This is funny timing, I just got my renewal notice today for my domain,
after some poking about I decided to transfer it.  I had heard some good
things about godaddy.com, I was able to get 3 years for under $15.  I
had to balance the risk of issues with the transfer with the savings,
but I don't use the domain for any kind of business, just home stuff.  I
was using dotster.com for my registrar, but it was going to be $15 a
year, $30 in my pocked beats it being in someone else's.

Once the dust settles with the transfer I'll see about fixing the auto
update issue.  I've only had my address change 2 or 3 times in 4 years,
it's something I can deal with by hand, but automation is best.
