myprayerbox.com is available

[follindown]

I also like scripturedprayer.com, but myprayerbox probably would be easier for a spanish speaker to find.

[Soyokaze-42]

I added some AC to be clear about when this is done.

[asherlloyd]

One thing to consider here is branding across multiple TLDs. See the below for examples:

Available Domains	.com	.net	.org	.app
myprayersbox	✅	✅	✅	✅
myprayerbox	✅	✅	❌	✅
prayerbox	❌	❌	❌	❌

Maintaining ownership over multiple domains is more expensive but it also helps establish stronger branding and presence online. It also prevents confusion with other brands that share the same second-level domain but a different top-level domain.

I hate myprayerSbox with all my heart. That 's' feels super awkward to me.

[kenancasey]

This may be too gimmicky but prayto.day is available. Even though it's clever, I fear it's not easy to communicate or precisely remember since the .day TLD is uncommon.

[follindown]

I don't like prayto.day or myprayersbox. I agree with Asher that it should be available across multiple platforms. I am not in love with myprayerbox, but it is better than most I've thought of. I like scripturedprayer better but I am afraid it will be hard for Spanish speakers to find. I will brainstorm some more and then in the next day or so put forth some names for you to vote on. I value your opinions.

[Soyokaze-42]

I'm not a fan of gimmicky names, but prays.ing is available.

[benjoeclark]

Do you have a recommendation for where to register; do we need to bundle it with hosting?

[kenancasey]

I like namecheap.com. @asherlloyd @Soyokaze-42 What do you use?

[Soyokaze-42]

I use Namecheap, too. They have been solid for 15 years ish for me. RobbieOn Dec 18, 2023, at 7:42 PM, Kenan Casey @.***> wrote: I like namecheap.com. @asherlloyd @Soyokaze-42 What do you use?

I've been using Google Domains for about 7 years but they just got bought out by Squarespace. My vote would be namecheap as they seem pretty fair and their console is nice.

[asherlloyd]

I recommend Linode (now part of Akamai) for server hosting. They offer a shared CPU option for a flat rate of $5 monthly. Check out their pricing calculator for more information. DigitalOcean also offers similar services.

[follindown]

My top picks: scripturedprayer.com (available in net, org, and app), prayingnow.org (available in net and app--too expensive for .com), myprayerbox.com (net, org, app), plannedprayer.org (net, app), prayerq.org (net,app), prayverse.org (net,app), prayhisword.org (net,app). Vote please, although I reserve veto rights.

[benjoeclark]

My vote (in order): scripturedprayer.com myprayerbox.com prayhisword.org

[follindown]

So here are some new ones I thought of last night. However, since this could go on indefinitely, I am committing to picking one by tonight.

• ahabitofprayer(com,net,org,app)
• promptedtopray (com,net,org,app)
• aprayerhabit (com,net,org,app)
• shapedbyprayer (com,net,org,app)
• liftyourprayer (com,net,org,app)

[follindown]

And the winner is: scripturedprayer.com. Ben will be purchasing the domain. So I lob this into his court.

[benjoeclark]

Domain name has been registered.

I love it! Progress!!!
