register a domain
anyone know where i can get a domain? ive never gotten one before and dont know who is good and cheap. i'm looking for a dot com for around $7-8 a year if possible.
*edit* i found 1and1 offering a domain for $6 a year. i know they had that deal you can get free hosting for a year. are they reliable? how does it work with a domain? i know with hosting you look at how often they are up...but does it matter with a domian?

i would be afraid of $6 a year domain service better to pay a few more $$ and go with a company thats been around for awile and will still be here in a few years.

I have had nothing but praise for 1and1 and their domain registration/hosting package. I got in on the three-year free deal and love it. The same package is $4.95/month now, and $6/year domain registration for 500MB and 50 POP3 email accounts... Very reliable so far, though my actual site hasn't been up long. The 1and1 Control Panel is slow, but I don't use it much anyway. That's the only complaint I have...

First off, 1and1 is ok, their interface isn't the best,but their servers are fast and reliable(I run 2 sites with then).
Secondly, godaddy rocks,they won't be going broke for a while. Thirdly, www.serverseven.com has some good deals for hosting, and the people that run that service are very helpful. Good Luck
