Scam Alert: Some Companies Are Charging Up To 2,000 Just To Register A Domain Name! - On September 14...
(Page 2 of 4 )
On September 14, 1995, InterNIC announced that the fee for all new domain name registrations would be $100, which would include two years of registration. So, all new domain name registrations now cost a minimum of $100, the fee to InterNIC. (Update: The fee for Web Addresses registered on or after April 1, 1998, is US$70.00. New registrations are in effect for a two-year period.)
The fee for annual renewals (for both new and existing domains) is $50. Therefore, all domain names that were registered prior to September 14, 1995 (when the $100 registration fee was initiated) will owe an annual renewal fee of $50 on the anniversary of their initial registration. (Update: All domain names re-registered on or after April 1, 1998, are assessed a US$35.00 re-registration fee.)

The process of registering a domain name almost always involves these five steps:
Selecting a domain name to register
Finding out if this domain name is currently available
Selecting an ISP who will host the domain
