Great deal. Just a shame you have to reg a name with them in order to use it (or transfer one). I'm tempted to transfer a name over just to take advantage of the offer - anyone know if they charge a transfer-out/tag change fee at all?

Indeed, does anyone know if you can have addon domains on their hosting, can't see it mentioned on the site. Would be willing to transfer some crap domain over if so.

Cheers, Grant

Both ways? Some registrars charge a tag change fee when transferring out.

You’re welcome!

I did buy their most expensive package for 10p though . Code works fine. I had a domain in mind and because I used Telivo (now LCN) before then I decided to reg it with them, still almost the same fee for co.uk - £6+VAT.

Looks like no addon domains. But I would definitely find a way to utilise 5GB space and Traffic. Especially they mention a Low-Population server. Sever does look like LAMP no cPanel . Auto renew is off, which is good.

I’ll see how it goes.

Cheers,

Mike

Just an update if anyone is considering LCN hosting. Sort of a “short review”

Main point for the price they are charging for their top package I can get nice reseller account in the US and reasonable multi-domain hosting in the UK.

So what you would get:
Decent server (I should agree with them on this), LAMP, IonCube and Zend Optimizer active by default, mod_rewrite enabled. AWStats preloaded.

What you wouldn’t get:
WHM, cPanel, Fantastico, addon domains, parked domains, forwarders, shell access, ROR and any reasonable control over your hosting.

Conclusion: for 10p a year it’s just fine, but I would give anything more than that.

Mine was set in like 20 mins. But they did warn that it might take 24 hours + due to high demand.
