With NAMEzero (www.namezero.com), domain name registrar iDirections.com will allow users to register Internet addresses ending in .com, .net and .org, waiving the usual $US70 fee. Aimed primarily at consumers, the service lets users build a "personal Web portal" that can incorporate free e-mail, instant messaging, and links to online retail stores and other Internet content, the company said.iDirections.com will pay the required fee for registering the domain name, hoping to make money through advertising and marketing deals, and by offering online vendors a spot on the portal pages that users create, said a company spokesman.
