What's a domain worth?

Every web service needs a domain; an address to run under, just like your house needs an address otherwise when you wanted someone to visit they would have to try to find a floating house. It's pretty hard to find stuff when you don't know where it is; so your domain is pretty important, but not very expensive. Compared to other costs of running a business then it is ridiculously tiny, just a few pounds, so small that most domain companies have to sell other things to make any profit at all. But if you lost it, then the cost would count.
Most domain owners couldn't tell you where their account details are, or when their renewal is, or who they registered with and some had a friend of a friend register it; who now isn't a friend any more and quite likes hanging onto domains.
Even though the yearly financial outlay isn't that much for even the most niche top level domain, it is a vital business asset, just like any product, service or idea you sell, so it should be treated such. Details secure. Everything in your name. And in a safe place.
