Actually, is .com still only to be used for commercial sites? I forget.
I think that hasn't been the case for years, now, and anyone who's pretending otherwise is deluding themselves.
.com .net .org are pretty much interchangeable now, in my opinion; I don't think anyone is seriously suggesting they be restricted to commercial sites/network infrastructure providers/non-profit organisations (respectively); that horse has left the stable.
(Though it's true that having a non-profit organisation take a .com domain still seems a bit unusual, and I think .net is the least used of the three big ones.)
I thought so too, but there's an afuna on myspace and flickr who *is not me*, omg.
Bluh? Wow!
I am tempted, but one reason I'm springing for a vps is to be able to run certain types of nonweb-based servers.
Ah yes, you wouldn't be happy at NFSN with that - no persistent processes of any kind.
However... that site is seriously nifty.
It is! At least I think so.
I checked them out when I found out they host bugmenot.com, and thought it was pretty nifty. Now they host all my sites but one, and DNS for one domain. (And I'd host my other main domain there, too, if DENIC didn't have silly rules about name server IP ranges.)
