Today I bought the domain for our museum project: thefuturemuseum.com (though it’s currently just pointing into limbo), through my existing personal hosting provider, Dreamhost. It would have only taken a few minutes, if it weren’t for our preferred name being taken by a squatter (museumofthefuture), so we had to quickly come up with an alternative.
Time spent buying the domain: 5 minutes
Money spent: £6.39

Your day seems to have 12 hours in it not 24?
We like to think of it as a ‘long working day’. Plus, there’s two of us, so it’s more like ‘1 man day’.
And we like a challenge.
Why not use future.museum?

@Anonymous – we considered it but have decided (for now) on .com: it is an easier and quicker registration. We’re also unclear (and http://about.museum/register/ doesn’t seem to say) how much .museum domains are?
