there is registration
and there is Hosting

they are different things

the very best way to register a domain name is with ICANN
the international registration agency in charge of such things
it will not be sold or used even IF you are not hosting it anywhere
the last time i checked it was $70 to register a domain name
this is a recurring fee, i believe it was good for two years

then you Host your webpage on any host server paid or free that you choose to use

when you register with an all in one, like go daddy, or network solutions
you don't own the domain name.. they do
check the fine print..you'll see

Thank you for the info.

And yes you are correct, and I AM seeing the ramifications of just that. Tried to transfer my domain today and what a mess and it most likely will never happen. :R

Here's the last update:

Followed up on status of my refund for unauthorized charge today.
Lot's of fast talking to dance around my questions how and why it happened and when will I see my refund.

And then one of the customer service reps said thanks for calling Web.com.:?

Network Solutions was just bought out by Web.com
