.co.uk domains

Hi guys,

I'm tring to find inexpensive (under $10/year) .CO.UK domain registrant. Can you help me?

Is this mean I do not own my domain?

Best Regards

You own the domain. I think these guys are talking about the other account services they offer along with your domain. They have a good reputation. We have sent customers to them who wanted to pay with a Solo card instead of a regular credit card. No complaints have come back from any of these referrals.

Your price should not be difficult to find either. Be aware though that .uk domains are registered for 2 years, not one. This is a Registry requirement.

Yep, 123-reg are quite good - I've registered a lot of UK domains with them.

It works out to one of the lowest around:

£6.79 for a .UK domain (2 years)
That's only a £1.79 overhead (The Nominet UK registry charge a £5 statutory charge for UK domains per 2 years).

Webforwarding/email forwarding is free plus they do a brilliant mapped webfowarding - eg: it will pass subdirectories.
(eg:
YourDomain.com/ ----maps to----> myspace.myisp.com/myspace
YourDomain.com/directory ---> myspace.myisp.com/myspace/directory)
It works like proper webspace!

I wouldn't worry about those terms and conditions - the domain becomes YOUR property (legally). You will get a certificate from Nominet UK after about 6 months (they have a HUGE backlog and they are nonprofitmaking) - which confirms it to be yours.

This is also a good UK domain and COM/NET/ORG registrar.
The reason I use them is because the service is *very* personal and good - they reply personally (and you can even phone them up) within a few hours to your queries and have always helped me out with any problems.
They are a little more expensive, but it's well worth it just for the friendly service!
