      Good point. Though you are of course right, and it will cost money in perpetuity, I think it is important to distinguish between locations and which top level domain one buys under. At least where I live, I have government guaranteed rights regarding switching registrars and keeping my domain, and a court is needed (or lack of payment) to force me to abandon my domains. That way I avoid the problem of vendor lockinn.

        What do you want to bet that Trump’s frown (or Putin’s, or Nazinyahu’s) is not sufficient to pull the domain from under you, your country’s regulations be damned?
