******.mac.com
OK, on a lot of websites that people sign up for (such as <a href="http://www.livejournal.com" target="_blank">www.livejournal.com</a> ) it is possible to make your website easyer to type by putting your username before the domain name (i dont know if these are the right terms...) example: psantora.livejournal.com (doesnt work because it costs extra $..im cheap) as oppose to <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/psantora/" target="_blank">www.livejornal.com/users/psantora/</a>
My question is, why doesnt Apple do this with iTools? It would be 100Xs easyer to type psantora.mac.com instead of homepage.mac.com/psantora/ and my friends would stop buggin me about my "confusing mac website" (it really isnt all that bad...)
Is it technically impossible? too expensive for a free service?

It's ten bucks and looks way more professional, way less lame.
Really... it's that difficult?

well we are talking about friggin retards here... no seriously, it just seems simpler to me...
as for the domain-name idea, it only costs $10 to register a domain name??!?!?!?!? since when?! i was under the impression it cost like $80 for 2 years and you had to pay like $50 every 2 years after that?!?
I suppose xxxx.mac.com would be easier, but I really dont see it as a big deal as i hardly ever write it, so most of the time its just a click away anyway.

anyways, where can i get these cheap domain names? and can i just redirect them to iTools sites x/o having to pay for bandwith and a server?
and for web space try downtownhost.com They have plans starting at like $7.99 a month.
Webspace and domains USED to be hella expencive. Not anymore
