[snowfrk]

. i dont want that, where can i buy and own my own domain?

 

[gopunk]

um nowhere, you're always more or less renting it. anyways godaddy is pretty cheap as far as those things go.

 

[RossMAN]

GoDaddy.com - the most popular because it's cheap.

NameCheap.com - my favorite because it offers you a lot for your money.

As with everything, read all the fine print, legal jargon and disclosures you can never be paranoid enough.

 

[Lars]

Best place to rent it is namecheap.com IMO

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

try http://www.dixiesys.com and http://www.3-95.com for more info.

keep in mind, with all of these places, you'll never completely own it. you're always renting or whatever you want to call it.

I remember couple years back after Microsoft bought Hotmail, it was down brieftly bcuz MS didn't pay the fee...

Isn't this the company that disappeared on you for a few months? (even tho your site was still up)

Question: If I register a domain name with one of these guys and they go out of business in the middle of my contract, can I still have someone else host the domain or am I screwed and have to reregister it elsewhere?

If they're bought out (most likely) then the ownership rolls over to the next company. If they just plain go out of business, you're screwed.

i've registered like 5 domains with buydomains.com. They seem pretty decent. Only $14/year

What kind of control do you have over what prints up for domain owner/administrative/billing contacts for your domain at godaddy.com?

For that matter I can't seem to find expanded registrar information for websites at internic anymore. Where can I go for that info?

 

[Paulson]

I've used register.com (or have had russ ) for the past 2 years...

 

[Wallydraigle]

Why not just find someone who owns a domain you like and be a dick and try to bully them into giving it to you for nothing, because you want it?

 

[jreel]

I use Godaddy and have never had any problems.

 

[jlee]

I use Redirection.net - $13.95 to register, then 5 bucks/year afterwards...unlimited email forwarding as well.
