I decided to keep everything as is and any new domains I'll try 
namecheap for any new domains I need this year to try them out.  


I never quite understood this entire DNS racket.  What does one have to 
do to become a registrar where you can hand out domain names and charge 
yearly rent?  The forces of monopoly may not completely succeed with 
SOPA but they'll keep trying until they do.  If that happens isn't it 
possible that a bunch of parallel sets of root DNS servers surface where 
someone typing google.com could get some phony google.com hosted in some 
off shore tax haven.  But the pirate Internet would still resolve 
piratebay.org, free of censorship, and making us all criminals for 
pointing our DNS servers to the wrong root servers.
