I dont know about free. Im happy with Godaddy as I host them and my experience with their CS has been great so when your dropping 10s of thousands of dollars into a business, 12.99 is not much. My gotocolombia url was bought for 12.99 last year and the same name for many other countries is at 20K + now.

URL names are big business...

I checked the three I liked above, escape2cambodia is 12.99 and escapetocambodia is 3,000...
