123 ...again

[seanc]

i regged a domain with 123 yesterday, i was invoiced and my card was
charged.. but they never regg'ed the domain for me.

should 123 get this domain back for me at all costs?

Maybe use weycrest in future....

Paul will reg, opt-out, set nameservers and push to 123 all in one go...

when i first started domaining, i tried to use 123-reg to catch names as they dropped, it was always too slow of course. The best you will get is a credit to your account or refund.

Note since their interface "upgrade", you can no longer use your account credit to buy names...DOH

I've stopped using 123-reg now. I use someone else who are a tad more expensive, but I get instant registration.

 

[wwwdomain.name]

Forgot to mention...

It's only a pound and a few pence extra to reg through paul but well worth it for the lack of hassle and peace of mind...
TBH - If domainers converted, I'd transfer all my names over...

Find most holding/buying domains currently prefer to use 123 one way or another...

 

[seanc]

yes, im tempted to try weycrest

ukreg - to slow, sometimes tells you the domain is still regg'ed
even tho it just dropped

123-reg - to many cock ups recently, i think this is the 2nd time i been
charged for domain that they failed to reg, and a couple of occasions
they havnt listed my domain in the control panel and support has took
days to put it back in. I also paid for SEO and i dont appear to have
got anything for my money, no reports, nothing.


(i do have a TAG, but i only use this from work, so out of hours i prefer to
use someone else)

lol, is someone from 123 reading this?

i regged the domain yesterday, checked the whois at 10am this morning,
still wasnt regged, just tried to reg it through weycrest, says its already
regg'ed.. checked the whois again.. 123-Reg regg'ed it for me.

By the time they get their 48 hours responder support to read my email, a refund should be on its way, they mucked up one last night.

 

[wwwdomain.name]

Makes me laugh:

Two names were reg'ed a while back...

Both got, reg'ed neither showed in the CP...

Sent seperate emails through about it...

One header ----- (whatever)
One header ----- porno

Which do you think got opened first?

Neither got responded to...

Took a phone call.

Is it me or are 123 taking longer to reg Domains now?

 

[retired_member6]

It might just be the whois time, alternatively they may not have regd it. If it's a domain you want, I'd suggest as others did to me the other night, check nominet whois, go to another site and register it and get a refund from the one that fails to register it.

If I had waited for 123-reg instead of going elsewhere and getting the domain again, I may never have got it as 123-reg was never going to. Which domain is it? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I've stopped using 123-reg. THey can sometimes take over 15 minutes to register a domain, and as such, if it's just dropped - 123-reg are useless.

Its nothing to do with nom's whois. 123-reg must simply batch send all requests. The same is with changing NS records etc - sometimes, 123-reg takes forever!
