It is just not smart to do it, even if the risk is minimal, it is better to keep them seperate. If you end up in a dispute or issue with your host you can easily move your site.
Triumph, I would never have thought of that. The first few sites I did, I picked a host and then registered with them because it seemed the simplest thing to do, and I didn't really know much difference between registrars at the time. But you bring up an excellent point.
