Hey everyone, I got a special deal for a new custom domain name since my personal site is renewing soon. I wanted to know what you guys think about getting the custom domain for our site so it's www.poirotcafe.com?

I think that's really cool, makes it feel like the site is becoming more official //nodnod

I think I'll get it starting December. How's that sound? It'll be about half a year since the forum was open so it seems like a good time to switch it over.

That sounds like a great idea. I think it'll be a good way to commemorate our anniversary! So there won't be the proboards part in the URL anymore?

Yup, that's right. It'll last for a year as just www.poirotcafe.com and then I will probably just continue to renew it. Since the hosting is free, just getting the custom name is quite cheap. So I think it's a good investment and present to everyone here.

Just a notice: I will be switching the forum to the custom domain name www.poirotcafe.com on December 1. I will probably do this later in the night for me so like 3am PCT (10pm EST). I'm not certain we will experience any downtime because of this. I haven't read anywhere that there would be. I've read that the current web address poirotcafe.proboards.com will continue to work in addition to poirotcafe.com. So you should be able to keep your bookmarks the same or update them in December. I will let everyone know otherwise.

Yeah, it's called domain forwarding. Business also use this sometimes. It also helps because people with old links to this site or old bookmarks can still easily be able to get to the site.

So then we'll just be redirected to poirotcafe.com then?

The forum now has the custom domain name. www.poirotcafe.com is working! From now on I'll be advertising the site as such. I did this early because I was right in that there was no down time for the site. And I'm kinda tired so I didn't want to forget.

Cool! Oh wow, it doesn't even have the "www" in front of it?

I think most browsers remove that because it's implied, but it's still there ^_^

Yup, both will work. And like I mentioned, poirotcafe.proboards.com will still work too (but newbies won't need to know that )
