Domains names

Hi all,

I currently work for a major domains reg and hosting company and I've got a new job elsewhere so need to move my domains to a company that:

a) Has cheap renewals for both TLD and .co.uk domains
b) Has a control panel with full DNS control as well as free email and web forwarding.
c) has a customer service dept you that actually reply to emails! :cheesy:

any ideas?

Cheers

    Personally I've always used UKReg and Fasthosts (essentially same people, one do registration other do hosting) and their customer service does actually exist and they usually respond quickly. Don't have a basis for comparison though.

    I use 123 reg
    apparently their customer support is sometimes a bit flaky but I've never needed to contact them as their online system is very good.

    from ukreg's site:
    1 domain year Total price per year (excluding VAT)
    UK domains e.g. .co.uk £2.95 (minimum 2 years)
    US domains e.g. .com .net .org £8.89
    .eu £8.89
    .mobi £14.99 (2, 5 or 10 years)
    .info and .biz £8.89 (minimum 2 years)
    .tv £30.99
    .name £8.99 (1, 2 or 10 years)

    These prices drop if you are purchasing 10 domain years or more:
