Domain Names
 

Hi

Does anyone know a good company where I can get a domain name for £1.99 year.

I need a company that takes solo cards. I have tried lycos but they now charge a extra fee of £9.99 just to be able to change the nameservers on it. I also tried 1&1 but they don't take solo.

Does anyone know any other companies.

Thanks
Craig

I use UK2, don't know about Solo cards though. Free to change NS.

EDIT - Just checked - they take Solo.

Charge 1p a month, so 24p for the .co.uk and then a database management charge.

Hmm. Uk reg say that their .co.uk's are £2.95 a year, and claim it's the lowest price in the UK, don't know if they accept solo though and you have to register it for a minimum 2 year term.

Re: Domain Names
 

a lot depends on what type of domain you want to get.. .org.uk for example is much cheaper than a .co.uk or a .com... you also have different options for the time before renewal based on which you choose.. (like bifta said)

I tend to favour http://www.123-reg.co.uk

Its a .co.uk address that I want. Both Lycos and 1&1 offer them for £1.99 per year which is the cheapest I have found It works out at about £4.68 for 2 years including VAT. The only problem is lycos charge an extra fee to change the nameservers. 1&1 don't charge extra but they don't accept solo cards.

So spend the extra 50p a year for a provider that will take solo (uk reg)..... jeeeeez all for nothing eh?

Re: Domain Names
 

It's an extra £1.50 over 2 years when you add the VAT but I will probably register with them unless lycos get back to me and let me know what the extra charge for DNS Manager includes.

I use 1&1 (not with Solo though). Very pleased.

ukreg were very cheap & did the job for me.
Plus you get to control the DNS servers it points to yourself 4free
