ruhungry4pi.com

The best domain name registered with domain.com, isn't it?

Comment

Inspiration

This challenge brought out the creative side of me that had lain dormant. We generated tons of puns about raspberries, hack, RU, Rutgers, and pi and ended up with this domain name in a moment of brilliance.

What it does

It is a domain on domain.com that is developed but isn't currently hosted by domain.com because that would cost money.

How we built it

Brain dumps and the creation of many, many ideas.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest problems we faced, however, did not have to do with puns. It was domain.com. We had heard the horror stories from others, but we foolishly disregarded their advice. Four website creation attempts leading to an “under review” status later (a twenty four hour process), we’d had enough. After a thirty minute call, an online chat session and a couple of emails later, we finally got the domain ruhungry4pi.com registered to our team. To actually access the site on the web, however, was an insurmountable problem. We learned that owning a domain name did not automatically qualify us to have the site hosted, so our site appears to be a spam site, despite the work put into the web design. After several more email and chat conversations, we’d spoken to somewhere between eight and nine representatives from domain.com. This challenge was never resolved, but we are simply choosing to use the preview function on the web development tool as a proof-of-concept.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The magnificent blend of puns.

What we learned

Nothing new.

What's next for ruhungry4pi.com

Maybe domain.com will allow the site to be hosted, allowing us to develop it more for another purpose.
