Currently I use 123-Reg, though that will change once I become a registrar.
Why?
- Cheapest .co.uk I've seen, and the other tld prices are ok.
- Control Panel is ugly but does the job.
- No lock-ins, or transfer away fees, like with cunts such as UK2 or 1and1.
- Sometimes have offers on, buy a .com for 2 years and get a free .co.uk.
- Only 1 nag screen to buy their other services, other companies bully you into it and even if you click "no, domain only" you get to the checkout with a total twice as much as the advertised price cos they added their extra crap in.
I suppose someone like GoDaddy is cheapest for .com/.net/.org but they don't accept switch/maestro cards and I can't be arsed with bank charges for paying in $.
This thread is really a bit of market research as I am looking to price match the main UK based registrars, and offer a simple and painless service with plenty of features as standard. So if you have any gripes with your current registrar, use this thread to rant about it, and we will be sure not to share their business practices!
