When you launch a new website you must register a unique domain name with an authorized registrar. When the internet was first starting, all domain names and IP addresses were registered through one organization, Internic. Eventually Network Solutions took over the role as “keeper” of the internet domain names. Today, there are hundreds of websites where you can register your domain name but Network Solutions still maintains the main database of domain names. Some websites charge as little as $2.95 per year for your domain name while others charge as much as $35 per year for the exact same service. Some even offer one year free if you register your domain name with them and host your website on their servers. Why pay $35 when you can register your domain name for much less at another website? Business - All business/finance/loan/mortgage related link can be found here Computers - All computer hardware/software/peripheral related link can be found here Internet - All webhosting/webdesign/internet marketing related link can be found here Software - All software related link can be found here Web Design - All web design/development related link can be found here Web Hosting - All web hosting related link can be found here Web Promotion - All search engine optimization/internet marketing related link can be found here Web Resources - All other web related link can be found here Recreation - All travel/hotel/cruise related link can be found here Casino - All online gambling/poker/blackjack/roulette related link can be found here Health - All online pharmacy/hospital/health related link can be found here Shopping - All online shopping/gift related link can be found here Miscellaneous - All other links can be found here So why does Network Solutions charge $35 a year if they are the keeper of the database and their resellers charge a fraction or even nothing? Who knows and who cares! Register your domain with one of the cheaper providers and you'll be fine. A word caution - be care who you choose to host your website. Getting a free year of your domain name isn't worth it if your webhost is unreliable and your website is down more than it's up. |
