Domain name registration

[rocketjet]

I’ve used 123-reg for over 10 years. They have a comprehensive portal, prices have increased recently due to nominet, however I only use them for domain registration & DNS.

It’s all expensed to the company so what savings are you expecting?

Currently with 123reg for my LTD. domain registration and looking to see who other people on here use so I can weigh up my options when the renewals kick in next month. Thanks in advance.

I use 123. Why do you want to move ? Is it cost driven ?

For domain registration I use and can recommend DynDNS.

For DNS record hosting, I moved to DtDNS when DynDNS became too expensive. I can recommend DtDNS and I find their free hostnames useful too. However their servers are very slow when you want to edit something.

I use 1and1 for myco website and email hosting

1and1 is about the only one I would recommend to avoid. Too many limitations on what you can do with the zonefiles (well it was around 2009).

Freeparking.co.uk work for me and don't cost anything except the domain renewal.

I've been with Network Solutions for donkey's years, since the early 2000's. Not exactly cheap but I'm lazy and CBA to move my domains. No issue with the service though.

It's not the cost really its practices like this that I don't like about 123reg so looking for alternatives - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/0..._registration/

I don't need hosting at the moment (just one them is joined with my Ltd. Co's O365 instance for email).

In that case then I have everything through Vidahost, can’t recommend them enough

As TM says if it’s just domain registration just go for the cheapest, if hosting is needed too I’d recommend Vidahost

A domain name registration costs what ? a tenner a year or something ? What are you going to 'shop around' for ?
