Thanks... that's what I went with, in the end. There was something
wrong with my newsreader - it didn't pick up any messages, including my
own post to this thread, so I finally used GoDaddy. I didn't see where
it said what future rates would be (renewal) so I was a bit nervous
about being held hostage in future years, so what you've said here
reassures me.
