A question about : Need a new site to host a domain

As the title says. Currently with Melbourne IT for hosting a .co.uk domain that I look after for a small business site. (Hangover from the demise of Microsoft Office Live Small Business site)

Previously paid $29 USD for 2 years registration. They are now asking for $195 (USD or OZ not sure, waiting for response). I need to re-locate the registration site.

The actual website is hosted elsewhere and will stay where it is.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a new domain host? GoDaddy? 123? ...?

Best answers:

  • Always found Vidahost good.
    Currently have 4 domains plus various bits of hosting with them, very happy.
  • transfer to 123-reg ( free transfer for .co.uk domains) and it will be Ј7 for 2 years
  • even getting a domain direct from Nominet is only Ј80 (which no one ever does) as using a Nominet accredited reseller like 123-reg is only Ј7 for 2 years
    it will be $129 AUD (Ј64.80 GBP) from Melbourne IT
  • I have a number of sites and domains with TSO Host and have found them to be well priced and reliable.
  • You can even take a look at Webhosting UK or Rshosting have few of my customers hosting with them service is pretty good nothing to complain about at affordable price.
  • Are you connected with that first link in any way? (You seem to have bumped some threads to promote that link).
  • namecheap.com
    Am american company but there are coupons available. While they don't specifically state they are for a .co.uk domain, give them a tweet or email and ask if there are any for .co.uk domains or if they can do anything about the price.
    .co.uk domain would be:
    Ј4.93 - 1 year
    Ј7.79 - 2 years (Ј3.89 per year)
    18.51 - 5 years (Ј3.70 per year)
    Ј37.01 - 10 years (Ј3.70 per year)
    Those prices are without any discount coupons.
  • 123-reg
    .co.uk domain would be:
    Ј4.99 - 1 year
    Ј6.98 - 2 years (Ј3.49 per year)
    Ј17.45 - 5 years (Ј3.49 per year)
    Ј34.90 - 10 years (Ј3.49 per year)
  • Another vote for www.123-reg.co.uk who are a very reputable UK domain registrar.
  • I have decided to go with 123-reg.co.uk
    Started the transfer process; waiting for "RegistrarTagChange".
    Thanks for all your input.
