While the domain costs $8.99/year, you have to "deposit" money to your account that the cost is subtracted from, and if you do it with a credit card there is a small fee associated. I think you can deposit $10.00, from which they take $1.00, then they give you a $0.25 "rebate", leaving you with $0.26 in your account once you've paid for the domain. It varies depending on how much you deposit, but in general I just think of it as more like $10.00/year for a domain.
That being said, I'd pay a lot more than that just for their clean (although slightly dated looking) interface. I'll be switching the rest of my domains to them in another month or so.
nearlyfreespeech is primarily a hosting service, with the distinction that you only pay for the storage and bandwidth that you actually use. So the way they bill you is, you put say $20 into your account with them and they'll deduct small amounts at a time from that.
I guess most people using their registrar service also use them as a host, so it makes sense to pay for it in the same way.
