Wink Domain Registration / Parking

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

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!
