Price increase at 1and1

[singlefile]

Looks like 1and1 have decided to increase prices, nearer to 123reg levels. This is currently being sweetened with a 1 year "free period"

You'll note the statement that domains will be "from £2.99/year" beyond year 1

I usually buy my domains at 1and1 even though take agez to register them !

I am not happy about the price change !


Their sales will drop within couple of days !

Quick equation....

1&1 + 123-reg = old uk2.net

Pish!

Maybe, but less sales at a profit is preferable to more sales at a loss

£2.99 / 2yrs

Isn't that a price cut?

As I wrote earlier, there is an initial sweetener and then it's £2.99 per annum.

Sorry!

At the time I posted that link it said

With the cheapest .co.uk domain anywhere (only £1.99 per year )

they have since changed it to

With the cheapest .co.uk domain anywhere (only £2.99 per year )

Still a good deal for the first 2 years though.

why not register for the 1st year free then transfer out to 123-reg for free?

£3.51 for 2 years. Bargain if you ask me.

I missed that ... they're good at hiding things in the small print.

 

[Johnp]

I just got my latest 1&1 bill, it has only showed 3 names with the 50% discount off the 2.99 a year price , all the others were at the 1.99 per annum price.

Anyone else had a bill with the 50% discount applied and can they confirm how many names they got the discount applied to (is it only the 5 names as per the small print of their offer) ?. I have got quite a few names to Reg in the next week or so and need a view as to whether to chance it with 1&1 or go back to 123Reg ?

Thanks !
