How do internet domain names work? Who do you buy them from?
I want to register a domain name for a website project. I see ads for GoDaddy and Network Solutions with wildly different prices — one is $8.99 a year and one is $35. Why such a big difference if it's the same thing? Who actually owns the internet's address book? Once I buy a name, is it mine forever?

My nephew set this up for me and it was easier than I expected. Don't be intimidated by the technical stuff — most of it is just clicking Next a bunch of times. If you get stuck, the Help file actually has decent instructions for once.
I'd wait a few months before jumping on this. New technology always has bugs and the price drops fast. Remember how DVD players were $600 and now they're $40? Let the early adopters work out the kinks and pay full price.
