Whom would you recommend for domain name registration? Qualifications:

* Cheap!

* Supports transparent forwarding (so once someone gets to your pages, all links and such appear to have your domain name, not the actual site address.)

* Supports multiple email account forwarding in the base price.

* Isn't proprietary--doesn't require you to use their site hosting, and allows you to switch hosts or transfer your domain name to a different registration service for at most a nominal fee.

I've had to switch ISPs a number of times, and it's always been painful, so I want to ensure that once I stake a claim on a domain name, I'll NEVER have to relinquish "ownership" or be stuck with a particular registrant (and the caprices of its rates, level of service or eventual merger/dissolution.)
