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.
