It's more like $15/year for most registrars (technically the InterNic actually dissolved into ICANN and various registrars back in '98) -- although it does vary if you're going through a hosting company, as some use it as a loss leader and some mark it up ostensibly to pay for the service of submitting the information. When we had the last SED round of, "who's your web hosting company?" your guys were right there on top, price-wise...

I am actually using Microsoft Office Live to host my little website, and my company domain name. It is $15 a year... Charlie

It is $15 a year... I should have qualified that with, "...for the features it seems that you [Joerg] are after, your guys were right on top..." $15 is great though... is that the "regularly" price (vs. just promotion for a year or two)? How much space and bandwidth do you get for it? I've used x10 "premium" hosting in the past, although I was after a combination of "reasonably cheap" and "I want shell access" -- the later desire removing many potential web hosting services entirely from consideration. The plan I have is all of $35/year, if I'm recalling correctly, but it's capped at 20GB/month bandwidth and 500MB disk space. ---Joel

I get 500Meg of storage, and 100 email accounts (using 3!) but I don't know if there is a bandwidth limitation. But, that is the regular price. I am renewing next month... Charlie
