Hi,

I am new here and I also new as a WM. I was collecting informations for my new site and now I am looking for some places to register a Domain name.

I've few questions here:
1. It seems that the Domain name has varid price.(The lowest I have seen is $5 I believe. Some as high as $20 ) what's the differences? People told me not go above $10.
2. About the renew after a year. Does each site has different policys?
3. What problem should I avoid when I register for a Domain?

Thanks,
Anne

Once thing that concerns me about dodgy looking sites, is will they immediately process it or do they scan through and look for especially valuable domain name ideas?

I have this image of me sitting waiting for 2 minutes and then getting "Sorry, that domain is taken but you can buy it for just $100!"

Aside from that, check to see what else they offer, do they do email facilities, a holding page and so on?
