Domain Registration / Parking

toby · 14-02-2006, 11:05:06 AM

Hi All,

I'm new to this and have a lot to learn! I'm looking to register around 5 .uk domain names in the next week or two and I was just looking for some customer experience / feedback from you guys about Domain Registration Providers. There are so many registration providers it can be a little confusing to the uninitiated. I've looked at ukreg and 123-reg who seem cheap but maybe they're big and have just got good websites?

Can anyone suggest providers that they consider to be efficient, cheap etc etc?

Also any providers you would recommend avoiding, bad experiences of?

Thank you,
Toby

OUT with:
active24.co.uk
vi.net
simply.com
easyspace.com
ukdomains
cheapdomainnames.co.uk

IN with:
enom
123reg
1&1
GoDaddy

Though GoDaddy doesn't tell you how to transfer your domain out

123reg and ukreg are both fine in my opinion.

no issues with 123reg ...ever

i rate there system - quick to refund will cancel incorrect registrations without question, control panel that you can do most anything. Tranfers have no hidden costs - they will even show you how much you've spent - gulp!

Most professional and helpful Registrar I have found is http://www.domaincity.co.uk with easy to use control panel
and reasonable prices,plus they know what theyre doing .
