Always think ahead, read the TOS...
I offer domain names, If I am removed from the loop because my company closes, Enom will take over. But before I became able to sell domain names, I was careful NOT to place all my eggs in one basket. so many companies have very different policies, godaddy, gives you 10 days after the name expires, then charges you an $80 fee to redeem it, Web.com TOS says the day it expires, they can purchase it and it is theirs, I have read many "Host here get domain FREE" TOS that state that the free domain name even if you transfer it is the HOSTING COMPANIES, so now they really have you. Then there are the others, that your domain is your domain, and if you want to take it and play elsewhere, you are free to go., My agreement with Enom clearly states, If the domain is paid for I will NOT interfere in the customer, renewing, transfering, etc, etc. That means if they owe for hosting I am NOT allowed to hold their name hostage, and really, this is web hosting, if someone owes you 5 or 10 dollars, how much did it really cost you?
