starting a new page in the book

I've been in the webdesign business for several years now, but it wasn't until I got hosted in late 2002 that I really started to try and improve my graphic and coding skills. In early 2005, I was lucky enough to even get my own domain, shiroi-tsuki.net, purchased and hosted with UOIndustries. I was very pleased to have my own little space on the web, without having to bother other people to host me and being in control of what was available. UOIndustries wasn't that bad and I only experienced a few downtimes (though I probably had myself to blame for most of those times). However, due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to give it up in early 2009 and so I decided to make a fresh new start with this domain.

Nymphae.net was purchased on the 2nd of April, 2009 through GoDaddy and is hosted by the very awesome arashi of ZangetsuORG. She was also kind enough to pay for the domain name, even though it wasn't my intention to rely on other people for that. She's like a sugar daddy who's spoiling me to bits ♥

Originally I was planning to purchase the name nymphaea.net, which is the Latin name for the flower more commonly known as the waterlily. As luck would have it, the name was already taken, with all common extensions. I opted to get different flower-related names, but in the end, I just chopped off the last -a and went with nymphae.net, which refers to the Nymphs in Greek mythology. I really loved my Greek classes back in high school, and I've always thought the stories told were really interesting. Also, according to Wikipedia, "the nymphs in Greek mythology were supernatural feminine beings associated with springs, so the application of the name to delicately flowered aquatic plants is understandable." I guess I got my flower domain after all ;)
