I am ready to buy a domain name for my small business. But I am wondering why there are so many variations in price.

I will have Earthlink to host the site, but should I buy the name from a company that sells it cheaper? Is there some unreliability involved in getting a name cheaply?

If you are registering free with sites like namezero, ofcourse there is a hidden danger involved. They will register the domain in there name. But there are some agents like pugmarks or net4domains who will provide us with cheap rates for regn. In such cases what they do in bulk registration by which they will resiter the sites as a group. The only propbel with this is , this kind of registration will take some days to complete.

I am leary about using third party companies to register. Your domain could end up in their name and changes may be difficult. Dotster (www.dotster.com) is one of the 5 or so companies that are allowed to directly register domains (like how Network Solutions used to do them all). The cost is only $15 per year. The part that I really like about Dotster is that I can update the domain information directly from the web without going through a lot of hassle. In the past, I used Network Solutions and it was a pain to change just my fax number in the domain information.
