# What's a "betalupi?"
|
||||
|
||||
Beta Lupi is a solar system on the [_Endless Sky_][es] galaxy map,
|
||||
which is the first place I look whenever I need to name a server.
|
||||
|
||||
Stellar names (especially those of [Arabic] origin) make pretty good hostnames: they're meaningless (in English), they sound interesting, and the "hyperlanes" that connect them in titles like [_Endless Sky_][es] and [*Stellaris*] look a lot like a network topology.
|
||||
|
||||
Beta Lupi also happens to be a real star in the southern constellation of Lupus ([wiki][wiki-betalupi]), but that's not particularly important.
|
||||
|
||||
A snippet of the [_Endless Sky_][es] map is below.

**In other words:** Try finding a `.com` domain that...
|
||||
|
||||
- Isn't already taken
|
||||
- Doesn't sound awful
|
||||
- Isn't owned by a scalper that's selling it for $300"
