[Harmonia]

Arghh! I'm still stucked at times, trying to figure out the many registar's shortform. Anyone able to provide a list of short forms? Example will be, GDD = Godaddy.com (i think). Thanks

I'd be glad to try and answer, but I'm afraid I don't understand the question! What is a shortform? And how does it apply to a registrar? And waht are you trying to get done?

Sometimes in threads, people tend to use shortforms to represent certain registars. Example, someone will say "Godaddy has good bargains!". But instead of using that, he might use "GDD has good bargains!". I just wanna know what're the various "shortforms of registars or words in this forum, Thanks webcat

i think different people use different ones!

these are the ones i use.

NC - Namecheap
EN - Enom
GD - Godaddy
RS - readersheds.co.uk

but of course someone else will provide different version!!!

There's really not an authoritative list of abbrev. Sometimes, people are just too lazy to type in the whole word, but hey, it's just one word mostly, and I don't see how using EN saves you much time instead of eNom, and esp. when GD COULD mean not only GoDaddy but also GreatDomains (not a registrar though) or even GiantDomains! LOL! :laugh:

 

[Harmonia]

Hahaha! Ohh...so EN means enom for registars. It's alot of shortforms indeed. Maybe the forum should have an official list of them

Flora, a more common word than "short form" is abbreviation. :wink:

NW= NameWinner
NC=NameCheap
WWD= WildWestDomains
RF=RegisterFly
NSI= NetworkSolutionsInc.
BD=BuyDomains
DNF= DNForum
BS= Excretorial byproduct from a large male bovine.

and best of all......
WC=WebCat :cheeky:
