*Note from Marshall Heller: "We will want at some point to transfer the Domain registration over to you all (NCBEA).  Currently it is part of my account where I have many domains registered with Godaddy.com.  Also, just recently Godaddy began doing web hosting, too; and I have been using them for a couple of domains and am very pleased with the performance, service and pricing.  I think the best thing to do for your group is to transfer the domain over to you all when your web hosting comes due (October 2005) and at that point if my experience with Godaddy hosting is still positive we will want to also transfer your hosting to them.  This will save you all some money (upwards of $60 per year) and consolidate your hosting and domain registration into a single account making it much easier for you to manage your web activity.  Also, Godaddy’s support has always been excellent."
