Does it matter Who you use to register your domain name?
I have a bunch of domain names I want to register’. They will be separate from my web host because I want to own it.
In the past, I’ve used Godaddy, but they seem to be getting too expensive for a bunch of names.
does it matter what company I use to register names? What happens if my domain company goes ‘poof’ and disappears? Does my name go too?

Domain Name Service (DNS) is nothing more than a huge database which connects a common name with a specific IP address, no more, no less. ALL registrars do, is manipulate this database, so no registrar is any different from any other in what they DO. The difference is in what you PAY. When dealing with any site or server on the net, you do NOT need to know the common name or the domain name, but only the IP address. DNS just makes it easy for us frail humans to remember easy things like a common name instead of using the IP address. Once your browser queries the database and gets the IP address it needs, ALL other communication behind the scenes no longer uses the name but ONLY the IP address. If your registrar goes away, another can manipulate the data. Once the entry is made in the database, it stays there until it expires or is changed by another registrar. You only can query the database. The registrar can CHANGE the database. THAT is the difference between you and a registrar.And THAT is what you PAY for. Shop around and find the cheapest you can find and don’t worry about it.
Type this IP address into your browser:http://207.46.232.182
This is the same as if you typed in:http://www.microsoft.com
And THAT is what DNS does for you… YOU do not have to remember the IP address of Microsoft to get there from here.

It does not matter where you register you domain names. They are centrally registered and only managed by your domain name supplier. In your case you will be changing the name servers that the domain name is resolved by to the ones at your hosting company so even if your domain registrar goes broke your domain name will continue to function. Your renewal will still be with your original supplier so simply for convenience you should see if your hosting company will take on the registration (99% do). It’s usually an option in the Cpanel. If you can’t find it raise a ticket with your hosting company. I use http://www.BlueHost.com and its as simple as checking a tick box when you add on your new domain name.

Yes it does matter where you register!
Choose a reputable company. I had a domain name with a company called hostonce.com and I ended up losing the domain because of them. They never answered emails and provided no other way to contact them. They let my CC expire and I had no way to update it. Thousands of people had the same issue and ICANN even got involved.
If you decide to go with an unknown domain registrar make sure you check them out first.

I also found Godaddy expensive when you come to renew domain names.
I gradually moved all mine over to Namecheap.com and have had no problems at all.
You can get a discount coupon off the listed price too at http://www.namecheapcoupon.com
Keeping your domains and hosting separate is a good idea.
