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

Re: Domain Names
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.

Re: Domain Names
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.

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

Re: Domain Names
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.

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.
