domain buying question...

[_Street_Fighter]

ummmmm... i see these offers for domains (like $8/yr or $10/yr) but if i get one of those, is there a $35/yr fee?

i remember last year, i saw this site selling domains for $20, but there was like a $35/yr everyone had to pay... sooooooooooo does it still exist?

anyone know any sites with about $10/yr domain without any hidden costs?

thnx in advance...

just a few years ago, the US government given Network Solutions, now Versign, complete control of the .COM .NET .ORG

which cause the prices of domain names to be $35

but Verisign no longer have all the controls over those TLD

they still have control over them, but they must allow other companies to sell those domain names

anyone company who wish to sell domain names must get accedited by ICANN and pay verisign $6 for every domain name they sell to verisign

w/ the increase in completion, it cause the decrease in the prices
