Domain names - recommended company?

[Liam]

How do they work? Looking for one for a small buisness that requires reliable email and an @domainname of their choice with the potential to expand the number later and also priovide space for a website... Cost obviously and issue but looking and a reliable long standing company, anyone any good suggestions? Thanks Liam

freeservers are good for domain registration and hosting , its who the wife and i use , purchasing them is fairly painless

 

[Liam]

thank you, recommendations are good in such a swomped market. Are they a UK company?

[Liam]

anyone used godaddy?

go daddy are s**t.

123-reg are good - thats who I use to manage a s**t load of domains although I use Google Apps for the mail hosting.

 

[C.J]

123-reg are the only ones I use. Speedy at making changes to dns/domain details and , easy to use CP.

123-reg are utter shite, gone downhill hugely. A basic package doesn't even offer MySQL, poor show.

Tech-hosts have been excellent for me and the cheapest too.

Iv always used "one.com" for a number of my sites and they have always been fantastic! Easy to upgrade, e-mail etc.

 

[Sam]

I have over 15 domains registered with namecheap.com

Really good and there is 24/7 online chat support. There a bit slow but normally sort the problem out for you.

Sam!

123-reg are SUPERB for domain names

If you use any of those cheap budget hosting companies for a website you're an idiot anyway to be blunt
Just get some cloud hosting - pay for what you use - job done

 

[eugegall]

Anyone know what Get Dotted/Feeola are like?

 

[Adam.]

Guy I went to college with used Freeola - he seemed to rate them.

 

[eugegall]

All of my domains are with them. Just wondered what people thought of them.

 

[-J-]

I'm with Fasthost and they have been good.

That said I have the Domain (ltd-edition.co.uk) and don't use it for anything at the mo lol

I've been with them for about 7 years. Based in Dorset. 100% reliable.
And they've got a bloke called Keith, who never seems to leave the office I've had the occasional c*ck up with passwords, or FTP, emailed them on a Sunday evening. Keith's always emailed back within 10 mins.
Top chaps.

Vidahost, always vidahost.

This was why I chose them

Just expressing my views on a suggested company, weather it's for domains or hosting. This thread is for company opinions.

I've used them plenty of times in the past for domains and have been fine, it's just recently I've lost faith. Along with a s**t load of other people I know.

Not really an idiot. Customer service, hosting and up-time isn't difficult to offer and execute for an undercut price of the other larger companies.

LOL at saying all cheap hosting is for idiots, so little knowledge.

Especially due to the fact you rate 123-reg so highly tbh.

 

[Sym0n]

Oh Fuzzy Orange... PMSL

Anyway I used to rate 123-reg but now that they've probably lost me my highest ranking domain due to their own infrastructure being w**k (auto renewals not happening, unable to log in to my own account with the right details and unable to reset my own f**king password) they can f**king die.

Yes 15 years as a web app developer - combined 20million visits a month to my sites - I know f**k all

Sorry but the days of spending £20 for a "shared" hosting and being stuck on a badly maintained out of date server with 400 other people are IMHO over
Cloud hosting is so much more flexible, cheaper, robust...

I rate 123-reg very highly for domain registration - I have over 200 domains with them, but I'd rather stick a website on my mac mini and host it over my virgin broadband than use them for hosting
