| Network Solutions, Inc. used to be the only place to purchase
one from in the U.S. Each registrar offers different pricing and different interfaces. Most have online account
management features. The service is the same no matter where you purchase a name. Gandi.net in France is one of
the lowest priced registrars, and as of this writing, Network Solutions is still the highest priced. Each person or company on the net with an address ending with .com, .net, .org, .gov, or .mil purchased that name from a registrar. The cost of getting an Internet name at Network Solutions, is $70 for the 1st two years and $35 per year after that. Gandi currently charges 12DM per year which is currently about $11.00 USD with a 1 year minimum. This name is yours as long as you maintain the fees. Note: be sure to keep the payments up or you are subject to losing your name. Many well known sites have lost their names, simply because they didn't pay on time. An Internet name is more than a name. It is also an address. This means that when a person surfing the net looks for your name, that "search name" is then looked up in the Internet database and the website address for your name is returned to the browser to know how to connect you to your website. Each website, therefore, must reside on a computer connected to the net somewhere in the world. This computer is your Internet host. In order to register a name, you must have a host. Many website design firms and hosting companies charge for registering a name for you. We do not charge for either submitting your registration form or for being your name host. This means that your domain name cost will be just the simple charge until you have a website actually setup ready to host visitors. |
