Well Rusty, why do you use free webmail?  If I am running a 
non-commercial site to learn some stuff and there is a free DNS service 
and I can get a cheap domain, why wouldn't I want to use the cheap and 
free combination?  I've done some stupid and expensive stuff in the past 
that I am now recovering from and I don't have a lot of duckets to throw 
around.   My fastest PC is a PIII-500.
