[quote samintx]I was watching a movie and a commercail came on for a company that gave you one year free rental on an available domain name.
That sounds like a huge scam, if the domain is available you can buy it outright for about $7/year and you don't need them at all. If you rent it from them, then that company actually owns it, not you, and can then charge you whatever they want (ie. extortion) for you to continue using it after that free first year.
