Thanks, I just recalled someone talking about checking availability and a day 
later the site was taken, which is what I'm afraid of.

So you are saying that everyone at
http://www.isoc.org.il/domain_heb/registration.html
is ok?

As for cost, they all seem the same price (80 NIS a year)

It's not an Israely one, but I heard some horror stories regarding goDaddy for 
example (freezing domain names, etc.)

I'm looking to setup a basic site for my wife for a small business.
it will probably be mostly html, maybe some php to allow her to change some 
aspects without going into html (basic dynamic content creation based on file in 
the directory or simple inclusion / processing of text files).

No need to collect data, backup, etc. Possibly only mail support to setup a 
contact me page.

I would be happy if it will be high volume since it would say a lot of potential 
customers, but I'm guessing pretty low traffic.

Would prefer something relatively cheep as a start to see how things pick up.
Once there is some cache inflow, it's easier to justify cache outflow ...
