Domain Name Game

Quick question...if I purchase a domain name (ie greaselightning.com) through Wordpress, can I transfer it to a different cms (?) in the future if i am not happy with wordpress' performance? For instance could I go to Joomla and take my name with me or does wordpresss somehow own it? This and any other tips you have for a new website creator/user would be greatly appreciated.
Just buy your domain elsewhere and point it wherever you want. There's No Reason, whatsoever, to pay $17 for a domain name today. None. $10 and under at lots of registrars.

If you haven't regged the name yet you might want to not publicise The adress you are aiming for. Someone might get inspired to beat you to it.

Nthing - always get your domain from a domain registrar (networksolutions.com; godaddy.com, etc.) and get hosting elsewhere.
