Just thinking out loud here... why is Sanctus1 a .co.uk domain? I've just checked and .org and .org.uk are available.
Should we move from the commercial to the err... organisational?

The root TLDs ceased to have any meaning years ago when they relaxed the rules allowing companies to buy .org domains.
We *should* at least register the .org, .org.uk, etc. even if we don't use them - stops domain squatters sitting on them and demanding huge payments if we want to use them later.
But they would retain meaning for anyone using our website address - in the sense that someone might think we're a profit making business rather than not.
And yes, someone should defo snap up the org addresses - although I think it unlikely that someone will squat on them (it would be difficult to expect a huge payout from a church).

and who is that 'someone'? how about you tell us the cost of the domains and then we'll get some cash off the treasurer.
www.sanctus1.lev
Domains cost about £7 a year to keep.
Total cost for sanctus1.net, sanctus1.org and sanctus1.org.uk registration for the next 2 years is about £40 ($79.94).
It's worth noting that sanctus1.com has already been taken by someone else.
I can register them & redirect them to sanctus1.co.uk any time.. just takes 5 minutes if there's a treasurer to extract cash off..
Skills and being prepared to take responsibility? Very impressive...
which of course raises the suggestion of...
...Tony mate - how about you look after the IT side of things of Sanctus1?
:)

I already do the mailing list.. Not much other IT to do other than rebooting the macbooks occasionally :p
Tony, I have a few plans for Sanctus, so while you're spending all our money on domain names, can you also register:

www.lauradraneforpm.gov
www.eakins-massage-parlours.org
www.bringbackdanandeva.com
www.nexus-vs-sacredtrinity.wrestling.tv
www.sanctus007.info (where we all get to be spies)
Oh this is so navel gazing. I'm off into the outside world before I forget what it looks like.
