While I don't have experience with Easily, this is normal if you're
using their servers.  It makes sense for hostmaster and abuse contacts
to go to them if they manage the domain.

But meaningless.  Freenetname were a company who gave out free .uk
domains, and would post your certificate to you on registration.  The
catch was that you had to use their 0845 dialup for $x mins/month or
they'd stop hosting it, and made you pay 75 quid to transfer it away.
Nominet allows ISPs to have a charge for handling tag transfers.
