The key is to make a clear distinction between domain creation/registration
and website hosting.
Most (if not all) webhosters offers domain names registration services.
There is a huge bet and but on this point.
A number of Webhosters want to hold people hostage on their hosting services,
years after years.

A true domain registrar services should just offer the service
of registering a name with ICANN which assume they offer temporary parking
of your new domain name on their server.
This until you decide which hoster best fit your needs.

We assume that you invent a specific name (or acronym) which do not exist on the web.
This is different from buying a name already owned by a speculator
himself waiting for a real user (like you)to buy it from him.
Another point relates to companies who want to force the sale of other
services with the domain name.
My final point is to tell about a consistent naming of your services to be delivered on the web.This may imply a multiname strategy,hence several domain names which will lead to a single master web site.
