If you (the designer) has control of the domain do to contract then it is not unethical. When writing this I was thinking of a few clients that we have that switched hosting to us and they were not under contract by their previous host. But the previous host held their domain name hostage so to say, and would not release it to them as a way to force them to keep their site with them. That is what I meant by unethical.

But you also made a statement that it is unethical for a hosting company or design firm to retain the clients domain in the designers account. Many times a client is under contract and when the domain is in the clients name they are able to steal the domain, and the unpaid website with no recoarse. Clients that are under optimization or maintenance agreements should not be able to move their website without paying their contract. Just like a builder puts a lien on a home or property for their protection. There are more unethical clients out there, than there are unethical designers.
