An additional bonus to owning your own domain name is that you can keep your email address whenever you change you ISP and/or web hosting service provider. And I second the motion for GoDaddy. That's where I bought mine. My web site is hosted on WebHost4Life.com and all I had to do is change the IP referrer on GoDaddy to point to WebHost4Life. It's that easy. -- Geoff Sykes -- Assoc.

They are so cheap. Go to www.godaddy.com <http://www.godaddy.com/> . It costs about $9/year to register the name. Then it has to be hosted. GoDaddy will host it for around $10/month, which includes an email account using your domain name (i.e., mine is deanmay at pianorebuilders.com) Once you get the name it is yours as long as you pay the yearly registration fees. The best thing to do is get a vanity toll free number (mine is 888-Dean-May) that matches your domain name (www.deanmay.com <http://www.deanmay.com/> was taken). That gets one moniker out to the public that allows them two ways to reach you, phone or web.

WOW Dale, Now there's a really dumb idea. Please don't take offense, but why would you do that? For several years, I've published our Chapter Directory/Resource Guide. The one PITA item is redoing all of the damned email addresses! People change email addresses as often as some change socks! Perhaps, if you left a "blank", in your Brochure, it could be filled in with a rubber stamp thingee, a few at a time. Just some 50cents worth from the "Curmudgeon".<G> Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
