I hear http://Http://www.godaddy.com is a good place to get a site up and running.

I use dotster for my work's website. I don't remember how much it costs, but I think it's something like $80/year.

I use godaddy and networksolutions. Both work fine for domains, however I prefer godaddy. Plus there are a lot of coupons for godaddy online. I also host all my websites (7 of 'em) on Godaddy and have no problems.

I would think it would be much better to have the .org for that domain. Or maybe .edu.

I use Godaddy to register domains.

I have my own webserver. I prefer to because this allows me to have complete control over the environment I host in. After having experience is dealing with all of the other hosting services, I have found that if there is an issue no one reacts quicker to resolve that issue than me. I hate dealing with other IT people because you never get to talk with the person who can really resolve the problem and if you do get their number/email, its forever or never when you hear back from them.

You could do that too. I chose against that because it requires to much work from me, and I'm lazy.

You tell me what you want. I purchase it. Then I demand 10 million dollars for the transfer.

I use GoDaddy.com.

Use the code "GAMER1" at check out and you should be able to get a domain for $7.49/year (usually $9.99 for the cheapest package).
