I use www.addresscreation.com they are like 15/y but they have all the
extras included, I have looked at go daddy and you have to pay for the
extra goodies, the only problem I have found with addresscreation is
that it takes a couple hours if not a day to update your ip address,
other than that it's a very good site, check it out...

I have to agree with this. I've been in the domain name registration
game since before the commercialization of the system, and NetSol (now
Verisign) is absolutely one of the most evil, despicable companies
existing in the world today. Verisign was only marginally better, so
that was a marriage made in Hell (on the 9th plane, by at LEAST
Baalzebul, 2nd lieutenant of Lucifer himself.)

In fact, on my "companies that must die" list, Verisign is actually
HIGHER on the list (i.e. more destructive to the public good) than
Microsoft. Verisign is the direct source of almost every despicable
domain name registration scheme going.

We do a lot of domain name registration and DNS aggregation for
companies (contact registration@nks.net) if you are looking for someone
local that has a lot of DNS expertise, but we aren't going to beat
GoDaddy price wise. Not our market. I would check out GoDaddy.com and
if that is everything you want, they are probably the low price leader,
and not TOO evil. If you're into something with a little more service,
use us or one of the other little ISP' on the SLUG list. I know there
are several here that would take the business, and are all SLUG
supporters in one way or another.
