theduisbergkid Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Inspired by this, I thought I'd better register the domain as I rather like it. However, when I check with 123-reg.co.uk, it tells me the .com domain is already taken. When I check with fasthosts.co.uk it tells me it isn't. A Whois lookup tells me "Please note: the registrant of the domain name is specified in the "registrant" field. In most cases, GoDaddy.com, Inc. is not the registrant of domain names listed in this database." .. but there is no mention of owner/contact info. I'm confused dot com. On a related note, with a tweak to the domain name I want, I can buy it from 123-reg.co.uk for £9.98 for a year, but the same one from fasthosts.co.uk is £8.89 for a year. Whois want $9.98 for it but I hate using US-based companies. Based on the above, who do I use ? Any other suggestions ? Helpski !

DHA Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 GoDaddy (sounds very very odd and creates bad images in my head, in part caused by pron I guess) get good reviews and its who I use. I got my .com for about $20 for 3 years, but given the value of the £ now it might not be a great deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontyslapper Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I've just paid £10.33 for a .com and a .co.uk for our scout group with a year of hosting and other tricks. After the first year its about £2 a month for all the tricks. one.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
