You are correct Rocky, that is a FORCED advertisement, you have no control over that. I still didnt pay for anything so technically it is free, I think they mention leaving it there 'cause its supposedly under BETA, but I cant recall for sure.

JOE - I too have tried to use their service and I AGREE with you 110%, I created a quick and dirty website for two reasons: * To test out the SITE and see what it offers in comparison to Google Apps for Your Domain *AND to see if it really, truly, does give you the DOMAIN NAME for free and my results were YES it really does give you the DOMAIN for free. It does NOT cost you a dime to buy the domain. and in comparison to GOOGLE's services it comes close but I think googles approcah is much more user-friendly. I set up the site www.ideafordell.com mainly for myself and my friends, and for an idea I wanted to try and get to Mr. Dell himself. The servers NEVER took a hit even after they were bombarded by the DIGG effect after my site made the front page. joseguia
