Be very careful. Some unscrupulous companies charge stupid fees and/or
make it very difficult to let you move your domain to another hosting
company/registar/registration company. At the very least you should make
sure you are the registered owner of a domain. You should preferably
also be the admin contact, as this makes it easier (or not impossible,
in some cases) to move the domain elsewhere at some point in the future.
