Spelling Mistake in Domain Name
Hey Friends,
Yesterday I bought a domain here at WA, but made a typo.
Is it possible to change it?
Thanks,
Regards,
Jivita

I made a mistake too and Carson helped me, you can try to contact him and ask if he is willing and able to help you out Domain registration do not end up with the wrong domainname
I did not attempt this when I made a mistake. I just registered the correct name and wrote off the cost of the mistake.
Maybe I will check with Carson, though this is a couple of months ago.
you can change the name presented to your visitors but not the one in the register.
So you can still use it - most people are looking at the title of the post and the header of the site rather than the name.
remember people searching and finding your articles are looking for those articles rather than looking at the name in any detail - even google got it wrong - it should be googol - and it was named backrub to start with - so further down the line you can transfer your site to another domain name if you want to.
how bad is the typo and will anyone notice?

You are right Phil, people are looking at the post title and the header. It's a small spelling mistake and no one will notice.

you tend to correct small spelling mistakes in your head. So i would run with it - or if it becomes a problem in the future transfer it to a new domain, but at the moment no one will notice.

Interesting on the Carson connection!
