Shedokan - Play Free Online Games
« on: September 06, 2010, 02:32:45 PM »
I know there are lots of websites where you can play free online games, but I'm making this one different because I give every game attention, and I'm going to add a lot of nice features in the future.

Check it out: http://shedokan.com

Any comments are really appreciated, because I am really putting it all in this website.

PS: I also add like two new games every day, so there's no reason not to check it every day :)

Thanks

*edit*
Just bought shedokan.com !

Wow, nice site! Did you design it yourself or are you using some kind of CMS for games?

Nice design! Do consider getting a TLD for the site.

I host PHP/MySQL based websites at reasonable rates. For more info, PM me.

Yeah but I am afraid that I won't have enough money to pay for the domain and I'll lose it.

And as far as I know it's impossible to get it back without big bucks...

Well that depends if anyone buys it when it expires, if not then you can easily re-register it ;)

And it will cost the same 10 bucks I initially payed to register it? and what are the odds someone would buy it?
because I see lots of domain park pages that say that  have to pay like 20k to buy.

Thanks

It only takes around $10 to re-register a .com. Choose GoDaddy, they always have coupon codes (there's even sites dedicated to these codes). You should only have to pay $13 at the most to renew a domain. If you let it expire and someone else buys it, however, it will be a huge pain to get back. Just renew it before it expires, it shouldn't be that hard to make $13 a year, I make ~$5 a month via Paypal through SwagBucks, by simply searching the web. [/spam] There's plenty of easy ways to make money, and if you get desperate, you could always try survey sites (assuming you're from the US, if not they're a little harder to do).

If it's just to create a PayPal account, that DOES NOT require a credit card nor a bank account. However, your transactions will be greatly limited until you add one. But if you were to, for example, use Swagbucks to earn money and use your PayPal account only for the purchase of domain names, then you would be fine without one.

I tried buying a domain on godaddy and other domain sellers and when I go to PayPal it asks me to add a credit card or go back to godaddy, I did a little research and it asks for credit card if I purchased things for more than 100$ but I only bought things for no more than 40 bucks and I buy the domain for 30.
Any idea?

Thanks.

Ah, I apologize, you cannot buy domain names without a credit card for the following reason:
By default, domains are set to auto-renew. That means that they will automatically bill you at the start of a new year. You can turn this off, however, since it is on by default, you are required to have a credit card for any "subscription" style purchases through Paypal. Personally, I got an American Express gift card and linked it to my Paypal (which is a bit of a pain, mind you), and now I am allowed to purchase subscriptions. Just remember to have enough money in your PayPal balance if you were to do this, or else you could run into huge trouble. [Or simply turn off the auto-renew, and manually add a year when you get enough money to do so.]

Thanks, I thought it was something like that.
Will a debit card work?

Very nice design, though the white background to the logo might not be the most appropriate color combo.

Yeah, but I had no other idea for the background so I left it white, once I'll get the idea I'll change it.

I suppose you don't mind constructive critism. I've gotten my share in my day.

Your font on your site logo, gives a evil look that will shy people, including me, away from your site.

Your font on the tabs should be more "rounded" instead of using text directly if you are, try using a image for the tabs, with nice font.
