I've personally used 1and1 and paid .99 cents for a domain name. it was a dot info site.I was using it to try to learn how to build a website. the website idea flopped but ilearned how to register the domain. they do have a feature when you sign up with them you do not have to register your name on the server so noone will know you own the domain name if they search the whois registrythat's a nice feature that they give you free. Most other domain places I've looked you have to pay for the anonymous registry.

Jori,I'm having trouble figuring out how to reply to post so bear with me if this comes back to you weird. I'm really new at the forum stuff. But I'm not new to the internet. I gotten a lot of course over the years and I'm happy to say I know a little about a lot of stuff but not enough for it to be any good to me so here goes..something i learned that might help you.I've read that's it's a good idea to pick a website name that has keywords in it that people are searching for. example visual art help, visual art advice. See what I mean. So depending on what your keyword is, even if its film, or photography put the work advice or help after it and you will have a meaningful website name that people will know what they are getting and will click to see your stuff. If you need help finding a good visual art word go to google search for google keyword tool, when you get it put in a word you are thinking of and google will show you a list of words that's relevant to the word you typed in. This way you can get some brainstorming going so you can find a website name title you might like, then just put the word advice behind it if you want to jazz it up and let it be descriptive to the audience who finds your site when they are surfing.
