Following on from my debacle with fasthosts, I'm now faced with a new situation I'm not sure how best to resolve.
I have a .co.uk domain name registered with nominet and that won't lapse for another year or so. It was initially registered with 1and1 but I moved it to fasthosts when I created my hosting package.
Now that I want to cancel my fasthosts account, I don't know what to do with the domain name.
I don't actually need it right now so there's no real need AFAICS to have the DNS pointing to a valid server.
However, if I cancel my fasthosts account, will I lose access to my domain? Will it be "locked" to their DNS servers? Do I have to move it somewhere else even though I'm not using it?
I could reassign it to 1and1 although they're going to charge me. Not much, and I'm happy to do it, but only if it's worth it of if I somehow lose control if I leave it with fasthosts with whom I'll no longer have a hosting service.
