For many reasons, I would advise him not to host with his his domain 
registrar. It is wise to keep those two business relationships separate 
and independent.
(quick example: if a spam report comes into your registrar, true or not, 
your website can be taken down in accordance with the registar's TOS 
--if they can do that. It has "allegedly" happened more than once 
recently with the registrar whos name begins with the opposite of alto 
and ends with the compliment to madre. Best to keep the keys to the 
kingdom in separate hands IMHO)
