It's about half that cost. I know a lot of people hate GoDaddy, but they are inexpensive and have great tech support.

They've got great deals on transfers right now, and for hosting try 1dollar-webhosting.com. They charge $1.00 a month for shared hosting, and they're where I host the New Adventures of Queen Victoria's site.

at the place where registered?

If you don't want to lose the domain (which is a great name by the way) you could always register the name for about 10 bucks a year (maybe less for longer terms and also depending where you register) and either host it from your own computer (clunky and a PITA and no help on maintenance but it's free - assuming your internet connection can handle it) OR just not have it hosted anywhere until you have time to do something with it. You can register the domain and retain the rights to the name and that address will most likely resolve to a parking page letting visitors know the domain is currently owned but not much else. (how the parking page looks is pretty much up to your domain registrar).
