Just wondering what everyone thinks on GetDotted's domain pricing...

They're charging £3.99 a year for a .co.uk domain when you register it, but they want to charge me £5.89 + VAT for a year to renew it.

I've never seen a company charge more for renewal than registration... its either the same as registration, or less !

Just after some others opinions on this...

I'm not very happy at all.

Congratulations :¬)

There was no mention of discount. Does this mean it'll be more when I come to renew?

It shouldn't ... discount only applies to holding more domains

Do all domains come with unlimited hosting? It seems strange that I can have unlimited hosting but have to pay monthly to send emails. At the moment I can only have emails redirected.

I'd look at your MySupport account for that ...

I was drawn in by :

Unlimited Freebies for every Domain Customer:

free unlimited e-mail
Unlimited Addresses
Unlimited Mailboxes
Free Antivirus & Anti-Spam
Advanced E-mail Controls

And all I seem to be able to do is receive emails by having them redirected to my other address.

Hi Immental1200,
Like me you seem to be on the 40% discount package with the price you quote.

FWIW - I'm happy with Freeola's pricing (obviously everyone wants cheap but you also want some quality!).

I always renew for 2 years at a time, for just over a tenner or £5 a year for registration and unlimited hosting.

Surely a getting a decent service for much less than that (10p a week!) is asking a lot?!?

Ask your self this ...

Have you had a good year of hosting?
Was it worth the initial outlay?
You do realise that registered .co.uk domains cost more than unregistered!

As per my response to your ticket enquiry, we offer a discount rate for purchase of a domain initially. This results in a much better deal for customers registering a domain, and does mean that naturally, the subsequent payment for renewal is often higher than the initial outlay.

This is not uncommon practice for domain resellers. Additionally, our renewal prices are pretty well in line with companies offering a similar level of service to us, and are not in any way unreasonable, as I am sure most of our customers will agree.
