Games website

To seem professional, get a co.uk or a .com. Getting a .tk website is cheap, and doens''t seem any good.

I know, but I want to establish the website a bit more first. I also don''t have any easy way to pay, does .tk just sound cheap because you know that it is free? Or would things like .je sound cheap as well?

I don''t know how kmuch it is, but people with no money have them, it seems professional if you want to buy somehting of a site, you have an choice:
.tk
.com
I choose the .com

You may want to consider adding screen shots for all the games on your site; people are very unlikely to download a game without first seeing the screenshot.

Also, you may want to consider submitting your games to Game Jolt; they review freeware games. You could also submit your games to my site Freelance Games once you have the screen shots.

As for the web extension; it’s probably not good that your site as a popup add telling everyone that a .tk is free. Also, it is a lot of work to establish solid web traffic; it is not something that can be done without commitment.

I think I''ve managed to disable the popup now, if anyone still gets it then please tell me.

I know, it is very difficult. For now I am just sticking to posting about the website to try and get the number of visits up and hopefully some people will re-visit it.

A .com is merely a dollar or two a month nowadays.

I have .com, .net, .org. and .de for my site.

Hate to keep beating a dead horse, but definitely get a proper domain. Go over to godaddy.com and you can get one for 8 dollars a year. Small price to pay for the instant boost in credibility.

our crxgames.com only costs 6 dollars a year.

I had big trouble finding one myself with a good name. I wanted .com or .co.uk but all the good games type names had gone :( I really wanted Toymaker but Mattel have registered most of them apart from .info so I grabbed that.

If this ever gets *really* big you might get into trouble smacking Stephan Hawkings name on a title (I'm assuming) he never actually endorsed. [wink]

WARNING: If your read the EULA that comes with the game install you will find it also installs a pop-up ad program on your computer.

I would advise against such installation!!
