about the domain name

there was a thread that said i can just use something like
http://######.###/~username

instead of buying the domain name

i tried buying one at surpassdomain and
it said the registration failed, plus they are not sending me
reply...



anyways, i was wondering,

if i want to sign up for the hosting plan, can i just put in
http://www.surpasshosting.com/~username

when they ask me for the domain name?

because on the bottom it says "click here if you don't have domain name"
but they just give you the link to surpassdomain.com

please answer asap. thank you.

You can just type in domain.com

Do not type in anything else or any other characters, or the order will not go through.

It shouldn't have let you just put in "domain"

You have to put domain.com

Do you have another web browser? Please try to order again with a different browser, there seems to be something weird going on there.

Try to put another domain.
Anything, it does not have to exist or belong to you, it is just so that the account gets set up.
