FreeBSD is available by FTP at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD, or on CDROM from Walnut Creek CDROM - http://www.cdrom.com or send mail to info@cdrom.com.

In your case, you probably want your own name, so you'll have to deal with the InterNIC and pay your money to get a name. Your ISP could help you there. Hope this helps, and good luck!
