Are there advertisements [of any kind] on Yahoo-registered domain names? Is Yahoo the best to register with?

I'm making a website for my father's small business and I have a few questions about registering a domain name. I've built websites before, but never had my own domain name to work with and I'm a little confused. My first question is where are the best - but also cheap - places to register a domain name? I am planning on using Yahoo's domain registration service, but if there's some place I'm missing that's better, please feel free to tell me! My other, more important question is this: will there be advertisements of any kind on my domain name, if I register it on Yahoo? Let's say I register the domain name dadsbusiness.com and use basic HTML to upload a few web pages - will there be any popups or any ads on the site itself? I've looked all over the Yahoo pages devoted to domain name registration and I can't find the answer to that ANYWHERE. Anyone who can tell me, straight-out, if Yahoo-registered domain names have ads on any of the webpages will not only get ten points, but will get all my appreciation!

1. "Will i have ads or not?" is based on your hosting, not the domain name. I host with yahoo - i pay $12 a month - This includes hosting, domain name, e-mail @ my domain name and no ads. I've also purchased more domain names and simply linked them up with my hosting. Pretty simple and no one realizes that I only host at one place. All of my webpages seem like seperate sites. And even though I have html knowledge, I just go ahead and use their html builder which, after entering your yahoo ID & pw will publish your files for you. I've never had any downtime with my hosting. Never had a problem with customer support. I highly recommend yahoo for both hosting and buying your domain. And I honestly don't think you can get a cheaper domain than what they offer here. Believe me, I searched for days before choosing yahoo!! I believe that new customers get a 1 yr domain for about $3. And as far as hosting (includes domain) its generally $8.95 for 3 months and $11.95 thereafter (for cheapest plan). If you have anymore questions, please feel free to either e-mail me at chris@ksh49.com, or send a message through yahoo 360 or you can IM rt49andellis. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!! And by the way, I'm an affiliate for yahoo. Decided to sign up as an affiliate because I had a few people asking me to build sites for them. Yahoo is very reliable so thats who I chose for hosting. I didn't post in hopes of a sale, only posted because I hate getting ripped off and hate seeing others ripped off!!! (That's why I didnt post a link for you) I rememer that when I first started with HTML, I paid $80 for a domain and $30 a month for hosting. I was NOT happy when I found better deals!!!!! If you decide to host with them, let me know, I'll send you a link and we'll split the profit. :)
