Hm. Until recently, I was able to register new domains and new nameservers in
the same (to me - perhaps different under the covers) transaction - then again,
until recently, NSI would just take my fscking credit card and not make me
create an account with them...so who knows what changed.
So, what do I have to do to register hosts? Do I have to deal with NSI
(Please, God, No!) or can I do this via srs/tucows?
Thanks,
JB
