Default Need some help, hard to explain.

O.K. Here is the issue. For some reason one of my sites hosting companies does not allow you to register your URL for more than a year at a time. (Expires:29-nov-2006 when you check whois)
I want to transfer my domain registration to another company that allows you to register 10 years at a time but want to remain with my hosting company.
My question is, I have 3 domains pointing to the same site. I have 301 redirects pointing the other two URL's to my main URL. Do I need to transfer all 3 domains/URL's to the other registration company? Or can I transfer the one that the 301 redirects point to?
Does that make any sense?
HELP

The 301's should have nothing to do with who is the registar with each url. I know plenty of agents that have 301's pointing from GoDaddy registered urls and then their main one is with the design co and they have no issues. At the same time why not just move them all so you only have one account to worry about, just a thought.

My hosting company includes registration of 3 domains in the price of hosting. So if I register the other 2 domains it will cost me a lot of money. I was hoping to get away with just doing the main one and keep the redirected ones with my hosting company.

Should be fine from what I know others are doing.

Kyle,

I have purchased different domains from different companies & have some of them pointing to my default domains. But like Ken said, it's a hassle to know which domain is from where. Took me a while when transferring my site over to REW to figure out where my 301 redirect domain was purchased from. Actually, I knew where it was purchased but I forgot how to access my account there.
