domain name registrar & shopping cart?

Anyone have a suggestion for a registrar of domain names that causes no
problems and, preferably, has a "terms of use" contract less than 50 pages
long?
Along the same lines, any reccomendations for a "shopping cart" service for
a web site selling merchandise? Or maybe a simple payment channel for order
completion.

Omnis Network at <http://www.omnis.com/>.

They broke apart their terms of use into "User Agreement" (short),
"Acceptable Use Policy" (shorter), and "Domain Name Registration Policy"
(not as short but not really long). They have other policies, but those
do not apply to registering domains. Their list of policies includes a
link to ICANN's "Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy".

I like Omnis because they accept paper bank checks, their prices are
low, and they will talk to me by toll-free phone (both technical issues
and billing).

Are taxes too high in the U.S.? Check the bar graph
at <http://www.rossde.com/taxes/trickling.html> to see.

You can skip that next time, it is obvious in which group you are posting.

You can skip naming the Subject again, too. If your newsreader is causing
this, it is borken.

Magento eCommerce Platform. PHP (Zend Framework) and MySQL-based. The
Community Edition is Open Source and for free (but not Free Software, IIRC).

<http://paypal.com/> – it does not get much simpler than that.

Sometimes, what you learn is wrong. If those wrong ideas are close to the
root of the knowledge tree you build on a particular subject, pruning the
bad branches can sometimes cause the whole tree to collapse.

I've been using GoDaddy for that. Runner-up was 1and1. HTH.
