You misunderstand. If you look more carefully, this Web page has
been put up there by EUnet GB's sales department. Yes, they charge
you two hundred pounds to register a domain name and provide name
service for a year. Several other UK providers charge similar fees.
But many US providers also have a standard fee for registering a
domain name on your behalf and providing name service.
EUnet GB is a private company, one of several British Internet
providers, not an organization like the Internic.
