I can second this advice, when all the smaller registrars were allowed 
to dip into the com/net/org waters a few years back I decided to switch 
from the big green ogre known as NetSol, but some got screwed up along 
the way and I ended up losing my personal 1stvamp.com domain, which was 
inexplicably swept up by a Korean domain sitter..god knows why as I 
never had the sort of money he was after, and the domain was useless to 
anyone but me (because it had been one of my earliest Nom de 
Keyboard's), finally got it back after a year (but stayed with using 
1stvamp.org as I'd grown to like it..strange the attachments we make to 
such pointless thing hey?)
