It's going to be for my latest (insane) idea, my flight sim web site.

aceofhartz.com

I used ace because that's what a great combat pilot is, and hartz because that's my last name.

Yes world, let me introduce myself to you, my name is Tobey Hartz. :2cool:

Now all I need is some nose art like this, with a redhead holding an ace of hearts, and I have an insignia for my website.

Nothing at this point, it's parked. I'm going to get a DSL line with a static IP in a month or two, and host my site and my dad's site on it.

I'm in the process of building a web server right now with Win2K Server and Exchange 2000 so that I can have my own email too.

I think tobey@aceofhartz.com is gonna be way cool.

Plus agentbeast and Indy have been helping me a lot, I'm going to give them an email too, if they want it.

I think the idea was to have the site be semi to completely private off the bat. For Flight Club members only.

It is fun to poke around register to see what is available. I discovered a dentist in the UK has taken orlans.org. His name is Stephen and he has a brother named David who is also a dentist. Apparently, his family immigrated to the UK from the same area of Poland as mine.

Register.com is rather expensive at 35 dollar per annum, however I find that it is easy to redirect addresses with their service. Has anyone had better luck redirecting with other services?

I use GoDaddy.com web site registration and hosting for my personal domain. It's DIRT CHEAP and reliable.

I highly recommend it.

Congrats on your personal domain! <thumbs up>

Originally she was holding a cigarette, but I found a suitable card to place in there instead.

Classic look, nose art appropriate.

Hey y'all thanks for the graphics.

Ghost I really like the one that you did, is that one you did or is it somebody else's picture? Just curious because I might use it.

Chris those pics are cool too, I might find a way to skin them onto a plane.

Looks like a Vargas

It IS a Vargas girl. Like I said, she originally had a cigarette in her hand, I just put the card there, which, btw, is actually a photograph of an old playing card.

Namecheap.com isn't too bad and it's pretty cheap.

Thanks for the link, Chris, I was looking for a good Vargas link last month, believe it or not. Yours was perfect, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
