Varies a lot depending on where you are and what kind of service you want.
Here, you can get a shell acount for about $10/mo., UUCP feed for about
$50/mo., "unlimited" dialup, single-node SLIP for $99 month, "unlimited"
dialup gateway SLIP for $300/mo., leased line 56kbps for under $1k. Of
course, there are more options than that.
To register an Internet domain, you have to fill out an application and
send it off to the NIC. Any addresses fall under your domain. So I
registered iam.com, but not hobbes.iam.com, calvin.iam.com,
snoopy.iam.com, etc. If you are getting a dialup or UUCP feed, you have
to have an MX forwarder who collects all mail send to your domain and
gives it to you when you call for it. If you are getting a 24hr. reliable
connection, you have to set up a domain name server. You'll also have to
apply for a block of IP numbers.
Of course, IAM does consulting in networking (besides our own domain, we
set up scala.com)… 🙂
