Petfinder.com Help – Unique Address Request

A unique address is a way for you to have a more personal address for your home page than the one assigned when you joined. Without a unique address, your home page address looks something like: www.petfinder.org/shelters/NJ19.html. With a Unique Address, you choose an address you like, for example: noahsark.petfinder.org.

A Unique Address lets potential adopters remember your Web address without writing it down and allows them to get there more easily. When typing in the address, the usual www. at the beginning of the address does not need to be used (but just in case it is, the address will still work). When you get a Unique Address, your original address will still work just as it always has, so you don't need to worry about people who know you by your old address.

A request for a Unique Address must be made by one of the people listed as a contact in your Admin 'Shelter Info' section. Please be sure that this request has not already been made by someone else in your organization.

Unique names take the form: uniquename.petfinder.com (example: noahsark.petfinder.com). Try to keep it as short as possible so people can remember it easily. Addresses can contain only lowercase letters, numbers and the dash (-). Capital letters, spaces, underlines and any other characters are NOT allowed. Do not include the http:// or www. in your choices. You MUST list three different choices in case names are already in use.




You will receive an email when the name has been created.

Even the smallest rescue needs a Web site these days. A site will reach more people than you could ever hope to reach otherwise. It is the simplest way to let the world know about the work you're doing, what you stand for, and most important, what pets you have available for adoption. It can be and, for your purposes, it should be a very inexpensive tool.

If you don't know how to make a Web site, you have two choices - you can learn, or you can turn the task over to someone else. Read more...
