[ale] Preferred domain registrars?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Good idea to keep them separate.

We often acquire other companies and it makes life difficult because the hosting company will say THEY own the domain rather than the company that was paying them for the hosting and registration.  While this is technically true since they are the Registrant of record it may not be legally true.
Since we do our own web servers we have no interest in the hosting but do want the registration so we can point acquired customer base at our web server.

True. I'm happy with my hosting provider, but not so happy that I want
them to manage my domain registration.

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions so far!
