you can sign up for a domain name with godaddy.com they offer free redirection, with purchase of a domain name so you can get mysitesrealcool.com or what ever .com or .net is available, a free altrenative would use something like http://www.shorturl.com/ they off free url direction, but you would than be stuck with thier list of extensions like yoursite.funart.com or what ever. So I hope that assist you.

I've always used http://www.register4less.com to buy and host my domain names (four) \n\nSo far, no problems at all and they host with no advertising on your site.\n\nThey are very quick to reply to any questions.\n\nI'm not too computer literate, so sometimes I get lost in the lingo at the site, but if you are up on computer-ease, you will do well by them.\n\nYou can do a search for the name you want and the .com or .net or whatever name you want...there are many more names available...not just those three you mentioned.\n\nGood luck!\n\nPS.  I almost forgot the rest of your question...\n\nPersonally, I like the hypen if it's a long name, then it "defines the words" better...but that's just my opinion.\n\nIf .com is gone, I'd go with .net...\nSounds like you might have to go that way or change the name of your web site.\n\nAgain, good luck with it! :)

You can go to any domain registrar and check for the availability of a domain.  If the domain is not available, most will offer suggestions of alternative options.  Network Solutions is good but very expensive for registration.  You can find cheaper domain registration through:\n\nGoDaddy - http://www.godaddy.com\nYahoo (limited to certain domain suffixes) - http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/

GoDaddy.com is the best in my opinion. It cost me about $3.95 per month for my hosting. Linux/PHP or Windows. Either one will do for what you need. If you buy your domain name from them you get free hosting and free website builder. On the free one they run ads at the very top of the page. Go look at my website http://www.kennedale-police.com this is done with free hosting. Dont judge me on that one as it is incomplete and I only have 2 pages. Imagine what you might be able to do. Go to GoDaddy.com and check out all the features.

I suggest you to get a domain name first like www.yourcompany.com

There are a lot more extensions than just com and org. You can generally get any extension you want, but com seems to be the most costly to get that domain ending and its the most familiar. For example, if I wanted to go to best buy's website, my first instinct would be to type bestbuy.com. I wouldnt type bestbuy.org since org usually associates with non-profit organizations. I know RED CROSS exists, but my first instinct would be to go to redcross.org and not redcross.com. Its just how we used them in the past and so we are accustomed to it.\n\nYou can get any extension you want...is the bottom line. But if you want people to actually find your web address and if you want them to feel more comfortable with going to your site, then your best bet would be to use .com. If you use a weird extension, most people affiliate that with a phishing site and tends to stay away from it.

One of the more popular ways to set up a domain (web site name) of your choice is GoDaddy... but there are lots of services that will do it for you.\n\nYou can do a free search at www.whois.com to see if a domain is free.  If it's free, you'll need to contact a provider about it.

I used to use UK2.NET but it often seemed quite slow, I am now hosted in the states and it is much better. From the UK reg123.co.uk is quite good (value and service).

The company that I have used, and the one with the best prices I have found for "unlimited" access is http://www.superuser.net They will host and register your domain name for free as long as you are with them and if you choose the setup with unlimited access then you don't have to worry about getting hit with thousands of dollars worth of bills.  In short most hosting sites give you a preset limit on visitors megs of downloads and then if you go over charge you accordingly.  This can get horribly expensive.  These folks start at around 12 bucks a month for 2 gigs of storage space and have unlimited downloads so no matter how many folks go to your site you won't pay a bit more.  They also have anonymous FTP you can setup which will allow your viewers a much faster download than regular HTML and can be done with simple click off your webpage.  I started a website for a non-profit civic organization in California awhile back and set them up to be hosted there.  Works excellent.  Also they have a checkout and catalog system already installed where you can sell and categorize your wares if you want to sell any of your stuff and take credit cards, etc.  If anybody knows of a site with a better deal please post it and let me know as well.  :-)

Yes! You just have to find a company that is offering domain names with the endings as .net, .org, .com, .us, etc!

You have to find a "Who Is" list on godaddy, etc. and try to purchase it from the current owner. Unfortunately, there are so many domain pirates out there.

Sorry to dissapoint you but there's no such thing.  Every domain name registration costs money and no-one is going to pay so that you can register your own domain name.\n\nEven if you accept that you're not getting your own domain name you're asking an awful lot.  A lot of free sites are HTML only and a lot don't offer 55MB webspace.  In most cases the bandwidth wouldn't be a problem but 500MB is a tiny amount of bandwidth - it's about 15MB a day; if you're talking 500MB a day then that's going to eliminate a lot of free hosts.\n\nHere's a reply I gave to a similar question...\n\nThere's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).\n\nIf you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.\n\nHere's some of the things to consider about free sites...\n\n-- 1 --\nYou're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.\n\n-- 2 --\nThere's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded).  It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself.  The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly.  If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.\n\n-- 3 --\nMost free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site.  Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space.  Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.\n\n-- 4 --\nThere's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums.  If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.\n\n-- 5 --\nSome copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site.  Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted.  To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.\n\n-- 6 --\nFree sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java.  Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.\n\n-- 7 --\nA free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return.  One common practice is to place adverts on your site.  Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.\n\n-- 8 --\nOften the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company.  This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.\n\n-- 9 --\nOften any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB.  It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.\n\n-- 10 --\nYou won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.\n\n-- FREE SITES --\nIf you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.\n\nHere's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...\n\nLycos Tripod (CNet
