why does everything cost money?

I'm trying to register the domain name I'mrightyourwrong.co.uk and lycos looked like it had the best deal, �1.99 a month, but when it puts vat in it goes up to �2.34 a month.

Fine, its not that bad so I go to register it and then they say they want the �28 all in one go and they are tieing me into a contract for two years (which really means I have to pay �56).

I can afford to pay �2.34 a month but I cant afford it all in one go, I need a job.

Jobs are good for that. Good luck mate.

Thanks, I'm also saving up to go to canada for three months, but its not going so well.

You might want to get the 56 quid first. Might cost a little more to go to Canada.

why not just get a .org/.com/.net? or some cheaper domain TLDs?

cuz he wants to take other people's money? Ah, the circle is closed.

I'mrightyou'rewrong.co.uk ???

but I'd assume without the apostrophes.

On lycos thats a standard fee for a basic package, the anoying thing is I only want the domain name cause I'll just link it through my blogger.

As for the canada thing, I'm going on an exchange program, I'm fortunate in that the money I need to get there is already avalible to me (in heritance), its just money for living costs.

I'm going to have to keep looking for a job.

You know I'm really getting fed up of having my spelling corrected, its kind of badly ironic, it looks better when you write it out as a logo and i'be registered a load of accounts and I dont want to do it again.

Ueno on Mar 09 '07 at 5:25pm

uh...... stubby, lycos is totally ripping you off..

register your domain here: Godaddy.

It'll only cost you 10 USD per year there.

Just forward it to the website that you want. In this case, it would be your blogger website.

If you don't know how to do that, I can teach you if you want.

Thanks ueno, I got to the point of registering it and it doesnt accept my card.

I'm just going to have to sleep on this one.

stubby43 on Mar 09 '07 at 5:39pm

Oh and thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that, but there is a guide on the blogger website if that confuses me I'll drop you a line.

cheers.
