if i have my own server do u have to pay for domains

NO. You do not have to pay for a domain.  If you have a server, you can just set it up to be a domain controller. Then you will have your own domain.\n\nHowever, if you mean you want an INTERNET domain (which is an entirely different thing), then yes. You have to pay Internic to register the domain name and get a static IP address from your ISP.

You should consider linking a new subdomain off of your home page. This would use the same domain, but would create a new subdomain that is unique to the country that you wish to do business in. You can do this without paying for a separate domain.\n\nYou can see how I did this using this site below.\n\nYou can still use much of your existing distribution and payment processing, just link those sections off of your subdomain.

i believe that web hosting registration is where you pay to have your website hosted (ie. put your HTML pages or other files) \n\nDomain Registration is where you register your TDL (top level domain) name like somename.com or mypage.net.\n\nif you want to run a website for free, there are some places that do hostin for free, and they will give you a free domain name, but its usually a subdomain name like yourusername.freewebhostname.com\n\nor something longer. the reason to go and pay for a domain name is for people to remember easier, and less to type. Remember people are so lazy, that they rather type less and get more. thats why there are more dynamic sites, because people want more and do less. \n\nhope that answers your question\n\n.Indigo.

I think it depends on your domain providor. But If you can't change it, you may have to find a little bit of javascript to autodirect your index.html to your home.html. That's what I had to do with a very old website of mine ages ago.... Here is the code:\n\n<head>\n<script language="JavaScript">\n<!--\nwindow.location="http://yourpage.com/home.html";\n//-->\n</script>\n</head>\n\nI hope this works for you.\n\nBTW: When I previewed this post the url in the code has ";..." you only need the URL in quotes ( " ) and the semicolon ( ; ) at the end of it.

To have your own web site doesn't necessarily require you to pay for it. There are free options everywhere which let you create, store, and publish your web site - entirely FREE. The provider will create a sub-domain specifically as your identification. It may look similar to www.provider/yourname.com and/or //yourname.provider.com. The provider will allocate some space for you as well as control panel so that you will be able to manage your web site.\n\nAdvantage: \n- Free of course!\n- A perfect start for beginner to learn about web development\n\nDisadvantage: \n- Sounds not professional\n- Visitors/friends will know automatically that your site is a free hosting\n- Bombarded with advertisements. (...and lots of it!)\n- Limited expandability\n\nHowever, since you are asking for a specific domain name that needs modification of TLD database (managed by ICANN), you have to pay for it. Some even offer for free (a trick though). Worry not. The domain fee won't hurt your wallet. The fee range from $7-$30/year these days - how much is that going to hurt you?\n\nAdvantage: \n- That unique name belongs to you (ONLY YOU!), \n- Can be transferable shall you wish to subscribe to paid hosting\n- Sounds more professional\n- Fully expandable. You manage your web site\n\nDisadvantage: \n- Need to pay of course!\n\nWhat about hosting? The same goes as above but I do find somewhere in the search engines where you can lease the hosting space for $0.50/month!! An excellent choice for beginners.

I don't think you can get a domain name alone without paying for it. I do however know that some companies will give you a domain name for free with the purchase of web hosting. But, if you have a website like geocities or one that was provided for you through your ISP, I can almost guarantee you that you will need to get a domain name along w/ web fowarding. There are some companies out there that can supply you with both.

Some of the domain registration websites don't allow you to do all of that.  But if yours does, there will probably be an option for advanced editing somewhere in your account screen, try that.  It should have a FAQ also.

Yes you can, however, I do not think this is what you are looking for, because, if it was, then you would know how to do it. If you question is, can I host a website or use a domain internaly, then this is simple a web server and/or dns issue.\n\ndomain hosting, is simply using a domain to organize your lan/wan. hostnames.domain.com is for assigning ip's to hosts on your network.\n\nthis is not a function of a router.

If the domain and webhost are own by your customer, then any modification made to the site with out their concent, will be illegal.\n\nIf your customer gave you access to the site to do modifications, i think you might change your work to whatever was there before your work.\n\ni had the exact same thing happened to me, but the domain and webhosting were registered under my name. Since he gave me a 50% advance, i kept the site up for six months which was more than fair couse 80% of the cost was design.\n\nI took the site down since i didnt transfer him the ownership of the site, i hope he wont miss the hits he was getting =)\n\nanyhow ... \n\nIf he owns the host, you'd probably get in trouble taking the site down, and he probably have a backup of the site ...

Well, if you wanted to have your own site and eventually a domain name, you should look into getting web hosting and using a shopping cart system.  My dad uses PayPal, which is free but charges a transaction fee.  This takes money from each item you sell.  Google offers a service like this too.  There are plenty of shopping cart scripts though, if you find a web host that gives you a MySQL database and offers PHP so that you can install it.  Below I added a link to a list of them.  As for hosting, it depends on how much you want to spend or if you want to start off with a free site.  I recommend searching for this yourself but I have added links two directories I find helpful to speed up the process.

Getting your own personal domain. "www.yourdomain.com".  That way you can have your own personal e-mail address. yourname@yourdomain.com

you don't have to run your own server to get a person email address and domain... I got mine through yahoo and there are many others out there...

Having a site is different from having a domain. To have a site you must having hosting, or computer space set aside to save the information from your site. This hosting should have come with at least some limited email functions. You should contact whoever did your website and get them to set up your email. Don't let them over charge you for this at all. At the very least one email address with limited space should be fine and should be free. Anymore than a few email addresses with great space may cost you, but I would guess no more than around 10$ a month.

Yahoo can register your domain name ... I think they have a great deal for like $2.99 a year right now .... you can keep it for as long as you keep paying to keep it yours ... Network Solutions has a "lifetime" deal which holds the domain name for 100 years .... if you live that long
