John is correct. The cost of registering the domain name is about $70 for two
years.
My server is free for email use (as spouse of a university employee) but it
does not allow me web storage space. I would not like to move the pages to
sites such as geocities, xoom or some others because the pop ups and banners
drive me crazy and I frequently have trouble accessing some of the sites due
to heavy usage. Having had to totally redo an angelfire site after their
crash was not a fun thing either.
I DO think that having a domain registration for the state page would be a
good thing.
