Is it possible to get Domain Name Registration services through Microsoft? I am currently using two well-known companies for two different domains and I am not happy with either of them. One of the companies is a Shared Hosting provider. The other company was at one time the leading Domain Name Registrar in the industry.

The first company is cheap and inexpensive, but their security is light and I will be ending my service with that company in favor of a low cost Windows Azure plan. The second company has good security but it charges too much for something as trivial as Domain Name Registration.

BTW: I don’t know if it matters, but my domain name is of the format [someNotRealAndBogusDomainName].net

Microsoft does not provide domain name system but you can buy web hosting services from Microsoft. There are many types of web hosting plans available at Microsoft. You have to just visit the link given by Anagio.

While Microsoft is a registrar i'm not sure they offer domain name registration services to the public. They do list ASP hosting services here www.microsoft.com/web/hosting/home it's not MS hosting or registering domain names.
