Huh? We host websites, numerous ones, and have never purchased a domain name for someone without being the holder of everything, registrar included. None of our clients have ever asked to be listed. And most need hand-holding. But billable hand-holding. I can say that I had one client buy two sites, along with a lot of other work from me. Then never paid. If I hadn't retained all rights he could have gone and used the websites that *I* paid for, and he didn't. Now I have an unenforceable judgment b/c he doesn't own anything. I'm one in a long line of unpaid creditors that came after me.

I think that's the level of service most folks expect from their registrar/reseller. It's unfortunate there's even a market for hand-holding, but I guess there is.

Let's talk a little more about "ownership" and retaining control.
