You misunderstand. If you look more carefully, this Web page has been put up there by EUnet GB's sales department. Yes, they charge you two hundred pounds to register a domain name and provide name service for a year. Several other UK providers charge similar fees. But many US providers also have a standard fee for registering a domain name on your behalf and providing name service. EUnet GB is a private company, one of several British Internet providers, not an organization like the Internic. -- Jim Dixon jdd@vbc.net VP Engineering VBCnet West Inc 408 971 2682 fax 408 971 2684

The misunderstanding is that EUnet GB has two roles in this context, on the one hand they actually -do- run the co.uk registry, on the other hand they provide the service to their customers. I think browsing through http://www.britain.eu.net/naming-co/ would make things clearer. In particular the link to the form clearly states what the purpose. -- EUnet AG Simon Poole Zweierstrasse 35 Tel: +41 1 291 45 80 poole@eunet.ch CH-8004 Zuerich Fax: +41 1 291 46 42 S=poole;P=EUnet;A=EUnet;C=CH

Yes, just one: That would be closer to $450 in US dollars. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | uunet!world!bzs Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
