By the way, you also need to watch out for these fly by night and fake domain renewals. Know who you are supposed to renew your domain with so you don't get caught by one of these folks. I have had more than one client think that they renewed but actually they just paid money for some valueless "listing service" masquerading as domain renewal.

The time to get it all sorted out is before you need to. You don't want to find out you have a problem with your registrar on the day your ISP goes belly up or when someone tries to hijack your domain name. So.. take a moment now to dig into this. If you don't know who has control of your registrar, find out. If it is you, make sure you have account names and passwords and that any information they have about you (email, postal address, phone) is current and accurate.

Controlling your domain registration and DNS with your registrar is important; Look into it today.
