This year, I decided not to renewal the previous domain name (hailiang.ws) last year, but to register a shorter one. There are two reasons:

  1. Both the site URL and the email address will be cleaner.
  2. A more friendly Go import path will be possible for my repositories on Github.

After comparing various choices on major domain providers, I chose h12.io as the new domain. It is the shortest but still meaningful domain that I can afford. H is the initial letter of my given name, 12 is simply the number of letters of my full name, and .me is a top level domain quite suitable for a personal website.
