Domain registration costs about $100 + whatever your ISP nicks you for helping. They'll also probably require you to go to a commercial account which, if you haven't already done that, will provide more server space and more income for your ISP. The first registration of the domain name is for 2 years, then there's an annual fee of $50.

You can check the availability of a domain name by going to internic.com. You can also register there for a fee and pay to use their server ID until you can transfer the domain name to your ISP. There's a charge for all these services + transfers, so it's best to have your ducks in a row first and work it out with your ISP.

Also, I can connect you with someone that can provide server space at very reasonable prices. They don't support e-Mail, so you'd have to maintain an e-Mail account at your ISP and let these people host your site. There's a way to apply the domain name to your e-Mail address even though it goes to a different location (they're separate functions). If you have an interest, let me know and I'll get you in touch with the provider and let her tell you what it's all about. I have no idea about cost, but I know that the saving is substantial.
