Stop! Read this now! This page will help you to secure your new World Wide Web domain name.The price is quite low -- less than $3.00 per month per domain name. This money goes to a government agency named Internic, which now takes on the name of "Network Solutions" at their slick new home page. The initial sign-up will require 2 years prepaid ($70.00), which may be charged to a credit card directly over a secure connection on the net. You will find it convenient to have already made some of the arrangements for the actual domain that you are setting up before you transact with them. For this, you will want either to already have an existing domain complete with a domain name server (Internic needs your DNS for their form), or you will want to arrange to "park" your domain temporarily on some existing server (you will need to make these arrangements).I followed a different path, which you may want to consider: Instead of "parking" my domain , I began by using a free web site forwarding service. The web site forwarding service then sent my incoming traffic to my pre-existing web site. You may already have a pre-existing web site, or you may have a web page included with your dial-up Internet service provider package that you are not yet using. The big services like AOL and CompuServe and many of the local ISP's include these web sites in their basic packages.If not, it is also possible to instantly obtain a web site from a number of online services. I suggest places like www.tripod.com, www.xoom.com, www.freeyellow.com, www.webjump.com, etc., that place small advertisements on your pages or on pop-up pages. This is because they can offer substantially large amounts of disk space to you at no charge.For $10.00-$20.00 per month you may also buy a web site complete with numerous services and substantial disk space. However, it takes a while to set up with some of these services, so starting up with a pre-existing web page, or one of the free services, combined with a web site forwarding service seems to me to be a great way to start quickly.For a web site forwarding service, I have been using NameSecure. They can forward all of the email addressed to the new domain to your pre-existing e-mail address. And they have a software gadget that leaves your domain name in the URL window of the incoming browsers so that the site redirection is relatively invisible to the users. To test the NameSecure gadget, you can try clicking on this URL: KR6X.net. You might also have some fun if you send e-mail to anyone@KR6X.org. I'll receive it at my kr6x@kr6x.com address.So these are the basic steps to a $3.00 per month personal domain: (1) Use the button at the right to select an unused domain name (you might be suprised how many are already taken up). Register your domain with Internic using the following information: Technical Contact, Zone Contact: NameSecure (NAM2-ORG) admin@NAMESECURE.COM 925-377-1212 Fax- 510-377-1414 DNS1.NAMESECURE.COM 205.229.232.10 DNS2.NAMESECURE.COM 209.133.34.248 Return to this page. (2) Go to NameSecure and set up the free (or was it $2.00 per month -- I don't remember) web site forwarding service. Use the "Transfer a domain name I already own to NameSecure's services" option. (3) Get a free web page somewhere if you don't already have one, and ask NameSecure to redirect your traffic there. You could have a site that's better than this one in no time if you have anything to say (that's my problem: I don't have anything to say). You can use Microsoft Word 97 for a web page editor to generate the HTML language code if you don't already have a plan for how to do the actual page; it is really capable of producing some very nice web pages. You may also have an HTML language WYSIWYG editor built into your browser; if you download Netscape 4.73 or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 from this page (both are free), then you will have the editor that you need (Composer with Netscape or Frontpage Express with Explorer). I have even used the e-mail editor in Microsoft Outlook Express successfully to generate a web page. The tools for moving the web page from your hard drive are varied. On some free web page hosts, you can copy and paste the HTML code from the notepad.exe editor into your web browser. Some may use Microsoft FrontPage extensions; this allows the Microsoft web publishing tools to work -- these tools are often present on updated Win95/98/NT systems. Even without FrontPage extensions, the Microsoft web publishing tools may allow you to use "file transfer protocol" (a.k.a. ftp) to put the files on the remote system. Also, if your domain's system uses "file transfer protocol" (a.k.a. ftp) to transfer files from your computer to the hard drive over the Internet and you don't already have an idea how to use "ftp", then try downloading and registering the ever-popular and user friendly Internet Neighborhood ($28.00).Click here to
