Need to decide on a domain name. From the Guidelines

• Use a .eu domain name for your project's website. (If a .org _{.net or .com domain name has already been registered, please also register the .eu version and use a "301 redirect" to direct traffic from the other domain(s) to the .eu domain).}

• it is strongly recommended that the domain is registered for at least 2 years beyond the project's end date. Domain registration charges can be charged to the project budget.

Hi Lois,

I think the web/internet has seen a move away from including additional punctuation marks (such as hyphens) within domain names as they can be a pain to enunciate during, for example, telephone conversations. Would you say metafor-dash-climate or metafor-hyphen-climate? A small point I know, but potentially a nuisance one!

In which case your suggested domain name would be www.metaforclimate.eu.

Here are some other suggestions:

www.metaforproject.eu www.metaformodel.eu www.metaforgroup.eu

And my personal favourite, which (amazingly) appears to be available...

www.metaforportal.eu

Good point.

Portal sounds a bit jargony to me...

Thanks - I do like

www.metaforproject.eu www.metaforclimate.eu
