"Need domain host"

Hello there, I need a decent domain registration company, I've been looking at 1 & 1, and their domains are only £1.99 per year.

Has anyone got any good reccomendations? I've been told to go with staghosting for hosting..

Can't say I've noticed, been FTP'ing all night as well as email! But then thats probably due to my connection (1MB!;))

You're all forgetting about renewal fees!! .com's are expensive at renewal! Check to see what it's going to cost before signing up.

Thanks for the recommendation guys, Although I went with ukreg.com, who in my opinion, are superb! Well, for what you get anyway.

A .com domain for just over a tenner :)

For your first 2 years, then it's upped to the ususal nominet fee after that, which is about £35-55 per domain.

123reg.co.uk are just over a fiver for two years .co.uk and you can change all the DNS settings etc yourself.

Excellent, cheers for that reccomendation! I've just gone and purchased it now, it's in the registration process.

DON'T GO WITH 1&1!!

They basically steal any domain you register with them unless you want to pay for their hosting. (You can't change the DNS. You have to get hosted with them.)

Getdotted were good until they decided to start charging for changing DNS, but now they're just expensive and they try to con you out of money just for simple things that nearly all other registrars give you for free.

I'd go with Ukreg.com, I got a .co.uk domain there for about £6 for 2 years and I'm moving my .com one when it comes up for renewal due to Getdotted being very expensive.

And yes, go with Staghosting for the free hosting. Server 4 is pretty good.
