Need a Little Domain Help...

    Well, I'm going to buy a domain for my site.

    Unfortunately, the site name is really long...

    Joey Jordison Fan Site

    Imagine that as a domain... joeyjordisonfansite.com Really long. Too long in fact. I have a few ideas, but everyone knows the site as its name. Recently I started making Chapters of the site for different US states and countries. I started making them as JJFS Arkansas or JJFS Germany, but jjfs.com is taken, so is .net and .org.

    So I thought of a few but I'm not sure which would be easiest to remember for a first time visitor.

    Here they are:

    www.jjfansite.com
    www.joey1.com
    www.jordisonfans.com

    There was another one but I can't remember, lol.

    Also if anyone can tell me a site that sells domains along with email service. I don't care if it is email redirection. As long as it can be @mydomain.com

    This is my first time buying a domain, so any info would really help!
    Thanks!

    choose a domain as closely related to your site content as possible

    If you site is aimed at providing information, why not consider having a .info domain. Furthermore, it is normally cheaper.

    .info is the same price, at least from the domain sites I've seen. It's 8.98 just like .com, .net and .org.

    I have thought about .info, but if my visitors are just like me, they would never think about the site ending in .info.

    I have thought about it and with help from some of my regular visitors I think I might settle on jjfansite.com or .net. It is very short and easy to remember. But right now I need to know if HostMonster is worth while. 4.95 for 36 months with free setup and free domain. I've never heard of them, so if anyone has seen a review or has used them, I'd like to know if registering with them is worth it.

    Does Godaddy have email forwarding or anything of that sort? I was told it does not.

    It does have Email. So I might try Godaddy,
