hello,
I have a website hosted with a shared hosting company since 2007, I (sadly) used their free domain registration along with the hosting manly because i wasn’t aware of the disadvantages.
Now I want to move to a VPS from another company.

I paid annually, do they HAVE TO refund me the months not used if I cancel now?
What happens to the domain? Could that become "mine" or do I have to transfer it and request the unlocking? I don’t want to end in a situation where they won’t give me the domain because they registered it for free.
