I have to agree ... why such high charges when a similar service like
GoDaddy provides (domain name registrar) is $15 a year?
Is it REALLY X times the level of difficulty of registering a domain
name, and thus the charges are justified? I will let someone who is
very technical explain this to me.
Cordially
