The-Web-Guy.net Domain Purchased

Description

When I first started this site, I didn't put a lot of thought into the name of the domain that I selected. Using my own name seemed like a pretty cool idea. Since that time, I the idea in the back of my mind that I would address it again at a later time. That time has come.

I registered the domain the-web-guy.net and a wildcard SSL cert through 1&1 (www.1and1.com).  There are a couple of reasons for this.

  1. To see what the process and configuration for mutliple SSL (secure socket layer) certifications would look like for one site.
  2. To generalize the website domain name and push toward a more broad keyword phrase.
  3. To see what kind of impact switching the primary domain of a website did to Google Search Results.
  4. To see if how long the domain change would take to recover from if there was loss in search positioning.
  5. To setup for some future experiments utilizing a three website structure.

    1. Primary keyword and subject domain. Example: www.the-web-guy.net
    2. Secondary organization/publisher website. Example: www.endhead.com
    3. Tertiary Author website. Example: www.bryan-myers.com

It may be a while before I can even start to think about implementing or playing around with some of these concepts and ideas, but atleast the domains are registered. :D
