Webmaster would like your opinions for the site url. Here are the candidates:

reserve.co.uk
special.reserve.co.uk
specialreserve.net
SRDN.com

Note - we do not own specialreserve.com or specialreserve.co.uk

special.reserve.co.uk uses the space normally taken by "www", for the "special". The domain is actually reserve.co.uk.

SRDN stand for Special Reserve Discount Network.

The winning domain will be used across our site, so the url for UKgames.com would become http://specialreserve.net/ukgames (for example).

Of course entering http://UKgames.com would still take you to the same site. (if you follow me).

Please vote in order of preference e.g.

1. SRDN.com
2. special.reserve.co.uk
3. specialreserve.net
4. reserve.co.uk

Please actually list the urls, the numbers on the left are to indicate the order of your vote, and you'll have trouble posting the list if you do not put the numbers in front of it.

Why is that webby? - Don't we want lists posted?

Good point.

specialreseve.net is best as it's so bloody obvious. You should get all combinations of that. Come to think of it, you probably have.

Personally, I would have gone...

1. reserve.co.uk
2. specialreserve.net
3. special.reserve.co.uk
4. SRDN.com

1. Because its short... also shopping at a .co.uk site makes it feel more british... And not that your shooping on a site thats actually based in the US (or somewhere?)

2. This would have been first had it not been for the .net ... which, given its lack of use elsewhere makes it annoying to retype... If I had visited the site earlier in the day.. and was returning to purchase a game later on, I migh try typing in specialreserve.com then specialreserve.co.uk ... but it probably wouldnt occur to me to try .net

3. This is actualy my personal favourite... but Ihave had past experince, from people less familiar with the Internet... sometimes they think extra dots are impossible... even when they see it on the screnn, they'll still think the www.sepcial.reserve.co.uk isnt a real web addy...


4. I dont know what this is... Also I have enough trouble with special reserve being the same thing as UKGames, etc... They seem to be (especially as they are displayed on other web sites) seperate sites? ... Adding an anacrnym seems to confuse the situation more?

I dunno though?
