Just curious, not urgent or anything. I have my own server, all I need is a domain name. Do I have to pay for it or what other options do I have there?

Thanks,

Slade

Youll need to buy a domain name

like everyone else, unless you want to just use your IP....

Keep in mind you can by a domain name from any registrar. Domain name registrars include GoDaddy, Verisign, etc. and usually range from $10 to $35 per year.

I've been recommended GoDaddy, it seems really cheap. $8.95 a year. The site is at http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp?e=com.

You can also try www.namecheap.com a reputable registrar which became pretty popular in a very short amount of time.

You can also use a dynamic DNS service like the one at http://dyndns.org which you can point to your server's IP address.

I use Omnis.com and for $7.95 you can't go wrong! Plus they take PayPal, which is why I use them over GoDaddy.

GoDaddy also have multiple complaints made about them at www.WebHostTalk.com

Also ensure you can transfer out fine. Otherwise you can be charged £40+ to do this. Old trick of 1&1.
