I often get complaints about my domain name. Is it that hard to spell my surname? I guess it’s a bit of a strange one.
People seem to think that my first name is Seb-Lee but it’s not; Seb is my first name and Lee-Delisle is my surname.
But seeing as people seem to call me Seb-Lee (and close friends even sometimes call me Sebly), I’ve now registered the domain seb.ly and it’s set up to point here! It’s a full redirection service, so think of it as a short URL. 🙂
And hopefully that’ll help with the typing…

Leave some domains for the rest of us!
hehe sorry Seb, I got in quick 🙂 Pretty sure there aren’t any other top-level seb domains available, but I particularly wanted seb.ly because it kinda sounds like my name 🙂
May I ask, what does that cost to have the re-direct?
The domain name is $75 a year, .ly is actually from Libya! I’m pointing it at my mediatemple server and then I just have an .htaccess file at the root that forwards everything.
You’ve refactored your name – like it!
$75 A YEAR? That’s robbery…. It’s $10 here. What makes this so expensive?
It’s $10 a year for .com and other domains, but .ly is from Libya and there are only a few places that you can get them. I for one am glad that it’s so expensive – otherwise I’d very much doubt whether I could get a top level seb domain from there! And it’s a lot cheaper than seb.tv (currently available from a reseller for $4500!).
