As someone who just went through the nightmare of transferring a web site 
from an out-of-business *host* to a new host, I'm going to take issue with 
the part about listing yourself as the administrative contact. According to 
the procedure I went through, the admin /is/ the owner of the site. It took 
about 4 days to handle the transfer of the domain /back/ to the owner. I 
have yet to be concerned about re-newing a domain, and perhaps I'll come to 
regret my decision, but I believe the site owner should be the 
administrative contact since that is the person/group that has first crack 
at changes, modifications, renewals, etc.
