In my experience from my wedding site, which used the .dance tld no matter how hard you try people will add .com to the end.

When we did some research for RBI (part of Reed Elsevier) w found that about 8 - 10% of our inbound links linked to the wrong version of the home page.

So correctly handling all standard HP synonyms is a good start for all sites.

Apparently it's too hard to type "Home Page".

I had mine on http://[subdomain].rya.nc/wedding/ and had it printed that way with the wedding invitations and even my less technical relatives didn't seem to have problems with it. Did you have a bare domain or did you include http:// and the trailing slash?

I had http://supermarried.dance/ on our invitations. That really apparently confused our older relatives.

Maybe having a subdirectory helped.
