Just recieved this news letter from fasthosts is this true? What so you guys think?

Don't let your website be seen as spam...

Dear Chris,

By registering or renewing domains for only a year at a time your website is at risk of being identified as illegitimate or as a source of spam by the internet’s leading search engines.

Google has stated that domains registered for only one year are seen as illegitimate, risky sites that are downgraded in their search results.

"Unless you only need a domain temporarily, it's madness not to secure it. You'll get a better price and better search engine rankings, plus, there'll be no risk of someone stealling it if you forget to renew."

Andrew Michael
CEO Fasthosts

With UKreg, though, you can now secure your domains for a full decade in advance at the special rate of only £7.99 per year.

Extending your existing registrations to a full 10 years can now be done at the click of a button, and will ensure that your websites will be recognised as authoritative, legitimate sites that are visible for all to see on the likes of Google, Yahoo and MSN searches.

So forget about renewing every 12 months and boost your website’s search engine rankings now by securing your domain at this exclusive price for the next decade!


Best regards,

The UKreg team
