OT: Non-Israeli domain name registration.

[אורי]

There is less competition and less money in the .il market (in total, not
per domain) therefore prices are higher and service quality is lower. I
think there are hundreds of .com etc. registrars and only about 10 .il
registrars. If you need the .il I'm currently using www.box.co.il, if not I
would recommend an international domain name. There are lots of extensions
but the most popular are com/net/org. I would recommend having at least one
of .com/.org version of your domain name, depending if you are for profit
or non-profit.
