In addition I noticed that now directnic is NOT CHARGIN for domiain name 
registration with their 12 month hosign plan (see bottom of page at:

Since thye had been charging $15 a year for the domain name registration 
that means that the combined charge of the hosting and the domain name 
registration is only +- $60 a year not $75.
