    Pretty much every registrar will allow customers from anywhere.

    £12.50 a year for a .com from namesco.

    £6.62 from Namecheap.

    Why would anyone use Namesco for a .com?

    They're cheaper for .co.uk though, so it does pay to shop around.

    [STRIKE]Does anyone know of a price checking site that lists what registrar is currently cheapest for each TLD?[/STRIKE]

    [STRIKE]Found one. http://www.domainnamepricer.com/[/STRIKE]

    Site looks abandoned. :( Still looking for one then.

    What's wrong with webfusion? I used Xcalibre for my hosting for nearly a decade and they've recently sold their webhosting arm to webfusion.

    Only just noticed, sorry this is a late answer, but it deserves a response.
    I have a customer who was paying them annually for hosting by Direct Debit. They were also taking a monthly payment for the same hosting also by Direct Debit.
    Customer (or rather the customer's accountant) took a while to pick up on it. Webfusion really didn't want to return the money.
    I do not know what the final result was financially. I simply transferred the domain and hosting to hostinguk.net.
    :think:
  • I, too, use 123 to purchase my domain names, but I have no reason to plug them over anyone else.

    I would appeal to anyone with an ethical fibre in their being to stay well away from Godaddy whose CEO thinks nothing of shooting elephants for sport.
    I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
    But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.
