when you want to sell the domain, users can track the domains registrar change history, and changing registrars every year would influence your sale negatively..
Great share.. Advantage Namecheap: you get free private registration. UAA: Changes in registrar history doesn't influence domain value... some buyer may get finicky but there are few such blokes.
If domain is good and buyer is interested, than, it does not matter how many times you switch registrars.
