PT, The annual costs at Frontier were likely much higher that $50 to $100, as they were hosting the ad server software and the zulu sites. The $50 is for an annual registration of the name (JT was suggesting they should have paid that rather than setting the names free so soon). The $50-100 estimate was for someone to provide just DNS services. Doing this (as it appears they may have this time) would prevent host provider (which is the most expensive service) from holding your name hostage. BF

I didn't say what the cost of Frontier's service was. I suspect it is several thousand dollars a month. I said that domain name service can be as cheap as $20 to $100 a year. The domain server is the server that translates between domain names "www.xyz.com" and IP addresses 123.45.6789. Your domain server doesn't have to be hosted at the same company as your web site or other servers. Indeed you could have parts of your web site at different service providers. The DNS server sews it all together. If you plan on screwing your service provider out of several thousand or several tens of thousands of dollars, it pays to make sure your DNS is hosted elsewhere, and pre-paid. Unfortunately, Zulumedia didn't have this foresight, though they have corrected that situation this time around...
