Moving to another server

Does anyone know if I can keep my domain name if I move form HFW to a decent host ? I sent this an email asking but you know ,,, who knows when or if I get a reply and when I do it will be " this has to be escalated to another department andf bla bla bla

First of all, who is the domain registrar?  Is it Host for Web?  If so, then you might want to see about moving the domain name to a new registrar.  The domain name does not have to be with the company you are hosting on.  However, I have heard bad things about HfW; not sure if they would hassle you or not  If your domain name was a free one included with hosting and you want to drop hosting, then you will have to buy the domain name from the company.  I had to do this recently for a client that moved off of a host that gave her a free domain name.  Moving domain names to a new registrar is easy, you make sure the domain is unlocked, then you get the authorisation key to move it, then just follow the steps; the registrar will list the steps needed.  Be sure you own the domain before you drop hosting; as I said, if you was given a free domain, you don't own it; you will have to buy it from the hosting company'; which would be the same as if you brought an additional domain name.  If they try to give you any difficulties, tell them you will contact ICANN; a registrar can lose the right to sell domain names; you have to apply and pay to registrar domain names and their are rules to follow.

yes you keep your domain, for those who is server

you can transfer your existing site to the new server, I send you a private message

Staying put for the moment. Rms is working . may still move around the end of the month. See how it goes. Thanks for everyones input.

I NEVER take a free domain name from a host, for this reason. I buy my domain from a outside source (cheapdomain.com). That way I can take it with me no matter where I host.

I did pay for the domian name actually .

 it will be the end of your commitment to one year

Following the purchase of your domain with your hosting.
