You can do what I'm doing and investigate those registrars which
let you pay in Zeros, er, Euros: http://www.domainnamebuyersguide.com/

I can't spell it correctly. :-)  Which is part of my point.  If you
use what you're thinking of, each visitor will either have to get a
hyperlink to the site or a physical item with the URL on it.  If it
was, say, www.WichitaGamer.com you could have it on a sign, say it
to someone, etc.  My test is you should be able to hear it once and 
be able to later go to the web and type it in.  I think it would be
cheaper in the long run to have one like that.  I admit this is a
bit of a hobby horse of mine so I'll drop the topic.
