A Good Domain Name Service

godaddy.com Don't bother putting up a website without having your own domain name. It's cheap - about $10 per year for .com and about $5 per year for a .us domain. For that price you get your own name. For example, I own the name, "requa.net". You may see higher prices, but I'm telling you that you get nothing more by paying more. You'll get the lowest price and the best service from godaddy.com. And, by the way, you probably don't want ot buy any of their extras either.

People are buying up names fast and you might have to use a little imagination. Names ending with other than .com are easier to get. The .org and .net names are a little easier to get. You can get a .info, .biz, or .ws name. All these are now open to everybody.

My favorite is the .us domain. Every other country uses it's two letter country code and now we can too. I recently got terragraphics.us after being unable to get the terragraphics.com name.

You may be wondering what owning a name gets you. It gets you nothing until you spend more. When you spend several times that much, you can get the following:

What you have to buy to get this is hosting. You can get that from godaddy.com too for about $5 per month. If that's what you want, start by buying the hosting and they'll give you a big discount on the first year of your domain name.
