virtualre.al - cool domain name? :)

I couldn't take all this VR excitement any more (I have a Google search alert for "oculus rift" sending me daily alert summaries to keep me hyped!) so I just registered the domain name:
virtualre.al
What do people reckon, cool or pants?

p.s. waaaaaaiiiiiting for my DK2 (no DK1)
p.p.s. alerts like this are great.. try it

  • My apologies twitch for taking so long to reply. Thanks for the support! :-)
  • Just a few things that come to mind when I see the name.

    I do not like the .AL at all

    For me it has to always be .com and slightly possibly .net even in Canada we have .ca but I don't imagine many americans would search for a .ca name.

    Also what is the name Virtual Re? when your looking at the name it doesn't come off clean.
    Example: I was thinking of the name We R Vr (Didn't realize there was something simular WeArVr so ill have to come up with something else) But if you say it quickly We R Vr its sounds like WE RVR which I thought was kind of catchy..... HOWEVER if you look at how its written out WERVR it just looks like it would sound like WERE VER.

    So finally the end point.
    Suggest .com or .net
    something that is easy to type out and understand when you look at it.

    With Virtual RE the way it looks to me when its all together is Virtual Allure, then add the .al and for me im not sure im a fan.

    Sorry just wanted to give my thoughts as everyone has different ideas. ALSO please remember 1 thing if you did the website really well or the company or whatever then maybe it won't matter. But for the initial reaction that's what was going through my head. Hope whatever you do and whatever you go with is successful. Since we are all about the VR here we are family!!

    Remember that .AL domains are from Albania, so you need local presence for these ccTLDs as it is said here: https://europeid.com/domains/europe/albania/register-al/
