Back when I first started writing my blog over 11 years ago I did so using my scott.ac domain. I was pleased with myself to have gotten a domain with just my first name. Over the years I got too many questions about the .ac so i moved my online presence to other domains with the more traditional .com, .net, & .org. Oh how I thought powerz.org was a cool sounding domain name back in 2000.
With my recent changes I decided to make with regards to my web & email hosting I took the time to change the domain I use once again. This time back to scott.ac. Now a days there are literally going to be thousands of new domain names out there. I have bought a few myself. I realized then that with so many new TLD’s I still have one of the easiest domains I will ever get. So after that realization I went back to the domain name I have had the longest (since 1999, man I feel old).
My Feedburner feed will redirect to the new URL. I will once again (i have done this a few times in the past) take the hit and lose my google rankings while the site gets reindexed. I don’t really care about that. I am still surprised I get traffic on this site. I still enjoy writing even though i only just started writing again in recent weeks.
Of course I am a realist and I give myself 2 years before I decide to change things again.
