[nfbcs] looking for a domain name hosting service double allow email boxes, and is accessible?

[Jack Heim]

$40 a year just for domain name registration? That is extraordinarily 
high.  Most places don't even do annual fees. Well, you can renew the 
registration every year but you'd normally do something like 10 years 
for $100. You are probably getting services you don't need for that $40, 
like web space you are not using.

The email account I am sending this from, john at johnheim.com, is a gmail 
account. The domain, johnheim.com, is registered at namecheap which cost 
me about $100 for 10 years. The gmail account is free but that is 
because I got in 20 years ago. I believe gmail now charges for that 
service but I doubt that it's more than $100 a year. You have to 
configure googles MX records in your DNS configuration but that's all 
the setup necessary on the domain name registrar's site.

If you don't want to mess with all that, the last time I looked into 
cheap solutions for domain, email, etc, I settled on recommending 
justhost, http://www.justhost.com/. It was $99 a year back then.
