>>The landscape of host companies is changing fast enough that I do not want a 10 year commitment to a company playing by old rules in a game where the rules keep changing. With the likes of godaddy around now pushign the envelope, can you imagine having an expensive long-term commitment to network solutions?

I'm talking about registering a domain name. No one's making any long term commitment to a domain name registrar or a hosting company. They only help manage the process. If a registrar company goes belly up, why would I lose my domain name? ICANN would facilitate the transfer to another company.
