dualcitizen.org.tw rulez!!!
This is Taiwan…try humanmultinational.org.tw?
The problem of immigration into Taiwan is not a commonplace idea and there is virtually no such uniquely flattering history like in the USA or even other former colonies. The past history of immigration to Taiwan is:
Koxinga.org.tw
KMT-in-exile.org.tw
expatpartyclub.org.tw
Perhaps the word “expatriate” says it all as Merriam-Webster cites its synonyms:
deport, displace, exile, expel, expulse, lag, oust, relegate, transport or related words:
banish, disfellowship, excommunicate, rusticate; debar, exclude, shut out; drive out, eject, evict, turn out; bump, can, cashier, discharge, dismiss, fire, put out, sack; blackball, blacklist, boycott
Sounds like Taiwan, doesn’t it? A penal colony of expats.
taiwanemigrants.org.tw
emigrants:
one that leaves one place to settle in another
Synonyms: immigrant, migrant
Related Words: alien, displaced person, DP,
Touche. Or just call it…waiban.org.tw (Foreign Affairs Office). That way, we’ll be ahead of the curve upon the PLA invasion of Taiwan.
Richard, I’m afraid “newcitizen” as part of a host name is also not the best choice. There were tv ads about two or three years ago by the military schools where everyone said “Wo shi xin tai wan ren”. They might take out that slogan again, so we might end up as military cadets…
RE: website suffixes
I have learned that it is impossible to obtain .org.tw without a formally registered NGO in Taiwan.
However, a simple .org may be obtained from the USA with minimal hassle.
Hence, it appears that the suffix for this website will be a simple .org
At least a US-registered .org enjoys the full protection of freedom of speech unlike org.tw, besides being simply easier to register.
A search on groups.google.com reveals rave reviews for affordablehost.com where I got 5 years of jidanni.org plus 25 MB for US$90 or 100 perhaps. The only regret is that it is overseas, as that might be slower. Anyways I was up and running in a day or two. Any application for a .tw, even .idv.tw would have required me leaving my mountaintop headquarters for a trip to town, so I said no.
Today every 5 minutes there is a “put out the fire at Wuling Nongchang” helicopter crossing overhead here, even though I’m 55 km away, but apparently right on their route.
Maybe they are monitoring my internet activity…

I want to try to host it here in Taipei for free as a private person.
I can’t guarantee 100% uptime and my only constraint here is time, but I’d like to help.
Please contact me at prezzy_dent@hotmail.com.

I swear the little green men got out of the helicopter and added that line to my post when I went out for a leak in the woods. I mean it is in punch line position, but has no punch. Ok, maybe it has a punch if you are like over 60 or something. I smell a fartzell.
taiwancitizenship.org
or
roccitizenship.org
are available depending on which political party u support!
for cheap registration u can try joker.com
12 Euro a year
For hosting why not host it in Taiwan on an ADSL
fixed IP line? Setting up a server is easy.
You will need of course hardware but u don’t need
soundcards and all that nor do u need a monitor.
Somebodys donated PC would do (pref. P2/celeron).
I will announce my choice of domain name within ten days!!
