How do you register a domain name? <changed to blue color to highlight>

Hermione, it helps to put questions in color. Wish I could help you with your question, but I don't know either.

godaddy.com, I believe, although I have never registered a domain.

Yes, Herm, please use color for your question. As you can see it has already gotten lost among other quips.

NEW QUESTION: What would a fair price be for about 6 hours of installing wainscoting? A neighbor of ours installed this for us. We asked for a price up front, but he said, let's wait til I am done. (We totally trust him and knew he would not overcharge us.) So now he says pay me whatever you want, $50 is fine. I said we are not paying you $50. Well I have til later today to decide, he is coming back to finish off one last piece tonight. We are fairly happy with the work (not completely, but that is for another thread...maybe check the decorating or renovation thread later today). Some of the ends of the chair rail are "unfinished" and some of the wainscoting doesn't totally butt up to the corners. So we'll probably have to "fine tune" this ourselves... Anyways, most of it is really nice. He spent about 6 hours total. What should we pay him?

Too bad you already said you are not paying him $50. That sounds like a $50 job. So pay him $75.

I was going to say $100 but I like Juju's idea better.

I would certainly pay him more than $10/hour, probably $15/hour.

So $200 is too much?

I pay my guy $200 for a whole days work and he comes at 8 and leaves at 5 (that is after painting a living room and dining room). I think $200 is excessive, $100 is reasonable compensation plus some.

Cool. Thanks Maris!!! And Annie. And Juju and Twinkie!!! At least I was able to get another neighbor to install the light fixture in exchange for watching his kids so he & his wife can go to dinner next week...

Hermione, You need to find a reliable Domain Registrar. Find a reliable one that you can actually contact by phone. I do not recommend using the same company that hosts your website, as your Domain Registrar. Some companies "conveniently" offer to handle both aspects of your website for you, but the problem with having the same company do both is that it can be very difficult to switch hosting companies (if the service is poor) if they also control your Domain Registration. (Also, I changed your question to blue so it would stand out)

Julie I was just wondering if your statement "we are not going to pay you $50" meant it wasn't worth $50 or it was worth more. But then I saw you ask if $200 was too much so I knew what you meant and deleted that part. I had also typed that I thought $75 - $100 would be good, even if there were some touch ups you would have to do, because you would have had to pay a professional $200 or more for the same job. Then I thought what I typed sounded snooty and pushy, so I deleted that part since I was deleting the first part too.

Thanks Serate! I was thinking $200, but I think we'll just do $100-150. He's supposed to come back to do the one piece. If he fixes any of the "flaws" then it'll be closer to the $150... This guy is the main CubScout guy and he really does a lot for the scouts, so I'd like to give him a little more....

Twinkie I use one of the porters in my apartment building, he does work for me on his day off or he recommends someone, depending on the work.

Twinkie you could try handyman.com, I saw a commercial for it and plan to try it myself. I have also heard that Home Depot may have that service as well.
