Unscrupulous companies will register it in their name and then make it difficult for you to move it to another hosting company. Register the name yourself and then point the authoritative DNS records at the host's DNS. If you need to switch hosts, you can simply go to the registrar and edit the DNS records to point at a new set of authoritative servers. The registrar is still a possible point of failure, so read up on the various ones that exist and see how well regarded they are. -- Charles Calvert Celtic Wolf, Inc.
