I have been wanting my own .net or .com or anything account for so long and today my wish finally came true. But guess what, I registered [xviii.net](http://xviii.net) … and that just doesnt help… so i became quickly discouraged and cancelled my account… so much for that:( ☹ ---

why did you cancel it? i did it and i am taking a long shot by doing this but i try **mostly** anything. i think you should go ahead with it because sooner or later the domain name will not be available. i tryed to regester a domain name and i just typed it in 10 min ago (earlyer today) and i went back ant it was taken.☹ ---

yeah… i dunno… i might go back to it… but im not worried about the name… or really the money either… i dunno why im not… i dont really have a need for a site tho… not good enough at anything to waste the space. ---

Honestly, I think you should continue using the free stuff until you’re skills improve. You will only be wasting your money right now if you’re paying for a domain name and hosting while you’re still learning and experimenting. But if you want to just buy the domain name and save it so that no one takes it then that’s cool too, but don’t buy any hosting service for now. ---

Well EG is right… the domain name buy it to save it and make sure no one steals it (if you are worried about that). But while your practicing and learning… go with the free hosting. ---

Well what lost is saying is true too, if you have the money then go a head and get it, but if you’re tight on money then it will be a waste to buy something when you don’t need it yet. I’ve seen so many cool domains out there, but when you visit the site, it looks like cr@p because the designer is still learning so what’s the point of having a domain if all you have on there is cr@p? ---

On the other hand… When I was just starting with HTML, I bought a domain ([2muchfun.com](http://2muchfun.com)), and used it for an experimentation site. 2 years later, I sold the domain to Kraft foods for $4k cash. Rev’s moral? If you can afford it, why not have your own domain? You won’t have to worry about ads, you get your “own” email… And it makes you “The Geek of the Party” … great for picking up Geek Chicks 😛 Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---
