[LUG]Re: Domain and Website

[Alex Charrett <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't believe the domain is paid for by GoDaddy.  We only use GoDaddy as 
a domain registrar and my understanding is that Matt (very kindly) 
continues to pay for the domain.

We don't need to transfer it to another doman registrar to be able to host 
it as we please, we already do that.  We don't use any other aspect of 
GoDaddy's services.
