Registering Domains

  #1  
Apr 21st, 2004
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....
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.

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 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.

Or you can sign up to be a reseller of GoDaddy yourself and get the prices REALLY cheap, like I did :)
