robijntje I'm thinking of getting a new domain name since I dont really like my current one (geheimesite.nl). I was thinking of something like robijntje.io (which is my nickname online), but I might regret that later, and to keep the permalinks working I'd have to redirect to a new domain which means I'd have to pay for the domain forever. I was also thinking about something like robinboers.org, but it seems a bit boring. I'd like something

aaronpk when i've done domain name moves before, i set up redirects from the old domain and keep it running for like 3-4 years after i stop using it, and then i've let it expire after that. i figure that's enough time for search engines to update indexes and by then most old links elsewhere are probably irrelevant

robijntje Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for the info. I think I might use .dev or .eu instead.
