FreeBSD is a Unix-style operating system, derived from the 4.4BSD-Lite
sources.  It is used worldwide to drive web sites, ftp sites, irc servers,
ISPs, and hundreds of other uses.  

However, it can't create your own domain name; you have to do that through
the InterNIC.  It can certainly make use of a name that you've applied for
though.   :-)
