I have a bunch of .uk domains with 123-reg. The cunts want £15pa to renew them for a year. I don't really fancy paying that much, especially when a couple of years ago I renewed them at closer to £5pa. That's a significant hike when in that time the wholesale price Nominet charges its members has gone up by all of about 30p.
Which other registrars are out there can handle .uk domains, are cheaper, and also not shit? (GoDaddy need not apply.)
This is the difficult part. Most of mine are with Network Solutions, who are expensive and shit. I believe AWS can do them now too, and their prices for .uk domains seem reasonable - $9 per year.
I have a .org domain, which I've owned since 2004. It doesn't host much, but it matters to a few people.
You now found yourself in the same trouble, I guess. I have no fucking clue how .uk domains are handled, but you can shop around, yet find that every other offer just resells what you already have.
What you also need to be clear of:
Do they take care of mail (I'm careful to say not MAIL or MAILX)
Do they control your, A, AAAA records?
Do some weird fucking redirect on your hosting where it's an iframe (HAS HAPPENED, never use 1&1)
Mostly , just learn that owning an domain gives you a bit of power, and where you host some basic HTML is a just a few quids away.
>>28220 I think namesilo are the cheapest for transfers at 6.50 USD
I've had a few domains with them for years now without an issue, no price hikes and free whois privacy. wholeheartedly recommend.
