I believe that most have a policy of giving the previous owner first dibs on the domain after it expires (usually you have a month or so), after that, anyone can buy it. Most DN registries will allow you to transfer the name (either to another account on the same provider or to a different provider entirely), but the process can vary widely and will involve at least 3 steps: the new DNS requesting the transfer, the old DNS confirming the transfer, and the new DNS finalizing it. There will likely be a fee levied by one or both sides of this process. Check the documentation on Neil's provider to see how to begin the process. Also check your old account to make sure that you don't have the name locked or anything. That’s all up to the company that registered the domain name for you.

It is usually about $15/domain / year to renew... U shouldn't put your friends full name on here...not fair to them. :) u can use your domain name on ANY web host you want….you have to transfer the DNS (host does this for a small fee).
