of the law and playing it safe > to avoid headaches. > > However, there are times where registering a real domain just isn't > practical.
