Sounds like good advice to me.

    Well for a start, using the same company will make it much harder to move. Often the price shoots up after a year too. And then there is the risk of somebody getting access, it is easier usually to hack a website than a registrar so a cracker or their could get access to your domain through a security flaw in your website. Also, companies are usually either better at domain management or hosting rather than both, I have huge respect for good support teams like Krystal Hosting have,which is easier when they are focused. I'm not saying don't use the same company, but I always tend to prefer them separate.

      I understood question: "I was told to avoid registering and hosting at the same company. What do you think about that?" as "I was told to avoid registering and hosting at gandi.net. What do you think about that?" If it was meant as asked than there maybe some truth to it. But than again if you are confident in how some company handles one area than that may give some credibility of their work in other areas. When I started using gandi they were just a domain registrar. And I am yet to use them as hosting provider. I agree somewhat with your view, it can be true in some cases :)
