I registered my domain through DomainDiscover.com. I refuse to use NetSol because their agreement states that when you register a domain, they own it and you get to use it. I think that it cost me $35 for three years. I pay $50/month for my DSL line. GraniteCanyon provides primary and/or secondary DNS for free.
