The message is standard ally a warning that is supposed to protect MySpace users form getting their password stolen. Even though they mean well, it could really hurt your sign-up rate.
For cheap domain names go to GoDaddy.com. I use them myself.

Also on GoNogging.com, there is a section called “requests” where people post jobs that they need completed, often there are requests for a jingle or song to be created, and with the creation of that jingle or song they pay you. Something to look into! :)
