Wink Free domain names from UK2.net!

Hi guys, I came across this and after posting it on another forum someone suggested I post it here. (If you'd prefer not to use the aff links the url is obvious!)

I doubt this was intentional but UK2.net have just released a couple of voucher codes valid for any order including domains:

Exclusive Commission Junction Voucher code
Code: CJ20080331
Valid from: Now
Valid Until: 31/03/2008
Value: £5
Valid with: All UK2 purchases

Valentines Days Voucher As the day of romance is fast approaching we have created a Valentines Day voucher worth £10.
Code: uk2loveday
Valid from: Now
Valid Until: 14/02/2008
Value: £10
Valid with: All UK2 purchases

Use the £10 one for single domain purchases and you are charged £0.00! (Just tried it.. it works!)

(Please use [affiliate link removed]... Cheers.)

Hope it's ok to post this here.. if not, I'm sure you'll let me know. Take it easy.

The problem is, it'll still cost you £11.75 through Nominet to get it away from them if you reg a .co.uk.

Yeah, guess it depends what you you are looking for - seems great for throw-away domains.

(Sorry about the aff links btw.)

Plus a fee to UK2, maybe, to release it?

Unhappy

Those charges are ridiculous! However, I've just tried and you can change the nameservers without having to buy the dns management (fortunately).

Well, I was being pessimistic, thinking it was too good to be true, and only got about 20 co.uk's, going to use the £5 off to get a lot more cheap by the end of the month. Sure I'll develop or sell them within a couple of years, if not - nothing lost.

Just a side note - I managed to register a few using their £5 coupon, but now it's not working - I paid for several domains, and they are still unregistered after a week... I guess they would find out after a while we're using the coupons, but they could at least refund my money... Otherwise it's moneyclaimsonline time....

That doesn't sound good. Some of the "free" ones took a couple of days for me, but I've not used the £5 coupon. Please keep us posted on how it goes.
