Default domain names

when i created my website 16 months ago via office live it was there free one, i found a domain name and it was only a tenner for two years, whats likely to happen at the end of that 2 years will they email me and get me to pay again or do i have to do it? will then spank me on a renewal cost as they know they could prob get away with it?

payment is requested when a domains lease time is about to end, some will renew without telling you.
if you dont pay for renewal it will expire and be up for grabs to the public

also I found that when renewing a domain name after the initial period, the host rams the price up something absolutely bloody stupid!
