Well if you're not exactly looking for ".com" or ".net", you could use ".cjb.net".
It's got some banners attached to it though... Just depends on what you prefer. I personally use cjb.net for my website. It's handy to make my url memorable. Kinda catchy, actually. |

I would suggest co.nr .. >>LINK<< ... its small better and easier to configure .. the only draw back is a small link back picture to co.nr .. but i guess its all worth it at the end for this great service ..

Are you looking to purchase a domain? Or are you looking for a sub-domain redirection service?
If you want to purchase a domain - a large chunk of people i know have used godaddy.com as their preferred domain registrar. If you rather have a shorter URL then, I'd recommend ne1.net They offer 2 domains - ne1.net and r8.org so you get a link to your site as: http://xyzabc.ne1.net I like this provider because you don't need to put up any link or ad and neither do they have any advertising popups, pop-unders, banners etc. Totally clean interface. |

Since you obviously don't mind posting, I would sugges using www.hostbidder.com. The forum has a similar concept to Astahost, and gives you point for posting (of course, the crediting system isn't as good as here).
In order to get a domain for one year, you need approx. a bit more than 100 posts. It allows you to point the domain name to Astahost's nameservers, so you can park it here. After one year, you can renew the domain name by collecting the required number of points. Of course, if you don't want to post, www.godaddy.com is one of the best services and I am using it myself. I higly recommend it - my domain was active 5 minutes after I paid for it (MasterCard). |

Or he'll have his domain mask the URL. [N]F |
