You guessed > it....about $10 to register. Lots, in my opinion. Making changes to your domain registry information should be easy -- and I've dealt with *many* that don't make it so. Baremetal is really responsive (usually within two hours), and makes transfers and changes to registration info easy from their site. While you shouldn't have to make changes to registrar information very often, when you *do* have to, it's a real bonus to have someone who's willing to assist you if there are any issues (lost passwords, stale email addresses, and the like). I manage about 150 domains for my customers, and dealing with the "cheap" registrars some of them used to first register their domains is almost invariably a pain in the rear. If you register a domain, and the registrar drops off the map, you can easily transfer the domain to another registrar, usually. I keep transferring my customer .ca domains to Baremetal as they come up for renewal, since they just include a year's renewal in their transfer fee (about $25, I think).
