domain name (you@yourname.com).

Domain
Fee |
Verisign (Network Solutions) charges $35 per year. There are other domain name registrars available, many for less than half that amount.
We refer our clients to a reliable registrar that has excellent features, as well as a top-notch reputation on the Internet. Unlike some other hosts and developers,
Autumn Web makes sure our customers are listed as the admininistrative contact, so you have control of your domain name.
