www.dhs.org, but suppose you wanted a free name like www.andrewjudge.com,
you would have to register with NSI, who is responsible for the top level
domains. Andrewjudge.dhs.org would be possible, because the records are
controlled by DHS.org, you may want to read up some about domain names in
general to understand this better.

Most only update the DNS record once a day, about 6:00 in the morning for
mine. Also, DNS takes time to propagate. So if you change a record, some
third world country may not get your new address for days. This rarely
happens, though.
