Fastmail: What is your favourite domain?

Agx · 10 Sep 2010, 03:44 AM

Hi!

What is your favourite web domain offered by fastmail?

I think that FASTMAIL.NET is the best.

And you?

I used mm.st because it's short. Since I like to do subdomains, it comes out to be

chipper AT user DOT mm DOT st

I use fastmail.net just because people have usually heard the .net top-level domain before. Before, when someone asked for my e-mail address the conversation usually went like this:

Them: What's your e-mail address?
Me: blahblahblah at fastmail dot fm
Them: blahblahblah at fastmail dot com?
Me: No, fastmail dot fm
Them: fastmail dot...?
Me: F
Me: M
Them: fastmail dot fm?
Me: Yeah

The one I like to use is ftml.net. Short and sweet, with a common TLD.

I use sent.com for all my addresses. Short, sweet and in the .com zone

Postpro.net is my favorite domain...

I once made the big mistake of using imap.cc people kept sending me email to imap dot COM and it took me a while to realize what was happening.

I'll go with any .com .net address thank you, no .cc, no .fm and no weird tailing.

my two favorite are sent.com and promessage.com. Both are easily spoken without confusion.

My first name is short, one syllable, and rhymes with "sent", so it's a really great combo for me.

That must be convenient, Kent! Or is it Brent? Assuming western names of course...

ha, close! Blip guessed it, it's Brent. Although years ago I spent several hours on the phone with Dell support, and the poor lady was not fluent in English. She kept pronouncing my name "Glent", even after I corrected her several times.

I couldn't believe it when my replacement hard drive came shipped to me with the name "Glent" on the shipping label!
