Good point. If your DNS is the same company that you are moving away 
from and you're not hosting your website with them, then it's possible 
that they won't continue your DNS and your nameservers will change to 
the default nameservers of the company you are moving to. If that's the 
case, you should probably ask for help from someone knowledgeable.

Oh god yes!

I think that's for bulk users. Two different sites report their .com 
price at $20.17 now (you don't find that out until you're well into the 
registration process, disgusting). I do agree that they are probably 
good for bulk users. WHMCS has a very good deal with Enom, $10.59 for 
.com. They charge some for credit card/paypal but you can also send them 
a check for no surcharge. Bad news is Enom is still charging for whois 
protection.
