Revision as of 16:48, 20 March 2012
Participating in server naming is fun for all the family. For some value of 'fun'. BitFolk customers may suggest names for new servers; BitFolk picks one shortly before installation.
Naming schemes
BitFolk dom0 servers
Alcohol-related, preferably a brand or something else reasonably obscure. See previous choices for examples. You'll get the hang of it.
A good name is generally:
- Short
- Unusual
- Easy to type/pronounce
Please link to documentary evidence that there actually is an alcoholic beverage by your suggested name, if it's not obvious.
Your previous unused suggestions will carry over to the next round - no need to re-submit them.
Archive
- /Archive - 2010 and earlier.
