From: David Kramer <Dskramer at concentric.net> Will MediaOne let me set up my own domain name? MediaOne won't handle domain names, and doesn't want to, because that would tempt you to run a server, which would cause extra load, but not increase their revenues. Worse, there is no guarantee that MediaOne won't change your IP address, and you've got to make sure that your DNS records track your IP address. Though I've heard of people doing things that patch over the problem, such as when their system gets its IP address, sending e-mail or using FTP to update the DNS source files on the system that is serving DNS for them.
