Do you pay for the standard DNS package? As I said, the cost for one 
year was like $35 which seems high for a service other companies give 
away for free when you buy a domain name.  That's why I was confused. If 
it was $5, I could understand it.I'd say, "Well, they are a little high 
but I like the accessibility of their web site."
