Domain registration stuff

[ZOMBIE USER 68]

Okay. I've noticed that a lot of people here have their own domain. I've been seriously considering getting my own for quite a while now. I want to ask you guys which service you used to get your own domain, and also how much it cost and how good you think it is. Thanks! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------

Most people use Network Solutions to get their domain. <P>Network Solutions costs $35 a year for a domain. <P>However, Network Solutions *really* *really* sucks. They've (please excuse the expression) screwed people over many a time. <P>Try joker.com instead. They're only $13 a year since they're outside the US monopoly Network Solutions has, and they're much faster, more reliable, and more convenient on top of it. <P>Best of luck. <P><P>------------------

Oops! Here I am talking about domains without talking about mine!<P>It just started working for most people, since the DNS entries take time to get around. <P>Check it out!<P>------------------

Well, since almost everyone uses Network Solutions, almost everyone can't be wrong, right? I wouldn't know. I used Register.com. Just a tip (and if you read my comic, you'd have undoubtedly already heard me rant about the subject) - REGISTER.COM BLOWS! And sucks. Yes, it both blows and sucks at the same time, which is quite an accomplishment, to be sure.<P>------------------

Hehe, like I said, it's a monopoly =)<P>Actually, it isn't officially a monopoly anymore, but it still might as well be. <P>The story is a long one, and I shant bore you with it. <P>BTW, when you use register.com, you're still dealing with Network Solutions... (only part of why register.com stinks, though)... that's how it is for any registrar in the US. <P>Its a good thing there isn't a domain embargo =)<P><P>------------------
