If you purchase your domain name from Square, do you own it to take it somewhere else if you leave?

I am trying to find out if I purchase a domain name from Square, is it mines to use elsewhere if I ever leave square shopping?

In theory the answer is yes but I haven't gone through Square to purchase a domain name, I use the web hosting company I want to use for this purpose.

That being said, When you purchase a domain name you own it but the registrar may be Square, or whomever they are associated with, and in the future when you want to move to a different host they will have to release the domain and 'approve' the transfer.  Shouldn't be a big deal but it may take a few days to get all of the of the moving parts to come together.

 

A lot of times you can get really good deals on domain names from web hosting companies.  You just have to shop around.  I use BlueHost and they give you a free domain name for 1 year if you sign up for their hosting service.  I think GoDaddy has a similar deal.
