Companies that join the network will get a monthly commission if consumers who visit their sites also click on TeleDomains banner ads and sign up for the toll-free number service. <P>Sonnenschein said the company is in the middle of negotiations with several potential partners but declined to discuss the deals. <P>WhataDomain creates and purchases domain names and then sells them to its customers. <P><!-- TextEnd --><!-- TL --> <P> <CENTER><FONT face=arial size=2><A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/mailto?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdailynews.yahoo.com%2Fh%2Fcn%2F20000410%2Ftc%2F20000410247.html&amp;title=Net%20names%20get%20linked%20to%20toll-free%20numbers">E-mail this story</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;<A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/cn/20000410/tc/20000410247.html">Printer-friendly format</A></FONT></CENTER><!-- /TL --><!-- MTFSID 0:2718085:7645365:7665149:23214452:27169405 --></TD><!-- YNEWS:NewStoryPage --> <TD align=right vAlign=top><!-- SpaceID=23214454 loc=NE noad --> <P><!-- NewStoryPages --> <TABLE bgColor=#dcdcdc border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 hspace="0"> <TBODY></TBODY></TABLE></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- YNEWS:/NewStoryPage --> <P> <HR SIZE=0> <P> <CENTER> <FORM action=http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news><INPUT name=p size=25><INPUT type=submit value=Search> <A href="http://search.news.yahoo.com/search/news/options">Advanced</A><BR><SMALL><B>Search:</B>&nbsp;<INPUT CHECKED name=c type=radio value="">&nbsp;Stories&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT name=c type=radio value=news_photos>&nbsp;Photos&nbsp;&nbsp;<INPUT name=c type=radio value=fullcov>&nbsp;Full Coverage</SMALL><INPUT name=n type=hidden value=10></FORM></CENTER> <P> <P><A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000410/tc/index.html">Apr 10</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000409/tc/index.html">Apr 09</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000408/tc/index.html">Apr 08</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000407/tc/index.html">Apr 07</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000406/tc/index.html">Apr 06</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000405/tc/index.html">Apr 05</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000404/tc/index.html">Apr 04</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000403/tc/index.html">Apr 03</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000402/tc/index.html">Apr 02</A> | <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/tc/cn/story.html?s=v/cn/20000401/tc/index.html">Apr 01</A> <P> <HR SIZE=0> <SMALL><A href="http://help.yahoo.com/help/news/">Questions or Comments</A><BR></SMALL><SMALL> <CENTER>Copyright © 2000 <A href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo!</A> and <A href="http://dailynews.yahoo.com/cnet/?http://www.news.com/">CNET</A>.
