Hi there! I'm ZW and I own World's End Audio Club. All web pages for WEAC will start with www.zwbuckley.com/ so don't be alarmed. In fact, worldsendaudio.club simply redirects to zwbuckley.com/weac. Additionally, payment processing for tickets to purchase events at World's End Audio Club will happen through zwbuckley.com via Stripe.
Why? Because it's easier for me to host World's End Audio Club within the existing architecture for my personal website. That's why you'll always see my main zwbuckley.com footer at the bottom of every web page.
See the answer to the above question. World's End Audio Club is hosted within my main website (hi! I'm ZW Buckley!) so you'll see zwbuckley.com web addresses used often.
