Re: What is in a name ? And who should it be registered for ?

Well if they didn't pay you up front than I would say you did nothing wrong
by having it in your name.  However if they have paid me in advnanced or
have a signed contract with me than I would put it in there name.  I havn't
registered any sites in my name before because I always require a contract.

When I told them that we wanted all of our costs back including time wasted
preparing the pages, our sales peoples time etc.  We were told they would
give us 100 UK pounds for the name register and charges - this equates to
about 140 dollars [I think].
