InterNic was the first institution that regulated domains for the world wide web.
There are now over a hundred of these institutions established for assigning internet addresses, and they are all listed at InterNic's web site.
-
Not all registrars are alike. Some charge a lot more for registering a domain name, while others, for exactly the same service, charge a lot less.
The author prefers NameSecure for their very reasonable prices.

CSS
Cascading Style Sheets are standard web page format, for reasons described by the W3C Consortium in their W3C Sheets Home Page, which also offers a free introduction and tutorials to CSS. CSS, now in version 2, CSS2, has been a standard since 1996 then CSS1. (2005) PC Internet browsers are late to comply, and do not agree on how CSS1 and CSS2 are handled.

HTML
HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, for web page scripting, is one of the more basic scripting languages for writing web pages. Following are reference resources and tutorials for HTML scripting.
