Folks - As an ISP I can tell you, its important that you make EXTREMELY
sure that the BILLING contact is set to someone who's an officer of your club
(with a perm address). DO NOT RELY on the ISP for this. Its YOUR DOMAIN.
In fact, only allow the ISP to be the technical contact only! They can then make
any changes to the DNS servers (thats all they needed) with technical.
Also, if your thinking of spending the cheapest amount of money to register
a domain name, remember those companies can and do go out of business!
I had a client who's business was on eRegister and it was an absolute pain
to prove he owned it (and keep it registered to him).

Thats thier way of attempting to force you to pay high amounts of money to get
it back.

The Administrative should be in your webmasters name, but again, I can not
stress
this enough, you MUST have the BILLING set to someone who's an officer of
your club with a permanent home address!
Oh, we do have plenty of videos in from our last even in December. Feel to look
at them at http://autox.carlc.com/ . In the Pictures, the 3 wheeling BSP vette
is
mine. Until I get that fixed (and a tow vehicle), that car's grounded.
Any questions, just ask,
Carl
