Why does your *ISP* need to handle domain registration? Why not do it yourself directly with a domain registrar? Many domain registrars offer DNS too at no extra charge - that way you keep control of DNS and domains and you can manage any migrations yourself. > Also, if I paid for a domain for say 10 years, do I have to pay full > price all over again? If you are listed as the administrative contact on a domain, then you have the authority to transfer that domain to another registrar. -- Aj. _______________________________________________ New York PHP User Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/show_participation.php
