Enom does co.uk at last!

about time too!

Though at $5.99/yr seems expensive (123reg is $4 for TWO years)

Maybe I read it wrong and its $5.99 for 2 years

 

[whitelion]

i still don't see how enom is good? Im new. It seems very expensive. $29 per reg.
I only want to buy domains to sell.
i don't need all the other jargon.

whitelion, everyone here has either reseller or cheap retail accounts. Someone with a $6.95 account could make you as cheap as a $8.14 retail account so you could register domains for far less then the $29 it costs.

Hi

Tried some .co.uk with enom but it wouldn't configure, lots of odbc errors I never saw before with enom when I tried to configure a domain before checking out or a
'results are unknown at this time.' when I check a domain.

Its good to know that even the leading registrars have problems interfacing with Nominet.

If you can tell me how to get a $2/year .co.uk domain from 123reg, I'd sure appreciate it!

As far as I can see their Total price Including VAT
price is £3.04/year which is about us $5. Still cheaper than enom but of course enom has a lot more features, api, etc.

 

[comcrazy]

yes, sorry 123reg is £3.04 per year = $4.56 /yr for co.uk

I converted to dollars by dividing by 1.5 instead of multiplying!

 

[Validweb]

yeah
the 2 year nic fee is £5.00 or about $8 or $4/year, depending on the exchange rate.

If and when eNom irons out the .co.uk and .org.uk registration kinks, myl offer of $7.99/yr (PayPal only) registration willt take effect until May 18.

Update:
a. The .xx.uk (eNom) registration system seems to be working on and off...
b. It appears you need a UK address to teg these, and
c. There is a 2 yr registration minimum.

I cannot register one to test because I am physically in the US.

 

[Validweb]

hi

you don't need a us address, far as I know.

how does one buy/register .uk with you?

 

[TrafficMonsterRRR]

You are right you do not need a UK address! THANK YOU.

The temporary page to register specials is:

http://paypal.24hrNames.com

(.com .net .org .biz .info .us is included in the special (ends May 18)

THANKS AGAIN!

Why is it that you can only register .co.uk and org.uk at eNom for only 2 years?

 

[Mr Webname]

I believe that Nominet require a 2 year initial registration - I know my UK registrar only offers 2 years.

 

[mole]

Thanks, web. I tested eNom today with my very first .org.uk buy and after registering the name for the requisite 2 years, I tried to extend the term by one more. The purchase went through then was refunded into my account balance.

Strange ruling really. Even .CN has a 5 year maximum.

Nominet should really consider introducing a 2nd level tld instead of the arcane third level. Things should shake up a bit once the 2tld .eu is introduced.

Havn't you heard of the British "stiff upper-lip" - it's done differently over here. (YAWN)

 

[Honan]

123 is $4 a year
Is that right?
What are the rues for .uk
Excuse my ignorance
