Do I own my domain or your company?
When I search whois database with my domain, I got following information. Clearly, it shows that not me but your company owns this domain name. Could that cause any problem in the future if should I decide go to another hosting service for any reason?
Thanks you!

Thanks for your question about domain names and ownership. I'm happy to help you. With what you posted I don't see any indication of InMotion Hosting owning the domain. Melbourne IT is the registrar we use to purchase domains on behalf of the customer. If you were to change hosts the domain could be taken with you or transferred as you see fit.
Thanks!
