[Hidden-tech] Website Domain Question

[Rich@tnr]

1st Q - yes you must have a domain name to have a web site -- either 
your own or as a 3rd level like chris.wordpress.com or me.blogspot.com
Domain generally cost under $15/yr (.com/.org/.net) only unique ones are 
most - like .actor or 100 new ones - can be up to $50/yr or more.

2nd there are two ways to buy a domain - via an independent reseller 
(like we are - under a registrar - opensrs in our case)
OR buy it with your hosting company

Based on years of experience - do the 1st - it might cost a separate fee 
since many hosting companies include the fee

BUT if you ever have any hosting issues  -- which you will if you have 
the web site more than a few years.
by buying from an independent source you are free from any conflicts 
that many hosting companies link to your site.

Let me know if you want us to handle it.
