    Just looking for a reality check.

    Anyone got any views on the best UK company (may as well keep the money in the UK) where I can set up .co.uk / .uk and .com bearing in mind the following :

    i. UK owned company
    ii. Reliable and trustworthy
    iii. Ability to do a 10 year reg for .uk and .com
    iv.Total management of domain and DNS
    v. A fair price when buying long periods
    vi. No ridiculous fees for transferring out or when it comes to renewal

    I used to use Fasthosts - but they're just ripping everyone off with renewal fee prices.So have moved all of those.

    I am a tag holder, but I want this at arms length so can't be on my tag - plus I can't do .com anyway.

    Any thoughts?

    another plus for 20i in general. Brilliant hosting service... great support. DOnt have domains with them but worth checking out their prices.

    I used Yay for all of my domains until I got my tag a few months ago, I'm still using them for .com

    Thanks for the links - i have heard good things about 20i before - so will take a look.

    Much rather keep in with a UK company - keep the cash flowing round the UK :D

    Thanks all.

    Netistrar 100%

    Whenever I have needed to use outside services for .com or .uk even, I've used Netistrar. I got in early when it launched and got on a VIP plan, the .COM are such a great price.

    LCN is part of Namesco... Belgium?

    Thanks for all your help settled on 20i in the end.

    Will be moving all domains from the two "UK sellouts" in the top 10 that until now have ignored the importance of the vote for a fairer and more just Nominet that focuses only on what it shoudl be focusing on!
