You might ask if you get a large fries as a bonus...also, you might want to check to see if they register you in BOTH of the .BIZ 32-bit Proof-of-Concept Registries. For some period of time, one of those Registries was not even operational, despite people's claims about their Registry prowess. http://www.thepricedomain.com/index.php?domainlist=biz http://www.powerpipe.com....$7.99 http://www.10-domains.com...$9.00 http://www.webhero.com....$9.95 http://www.registerfly.com....$9.99 http://www.iaregistry.com...$11.95 http://www.totalregistrations.com....$12.00 http://www.namesecure.com....$12.00 http://www.domaininvestigator.com....$12.47 It may be a long time before the .BIZ "tribe" works together to deploy commercial-grade, 128-bit DNS services. In the interim, there appears to be plenty of work to do to make that happen for .COM. I hope you consider protecting your NMA.COM name in the 128-bit DNS .COM Registry.
